39 分钟Hello and welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet.
I'm head of programming, Connor Boyle.
Today's episode is part one of our recent live event with comedian,
writer and podcaster, Adam Buxton.
In conversation with columnist, Catlan Moran,
Buxton reflected on the stories behind his new memoir,
I Love You Bye,
his early days in DIY TV and personal tales of family, fame and fatherhood.
At the start of the episode,
you may notice that Adam makes reference to a costume that he's wearing.
It's difficult to do the costume justice in words,
so we've added a link to a photo of Adam wearing it in the podcast description.
Hello, good evening.

and I throw no shade here because I've done it myself,
someone basically rehashing the relevant Wikipedia entry and then really selling you a load of facts and dates and figures in your best circus ringmaster voice.
You then do the evening admin, which I will do here,
which is to remind you that we're here to celebrate the release of I Love You By,
