"Buxton's audiobooks tend to do extremely well, in part due to the author's chatty, self-deprecating style that is fun on the page yet transmits more effectively in audio. His vocal delivery is warm, whimsical and underpinned by a gentle melancholy. But key to their success is the way that Buxton approaches them less as a straightforward narration than a fully fledged sound project, using similar features to those on his pod, The Adam Buxton Podcast."
"I Love You, Byeee is the follow up in which he remembers his late mother, Valerie, and reflects on his TV career which began with him landing a job at Takeover TV, a showcase for new talent on Channel 4, where he brought in his childhood friend Joe Cornish. Fans of The Adam and Joe Show will find reminiscences about the pair's toy movies, where they recreated films such as Titanic and Trainspotting, and their radio shows on XFM and 6Music."
Adam Buxton remembers his late mother, Valerie, and traces his TV and radio career from Takeover TV to The Adam and Joe Show and stations XFM and 6Music. He recounts toy-movie recreations of Titanic and Trainspotting and reflects on the strain in his professional partnership with childhood friend Joe Cornish, including feelings of insecurity when Cornish directed Attack the Block without him. Buxton's audiobooks succeed because of a chatty, self-deprecating tone and a warm, whimsical vocal delivery underpinned by gentle melancholy. Buxton treats audiobooks as sound projects, incorporating songs, jingles and podcast-style features. I Love You, Byeee includes a cut Bowie essay and a candid conversation with Cornish.
