The Adam Buxton Podcast

Adam talks with English singer, songwriter, book writer and co-founder of seminal 90s shoegaze band Lush, Miki Berenyi about private school shame, Miki's unconventional and at times troubling upbringing, meeting her pop idols as a young fan in 1980s London, the excesses of life on the road with the 1992 Lollapalooza tour and there's audio evidence of a young Miki attending a show by a legendary Indie band just a year after they had formed.This episode includes references to child abuse, including sexual, physical and psychological abuse, which some may find distressing. Should you have any concerns about a child, you can contact the NSPCC’s Helpline on help@nspcc.org.uk or on 0808 800 5000, where dedicated child protection specialists will be able to help.The NSPCC’s website also has advice and resources for adults supporting children, and children can contact Childline any time on 0800 1111 or by chat on the website.This conversation was recorded face-to-face in London on October 26th, 2023Thanks to Séa
