The series 15 litany of legends continues with the man commonly known as Dr Buckles - yes, it's Adam Buxton! As you are all aware, Adam is a writer, comedian, massively successful podcast host, Bowie aficionado and the author of the bestselling memoir Ramble Book (with the sequel on its way - as you will hear). He's also responsible for You're Booked, as the podcast was 'inspired' by the Vinyl Justice segment of The Adam and Joe Show. We talked to him about Bowie book choices, trying to sleep with Edgar Allen Poe, funny books and saucy dreams involving June Whitfield. Find a full list of the books Adam mentioned at our Bookshop.org store.
