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.  Links/Attachments: ‘Steve Harwell, the former lead singer of Smash Mouth, dies at 56’ - NPR  https://www.npr.org/2023/09/05/1197578311/steve-harwell-the-former-lead-singer-of-smash-mouth-dies-at-56 [https://www.npr.org/2023/09/05/1197578311/steve-harwell-the-former-lead-singer-of-smash-mouth-dies-at-56] ‘Tom Hanks’ - The Adam Buxton Podcast  https://www.adam-buxton.co.uk/podcasts/lpbk8k9zbhx54zt-8yl8m-mdzjc-whmf8-2lwfg-emz92-cxnlh-ghwwh-r34cb-sfwnb-kmjcj-x8cgn-gzmzx-xfpt5-x6cma-d8lbc [https://www.adam-buxton.co.uk/podcasts/lpbk8k9zbhx54zt-8yl8m-mdzjc-whmf8-2lwfg-emz92-cxnlh-ghwwh-r34cb-sfwnb-kmjcj-x8cgn-gzmzx-xfpt5-x6cma-d8lbc]  ‘Kayvan Novak’ - The Adam Buxton Podcast  https://www.adam-buxton.co.uk/podcasts/wmcgmfe7zj7chps-89fa4-2e48e-rwzy8-824b8-4mdjd-2hcs8-chrb2-7y8jj-5pcse-2wtsh-cz8zd-e3cdy-g68s7-3dezn-7k5mw [https://www.adam-buxton.co.uk/podcasts/wmcgmfe7zj7chps-89fa4-2e48e-rwzy8-824b8-4mdjd-2hcs8-chrb2-7y8jj-5pcse-2wtsh-cz8zd-e3cdy-g68s7-3dezn-7k5mw] ‘Sarah Silverman’ - The Adam Buxton Podcast https://www.adam-buxton.co.uk/podcasts/wmcgmfe7zj7chps-89fa4-2e48e-rwzy8-824b8-4mdjd [https://www.adam-buxton.co.uk/podcasts/wmcgmfe7zj7chps-89fa4-2e48e-rwzy8-824b8-4mdjd] ‘Sarah Silverman: ‘There are jokes I made 15 years ago I would absolutely not make today” - The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/global/2017/nov/19/sarah-silverman-interview-jokes-i-made-15-years-ago-i-wouldnt-make-today [https://www.theguardian.com/global/2017/nov/19/sarah-silverman-interview-jokes-i-made-15-years-ago-i-wouldnt-make-today] ‘How the alt-right uses internet trolling to confuse you into dismiss its ideology’ - Vox  https://www.vox.com/2016/11/23/13659634/alt-right-trolling [https://www.vox.com/2016/11/23/13659634/alt-right-trolling]  ‘Iggy Pop isn’t about to whitewash his past’ - New York Times https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/01/02/magazine/iggy-pop-interview.html [https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/01/02/magazine/iggy-pop-interview.html] ‘The death of the groupie’ - New Statesman  https://www.newstatesman.com/culture/music/2023/05/death-groupie-music-the-beatles-rolling-stones-nick-cave [https://www.newstatesman.com/culture/music/2023/05/death-groupie-music-the-beatles-rolling-stones-nick-cave] ‘The Man Who Fell to Earth’ (1976) - Trailer  https://youtu.be/KarWCgIw3Wk?si=j7kC5IKpizNdmq9w [https://youtu.be/KarWCgIw3Wk?si=j7kC5IKpizNdmq9w]  ‘The Ricky Gervais Show’ - Podcast  https://youtu.be/9LtjWxmC6KY?si=pI2hH41OvhpFKd0V [https://youtu.be/9LtjWxmC6KY?si=pI2hH41OvhpFKd0V]  ‘The Adam and Joe Show’ - Channel 4  https://www.channel4.com/programmes/the-adam-and-joe-show [https://www.channel4.com/programmes/the-adam-and-joe-show] (UK Only) ‘Adam and Joe’ - XFM https://www.adamandjoearchive.org/XFM/ [https://www.adamandjoearchive.org/XFM/] ‘Adam and Joe’ - BBC 6 Music  https://www.adamandjoearchive.org/6%20Music/ [https://www.adamandjoearchive.org/6%20Music/] ‘Jon Ronson On’ - BBC Radio 4  https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b007mhqc [https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b007mhqc] ‘Attack The Block’ (2011) - Trailer  https://youtu.be/m0ntk1o4V3k?si=3fF9U6ljnkuwnW-7 [https://youtu.be/m0ntk1o4V3k?si=3fF9U6ljnkuwnW-7] ‘Louis Theroux’ - The Adam Buxton Podcast https://www.adam-buxton.co.uk/podcasts/128 [https://www.adam-buxton.co.uk/podcasts/128] ‘Tash Demetriou’ - The Adam Buxton Podcast https://www.adam-buxton.co.uk/podcasts/lpbk8k9zbhx54zt-8yl8m-mdzjc-whmf8-2lwfg-emz92-cxnlh-ghwwh-r34cb-sfwnb-kmjcj-x8cgn-gzmzx-xfpt5-x6cma-d8lbc-9adl4-5smea [https://www.adam-buxton.co.uk/podcasts/lpbk8k9zbhx54zt-8yl8m-mdzjc-whmf8-2lwfg-emz92-cxnlh-ghwwh-r34cb-sfwnb-kmjcj-x8cgn-gzmzx-xfpt5-x6cma-d8lbc-9adl4-5smea] ‘Ad reads’ - The Adam Buxton Podcast https://www.adam-buxton.co.uk/sponsor-ads [https://www.adam-buxton.co.uk/sponsor-ads] ‘Louis Theroux’ - Diary of a CEO https://youtu.be/cj8ojSVgU9I?si=RX8_ON5riOIZ8Zhn [https://youtu.be/cj8ojSVgU9I?si=RX8_ON5riOIZ8Zhn] ‘Michael Barbaro: About Those Hmms’ - New York Times https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/24/podcasts/daily-newsletter-reporter-diary-summer-playlist.html [https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/24/podcasts/daily-newsletter-reporter-diary-summer-playlist.html] ‘The Adrenochrome conspiracy theory – pushed by ‘Sound of Freedom’ star – explained' - Forbes https://www.forbes.com/sites/conormurray/2023/07/15/the-adrenochrome-conspiracy-theory-pushed-by-sound-of-freedom-star-explained/?sh=218d24645179 [https://www.forbes.com/sites/conormurray/2023/07/15/the-adrenochrome-conspiracy-theory-pushed-by-sound-of-freedom-star-explained/?sh=218d24645179] Credits: Producer: Millie Chu  Assistant Producer: Maan Al-Yasiri  Production Manager: Francesca Bassett  Music: Miguel D’Oliveira  Executive Producer: Arron Fellows     A Mindhouse Production for Spotify  www.mindhouse.co.uk [http://www.mindhouse.co.uk/]  Learn more about your ad choices.
