Glastonbury Redux - Adam and Joe style

Glastonbury used to be a high spot in the Adam and Joe calender but they haven't broadcast from there since 2011. Happily, there are carefully curated archives, dotted around the net. Of course, Adam & Joe presented some telly stuff in the early noughties but we don't want to go back that far, do we?

The Shows:

The first Adam & Joe BBC 6 Music Glasto broadcast was supposed to be in 2008 but Joe went all sicky. Luckily, Garth was more than happy to hitch a ride with Adam and they made a lovely show, with Adam going the customary extra mile to include some special content. 

2009 was Adam and Joe's golden year at 6 Music. The station could hardly believe the sensation they'd unleashed. At Glastonbury, they gave them two evening shows (Sunset Shows) and two morning shows AND a couple of Glasto Gold pre-recorded introductions in the small hours.

Despite having left the station at the end of 2009, they returned to Glasto for three afternoon shows in 2010 and I've included the handover they did with Jarvis on the Sunday.

The 2011 Glasto shows marked the end of their brief return to the station, which began in April as Joe's first feature was being released.

I've put a playlist here of the edited shows (not the podcasts) in chronological order. The music (sadly), news and trails have been removed to better appease the copywright peeps.



In 2009 we had a wonky webcam giving us occasional still shots but in 2010 and 2011 they had moving images, much to the angst of our squadron leaders.




Some more 2010 snips can be found here, here and here.





Oh, all right then - here's a golden oldie

6Music has made a little Zavid trail video

★♂ ZAAAAYVIIID! That @AdamBuxton's delightful @DavidBowieReal doc from 2013 will air on Sunday at 1pm https://t.co/H1Tm94d7jN #DavidBowie pic.twitter.com/1Buq3nlpHS

As David Bowie's 70th birthday approaches, it inevitably brings the anniversary of his death too.

6Music have gone batshit crazy with their coverage including some odd scheduling of Adam's 2 hour documentary.

They've split it in two and will air part two in the middle of the night, with part one the following lunch time,(Sunday, 8th January) which works perfectly with the iPlayer

The Illustrated Adam Buxton Podcast Ep 11

Illustration from Sally Grosart, once again and what a miracle it is.

The Illustrated Adam Buxton Podcast Ep 10

Adam revisited his conversation with Louis Theroux for the final pod in this series.

He's been playing around with his compression settings which is a risky thing to do at this time of year but you can read more about that on Adam's blog.

Fingers are firmly crossed in hopes of a pod (or two) with Joe on or around Christmas Day.

Thanks, once again to Sally Grosart's art.....


and here's the pod.

The Illustrated Adam Buxton Podcast Ep9

Adam's getting very good at blogging Sally's picture himself but I've started so I'll finish.






and the pod itself

The Illustrated Adam Buxton Podcast Ep 8

Another wonderful pod has flobbed into the web and Sally has illustrated the heck out of it.

The Illustrated Adam Buxton Podcast Ep 7

Here Sally goes!



Adam's blogpost is here.
Subscribing and downloading details are on a previous post on Adam's blog.

This should be the download nubbin - Right Click/Save or Control/Save

The Illustrated Adam Buxton Podcast - Ep 6

Sally's done it again.



Adam has blogged and The Guardian has written.

The Adam Buxton Podcast - Ep 5

I've got a bit of a problem this week. My main purpose in making these posts is to marry up  Sally Grosart's wonderful illustration with Adam's podcast but that has hitherto been dependent upon embedding the Soundcloud version which has not been forthcoming with this episode.*

So in the meantime, as you've probable noticed in your iTunes/Acast feed, the pod is here and the illustration is, well, here.



You can subscrbe in iTunes here. Rob Brydon's website is here.

*Hang on a minute - thanks to Adam's blogpost, I now know how to embed the little player

The Adam Buxton Podcast - Ep 4

Each week gives us more to love and share.

I don't know how Sally makes these illustrations so quickly but I am so happy that she does.



 If you love swearing, you're going to adore this.


