S9, Ep1 How to Fail: Adam Buxton
How To Fail With Elizabeth Day
The Importance of Privilege
Adam Buxton grew up in a family where you had to be very careful about how money was spent and any kind of waste was grotesque to him. He went to boarding school which were fairly high powered academically not his first boarding school out in the country so much but even there he realized like oh I'm not the cleverest guy in fact I'm one of the stupidest. When it got to A levels when you have to engage your analytical mind a little bit more he really struggled and ended up with quite a disastrous set of results. His second failure is about dropping out of Warwick University at age 21.
