EP.281 - DYLAN MORAN
Adam and Dylan, London, 2026
Adam rambles with Irish standup comedian, writer, and actor Dylan Moran about why he hates facts, chronic pain, what it means to be a man of advanced middle age in the 2020s, how many gummies is too many, music and why he thinks our reliance on tech and online culture is fostering a false sense of urgency, constant judgment, and digital dementia. Plus Dylan plays one of his songs on the guitar even though he can't play the guitar.
Conversation recorded face-to-face in London on 18 September, 2026
Thanks to Diggory Waite and Claire Broughton at Hattrick and Séamus Murphy Mitchell for production support.

PLEASE SIGN THE PEOPLE'S EMERGENCY BRIEFING PETITION
“The UK faces growing risks from climate and nature breakdown – from extreme weather to economic disruption and national security threats. Yet the public has never been given a clear national briefing on the scale of these risks. Government should hold an emergency briefing from leading experts. These risks could have serious consequences across UK society, with threats to health and food supply – which could become irreversible without urgent action. Many people are unclear how these risks may affect them, and information in the public domain is often misleading. A credible national briefing from independent experts would give people clear, trusted guidance on what these risks mean in practice, and what we can do – both together and individually – to prepare and respond.” - Chris Packham.
