Best known for The Adam Buxton Podcast, The Adam and Joe Show on Channel 4, and the distinctive blend of surreal and self-deprecating humour he brings to all his work, Buxton has spent decades making people laugh while also offering insightful reflections on the quirks, highs, lows and occasional heartbreak of modern life.  In May 2025 Buxton came to the Intelligence Squared stage to celebrate the publication of his new memoir, I Love You, Byeee: Rambles on DIY TV, Rockstars, Kids and Mums, the highly anticipated sequel to his previous memoir Ramble Book: Musings on Childhood, Friendship, Family and 80s Pop Culture. In conversation with bestselling author and columnist Caitlin Moran, Buxton dove into stories from the book and beyond, reflecting on his creative partnership with Joe Cornish, encounters with icons like David Bowie, and the joys and absurdities of family life. The conversation that spans laughter, loss, ageing, and parenthood – all delivered in Adam’s signature blend of humour and heart. --- If you'd like to become a Member and get access to all our full ad free conversations, plus all of our Members-only content, just visit intelligencesquared.com/membership to find out more.

  • Welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet.

  • This is part two of our recent live event with Adam Buxton and Catlin Moran.

  • If you missed part one, just jump back an episode to hear Adam on creativity,

  • David Bowie, and the making of his very own podcast.

  • Now, let's rejoin the conversation.

  • But writing about it though, like, did it make you reflect on, I mean,

  • I guess it must have made you reflect on how you parent,

  • because it seems that you've really tried very hard.

  • To not parent like your parents.

  • You have not sent your children away to school.

  • Would you buy them a Fortnum's hamper if you felt that you owed them an apology?

  • Or would you just give them a hug and say sorry?

  • Well, the hug is cheaper.

  • So you do that first.

  • And if that's not working, then you start going on the Fortnum's website.

  • No, I mean, I'm always caught between,

  • you know, because I don't want to dismiss my parents.

  • completely out of hand they didn't get some things right in my estimation but I think they got other things right and they they behaved in some ways that I admire and that I sort of wish I had a little bit more of myself a certain kind of stoicism that maybe I lack I don't know so I'm not I'm not parenting in a radically different way there are boundaries I'm quite sort of Victorian dad sometimes when it needs to happen But most of the time I'm wandering around,

  • not in the queen costume, but in shorts.

  • I'm very much always the same sort of person.
