Adam talk to English writer Jesse Armstrong about his comedy influences, why he's happy to leave the 4th wall unbroken, whether Peep Show was realistic, the challenges involved with writing Succession, separating the art from artist, audiences laughing in the wrong way, whether satire does more harm than good and other hot waffle. This conversation was recorded face to face in London on March 29th, 2023 Thanks to Séamus Murphy-Mitchell for production support and conversation editing.
