EP.242 - RICHARD AYOADE
Adam and Richard Ayoade in London, March 20th, 2025
Adam talks with British writer, director, actor and comedian Richard Ayoade about David Lynch, whether it was easy inventing the compete works of the fictional director and playwright Harauld Hughes, what Richard thought of David Letterman's enthusiasm for him and his work, the weirdness of interviews, the art of putting yourself down, why Orson Welles hated Woody Allen, and why Mick Jones of The Clash made Richard cry.
Conversation recorded face-to-face in London on March 20th, 2025
