THE ADAM BUXTON PODCAST

Adam walks along London's Regent's Canal with British comedian, artist, writer and actor Rob Auton and talks about Rob's creative process, winning a best joke award at the Edinburgh Fringe for a joke he no longer tells, his upbringing as the son of a plumber and a baker and how his background informs his appreciation for the everyday, infinite universes, the value of taking artistic risks, and reading out reviews for his live shows while they're being written.
Conversation recorded face-to-face walking by Regent’s Canal between Shoreditch, King’s Cross and Camden on 17 October, 2024.

PEOPLE'S EMERGENCY BRIEFING ON CLIMATE Information about where to see the film and how to organise a screening.
Sign Chris Packham's petition HERE
“The UK faces growing risks from climate and nature breakdown – from extreme weather to economic disruption and national security threats. Yet the public has never been given a clear national briefing on the scale of these risks. Government should hold an emergency briefing from leading experts. These risks could have serious consequences across UK society, with threats to health and food supply – which could become irreversible without urgent action. Many people are unclear how these risks may affect them, and information in the public domain is often misleading. A credible national briefing from independent experts would give people clear, trusted guidance on what these risks mean in practice, and what we can do – both together and individually – to prepare and respond.” Chris Packham.