As promissed, Adam made a new Bond theme which plays at the end of the podcast. He has kindly made a great bit, super quality WAV file for us to download too.

and somebody only went and put it on YouTube with some pictures.

The Adam Buxton Podcast - Ep 3

Hopefully, everyone has subscribed and whatevs so that no warning in needed about Adam's weekly pod by now.

I shall continue to make a blogpage for as long as Sally Grosart continues to illustrate the pod.



Adam's Blogpage.

The Adam Buxton Podcast - Ep 2

This might be previous of me but if two podcasts, a week apart are anything to go by, it looks like Adam's going to do a proper series of these glorious outbursts.

Once again, and at lightening speed, Sally Grosart has illustrated it. There's an added bonus with this episode in so far as Adam has uploaded his Lianne La Havas video too. Here's Adam's blogpost.

The Adam Buxton Podcast - Ep 1

I know I'm really behind with my other blog but what can you do?

You don't need me to tell you that Adam has begun a series of his own podcasts but you DO need me to let you know every time Sally Grosart illustrates it.



Here's Adam's blog.

Adam Drops Some Serious Info Bombs on Tom Dunne

I've been quiety sitting on this interview for a couple of weeks now.  Adam talked to Tom Dunne in Dublin town via the telephone last week (it's a new thing that looks like an electrical bone. It's amazing and it's the future*). It was in advance of his show at the Vodaphone Comedy Festival, which is happening tonight in a sold-out kind of way.

Adam revealed so many bits of information, both personal and careerical that I expected the interwebs to go nutzoid.

I don't know if you've noticed, but as I approach my sixth decade, I have pulled my socks up, sobered up and generally tried to calm down about things that my two favourite idiotholes do. I thought I'd sit back and let the rest of the web go bonkers so that I could gently retweet the reverie of others. I retweeted the link on the day but ..................

........WHERE ARE YOU, BLACK SQUADRON?  I have enough search thingumies in place still, to know that no such reverie was forthcoming.  I have to assume that this elite sleeper cell has completely dozed off, never more to be distrubed. WHERE ARE YOUR TOAST BRACELETS?

Perhaps some eggs have gone in ears instead of mouths and they're just not able to hear podcasts. Maybe the demise of the Adam and Joe Podcast has put them off ever listening to neatly compacted chitty-chat ever again but you'll have to trust me on this. Start listening to podcasts again and make this your first choice. It's gentle. It's less than a quarter of an hour long and it is packed with stuff.

I have not been able to see a download button on the site so I have cheekily and without malicious intent, sucked the thing out of the machine and put it somewhere for posterity, however you can listen on the NewsTalk FM website here.





Probably a bit late with this but lookie here.

I'll be giving away tix to various shows over the weekend. First up, Adam Buxton+Joe List 7.30 Thurs Retweet to enter pic.twitter.com/u7EIqCcYQX

Countdown to Christmas with Adam and Joe Nostalgia: Jesus Day

This was the last show they did together so I've saved until the day of days. Stop plucking that bird and listen till your ears dribble. The catch in Adam's voice still wobbles me.

Countdown to Christmas with Adam and Joe Nostalgia Day Seven (Adam and Edith)

In 2012, Adam teamed up with Edith Bowman for a short series of shows leading up to the festive season. This show features the extra bit when Adam had to cover for the lateness of Liz Kershaw who was stranded on a train. I've saved Christmas 2009 until the day of all festive days.

Countdown to Christmas with Adam and Joe Nostalgia Day Six

If I'm honest, I started posting these shows a little prematurely. There weren't eight proper Christmas shows, so here's a full show (including music etc) aired on 31st Dec 2011 giving the best bits of their brief return earlier that year.

Countdown to Christmas with Adam and Joe Nostalgia Day Five

2008 was an exciting year for The Adam and Joe Radio Show featuring Joe with his shivery tingles and the amazing Video Wars. Garth Jennings covered for Joe's malingering and Video Wars was won by the delightful Chris Salt. At the end of the year (only not really because this is a pre-record) both Garth and Chris came back into the studio for the betweenies show. It also included Craig, the lovely Amber Gambler. It's a joyous show.
