Adam talks with journalist, documentary presenter, podcaster and school friend, Louis Theroux.

This is an edited version of a conversation that took place in front of a live audience at London's Royal Festival Hall on 25th September, 2019.

I was there to interview Louis about his book, Gotta Get Theroux This, and as well as serious subjects like eating disorders and the abuses perpetrated by Michael Jackson, we covered lighter topics like the strange rumours about Louis circulated by the late sinister PR guru Max Clifford.

We also covered Theroux memes, Theroux tattoos, the secrets of Theroux's interviewing technique, and my concerns with how Louis described the teenage me in his book.

It's a hilarious, smart and infinitely relatable collection (except for the pooping thing).

Adam talks with British poet, writer and musician Benjamin Zephaniah.

PLEASE BE AWARE: During the first 10 minutes of our conversation Benjamin told me about some relatives suffering with the effects of COVID and included some details that may be upsetting to hear for people who have lost loved ones to the disease. So if you're worried, skip past those first ten minutes and you should be OK. It's not all pandemic chat though - mainly Benjamin describes fascinatingly how managed to make the transition from angry young criminal to internationally celebrated writer.
