| 0:00.0 | Hello, Adam Buxton here. Just before you hear some very entertaining adverts that I've made for you, |
| 0:05.6 | I hope you won't mind if I encourage you to make a donation to what I consider to be a great |
| 0:10.8 | organisation. Medicines Saint Frontier or Doctors Without Borders, a global team of medical volunteers |
| 0:18.0 | providing help in conflict and disaster zones, and that includes Gaza, |
| 0:22.8 | where the scenes of suffering just seem to intensify as time passes. |
| 0:27.5 | One thing that makes me feel slightly less powerless when confronted with those scenes, |
| 0:32.7 | is donating to MSF, who rely completely on private donations to fund their work. If you're interested in hearing |
| 0:39.2 | a personal perspective on the work done by Med Sinsault Frontier, listen to episode 210 of this podcast, |
| 0:46.3 | which I did with one of their amazing doctors, Javid Abdelmoname. And if you're able to, it would be great |
| 0:52.7 | if you made a donation to MSF via the special |
| 0:55.9 | podcat link that they have set up. It's in the description of the most recent episode of this |
| 1:00.9 | podcast. So while we wait and hope for a ceasefire in Gaza, MSF can at least continue to help |
| 1:08.0 | provide some practical help there and in so many other places around the |
| 1:11.8 | world where people are suffering badly. Thank you. All right. Now it's advert time. |
| 1:19.7 | Hey, how are you doing podcasts? It's Adam Buxton here. Sorry for the cold open. There's no regular opening theme this week because it's a live |
| 1:30.8 | podcast episode. This is another one from last year's tour, recorded in May 24, in front of a sold-out |
| 1:40.1 | crowd at the Theatre Royal in York. And featuring Friends of the podcast, British actor, |
| 1:46.6 | comedian writer Jessica Knappett, and British Ugandan musician Dowdy Matsiko, |
| 1:53.0 | with whom I performed a live, fokey version of the intro theme. |
| 1:57.6 | So let's travel back in time and hear that beginning section before I rejoin you |
| 2:02.6 | from this quite wet and windy Norfolk farm track in late July 2025. When I'll tell you a bit more |
| 2:10.6 | about the podcast and say more of a proper hello. But first, back to York 2024 and my tediously inevitable Jules Holland impression. |
