S2 EP9: Adam Buxton on podcast rivalry, problematic musical heroes, and abandoning social media.

In the final episode of the series, Louis is in the Spotify studio with lifelong friend, comedian and fellow podcaster, Adam Buxton. In a typically rambling conversation, they chat about problematic musical heroes, Adam’s ascent to podcast royalty and his anxieties about the culture wars which led to him abandoning social media. Expect salty language and an assortment of impressions.

Warnings: Strong language and adult themes.
