The Adam Buxton Podcast

The Adam Buxton Podcast is a podcast in which the English comedian Adam Buxton interviews guests. The first episode was released in 2015. Recurring guests include the comedian Natasia Demetriou and the filmmakers Joe Cornish, Louis Theroux, Richard Ayoade and Garth Jennings.

Background
With Joe Cornish, Buxton presented the 1990s television series The Adam and Joe Show, followed by the radio series Adam and Joe. When Cornish released his first feature film, Attack the Block (2011), Buxton worried his own career was declining. After listening to American podcasts including This American Life and WTF with Marc Maron, he decided to create a British longform interview podcast. He released the first episode in September 2015. == Format ==
Format
Most episodes begin with an introduction from Buxton as he walks through the Norfolk countryside with his dog, Rosie, followed by a previously recorded conversation with the episode's guest. Interviews cover personal and cultural topics, punctuated with musical interludes from Buxton. Christmas episodes feature Cornish. Buxton described the podcast as "a confection ... a heavily stylised greatest hits of a conversation". In 2025, Buxton said he would stop recording the podcast when Rosie dies. == Reception ==
Reception
The Guardian described Buxton's interviews as "a masterclass in softly-softly interviewing", and named episode 29, an interview with the documentary filmmaker Louis Theroux, one of the "ultimate podcast episodes". The Irish Times wrote that "Buxton's interviews are gentle, funny, compassionate, interested – it's almost as if you could learn how to be a better conversationalist just from listening to him". == Awards ==
