Adam talk to English writer Jesse Armstrong about his comedy influences, why he's happy to leave the 4th wall unbroken, whether Peep Show was realistic, the challenges involved with writing Succession, separating the art from artist, audiences laughing in the wrong way, whether satire does more harm than good and other hot waffle. This conversation was recorded face to face in London on March 29th, 2023 Thanks to Séamus Murphy-Mitchell for production support and conversation editing.

Hey, Adam, here with a shout out for a new podcast series that I'm acting in.
It's called up in Smoke.
It's a dark supernatural drama told in the style of a factual, true crime investigative podcast, written and directed by Guy Larson and Cambria Bailey Jones.
Up in Smoke.
The first two episodes are available now from your favorite podcast bin.
I added one more podcast to the giant podcast bin.
Now you have plucked that podcast out and started listening.
I took my microphone and found some human folk.
Then I recorded all the noises while we spoke.
My name is Adam Buxton.
I'm a man.
I want you to enjoy this.
That's the plan.
Hey, how are you doing, podcats?
Adam Buxton here, reporting to you from a muddy farm track out in the fields of Norfolk county, uk.
It's a nice afternoon out here towards the.
What are we looking at?
Coming up to the last week of September 2023.
Very picturesque, painterly clouds, bit of sunshine over there beyond them.
Not too windy.
