38 分钟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.
