Rapid-fire personal questions and astrology

Adam talks with Nigerian writer/performer Ayoade Bamgboye about winning the 2025 Best Newcomer award at the Edinburgh Fringe, what determines her accent switching, her conservative upbringing, subsequent radicalisation and why she no longer wants her audiences to feel bad. And at Castle Buckles, an unseasonably warm day brings creepy guests.

Conversation recorded face-to-face in London on 25 September 2025
