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 are you doing, podcats?
It's Adam Buxton here.
I'm being stung by net owls out on a farm track in East Anglia.
Ouch!
The thing is that out here in Norfolk in mid-June 2025, when I'm recording this intro, it is hot.
And I'm out here with my best dog friend, Rosie, who is not that pleased to be out.
On a hot day like this, but still needs a bit of exercise.
She's mainly been lounging, basking in the shade and on the hot patio slabs.
I've come out wearing gym shorts and trainers rather than my walking boots.
And that was a bit thick, really,
because now I'm walking along quite overgrown farm tracks with a lot of brambles, nettles.
and tiny creatures that want to attack me, all of them want to attack me.
The brambles and the sort of spiny bits of wheat chaff, I don't know exactly what they are,
are getting lodged in my socks and also in the top parts of my trainers and sticking into my ankles.
The creatures are just munching on my legs,
and the nettles have stung the living heck out of my shins.
I'm not complaining, it's a sensory smorgasbord that makes me feel alive.
And I'm delighted to be here with you for episode number 251 of the podcast,
