Add as many hyphens and hustles as you wish to that resumé, because Adam is someone who covers so many bases it's refreshingly hard to pin him down. But surely a TON of you will know and love him from his rightfully popular podcast, and some of the old skoolers (ish - not THAT old) among you will love the Adam & Joe Show. So much has happened in between though, and it's lovely to hear him in the guest position especially when it comes to life, death and movies. And of course, Zavid. So much to enjoy with this ramblechat, with tangents galore and a perfect balance of all moods. You'll love it, and be sure to check the links below for further Buckles enjoyment.
