First 90 secondsAdam Buxton· Host0:00
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 you doing, podcasts? It's Adam Buxton here on a beautiful morning. Maybe it's even a bit summery. I mean, I appreciate that by 5:00 it might be snowing, but it's nice right now. I'm wearing shorts, and I'm here with my best dog friend, Rosie. How you doing, Rosie?

Sorry. Hey, thanks to everyone who came out to the Brighton and Margate shows, and indeed, by the time you hear this, the Buxton Show. That's where I'm heading tonight. After I record this, I'm gonna cycle to the station, get on the train, and head up to Buxton. And then we're in Manchester and Leicester on Monday and Tuesday night. And then that's it for our band commitments for a little while. We play another couple of shows towards the end of June in London
