Hello and welcome to a very special, special Empire podcast featuring a member of podcast

royalty in the form of the one and only Adam Buckston. Best known for his phenomenally

popular BBC 6 music radio show with Attack the Block Director Joe Cornish, as well as his

late night channel for TV show from about ten years ago, he's now hosting his own Sky

Atlantic TV series called Bug. Centering around the world's best music videos and the insane

YouTube comments beneath them, it's utterly wonderfully mad and well worth hunting down.

Just so you know, the first ten minutes of this interview can also be heard on this week's

main podcast, but the rest is 100% original, solid, gold, brand new, Dr. Buckles. Enjoy!

Welcome to the pub with one Mr. Adam Buckston, it's a pleasure to have you, sir.

Hey, how you doing? Nice to be here. I love rooms and microphones, so this for me,

it's like a kind of amazing holiday. It's surrounded by microphones and mum, it's amazing.

We've got four, we've got an extra microphone and just for you. And if there's one thing I love

more than rooms and microphones, it's guys. And there's, there's four counting me, four guys

in this microphone room. So this, folks, is one of the best days of my life. We may never leave.

When was the last time you were in a recording studio, radio type, rub of men?

Oh, man, it must have been this morning. I was talking to Sean Keveney on Six Music,

and it was nice to be back, nice to be back at Six Music. The nation's favorite digital

channel playing great alternatives of music all the time. I miss it there, you know,

haven't been me and Joe, did our last Six Music show in summer of 2011. And since then,

that's been it for me and radio, and I really miss it. Has Bug been a decent enough

salve for your pain? Oh, man, it's a salve that does all kinds of salve jobs. It's good for

pain. It's good for sexual tension. It's good for all kinds of things. It can help marriages.
