Hello Adam Bucksdon here. If you're listening to this podcast for the first time,

0:06.4

welcome. Thanks so much for giving it a try. You may not want to hear the long version of my intro

0:14.4

and instead get straight to my conversation with Tom Hanks. If that's the case, then skip forward

0:22.0

9 minutes. I added one more podcast to the giant podcast bin. Now you have

0:29.5

plugged that podcast out and started listening. I took my microphone and found some human folk.

0:37.6

Then I recorded all the noises while we spoke. My name is Adam Bucksdon. I'm a man.

0:46.9

I want you to enjoy this. That's the plan.

Hey, how you doing podcasts? Adam Bucksdon here reporting to you from a big pile of garden

1:19.1

clippings and old bits of wood. Last year's Christmas tree is here and at some point there will be

1:30.6

the annual bonfire and we'll burn effigies of Marvel characters that we're bored of and dance

1:38.4

around naked and sing and laugh. I don't know exactly when it'll happen. When it gets warmer,

1:45.2

but I just added to the pile. Don't tell my wife, my wife. I just added an old wicker chair

2:18.8

the wicker chair, the ancient wicker chair, which no one ever sits in. Even if you were able to repair,

2:26.4

it wouldn't even be worth it really. It's not even a nice one. It's not like a fancy

2:31.6

it's an old crap wicker chair. Yes, repairing things, good, definitely repair things. Don't just

2:39.3

toss things away if you can avoid it, but this chair will never be repaired. So I've popped it on

2:45.8

the bonfire pile and I've hidden it with some branches. So if she were to say, oh my god, what's

2:54.4

happened to the wicker chair? I can say, oh I know where it is. I'll get it. Just you stay here.

3:00.8

But obviously I'm hoping that's not going to happen and I don't think it will. How are you doing
