Crushed by Margaret Cabourn-Smith

• 74. Gemma Whelan

  Welcome to Crushed by Margaret Cabourn-Smith; the podcast about unrequited love.  Today's episode features wonderful actor, writer and reformed stand-up GEMMA WHELAN.  Gemma is a top tier guest - as she says, she over-talks. My kind of human. Absolutely eye-watering tales of penis-worrying on Game of Thrones, and fawning over Kevin McCloud on The One Show, as well as the sweetness of sending overly intense texts to the man she ended up marrying. Look out for her forthcoming film The Last Disturbance of Madeline Hynde which is written and directed by Kenneth Branagh which she stars in alongside Jodie Comer, Patricia Arquette and Michael Sheen. Thanks for downloading and supporting us. It feels like a community effort (like cleaning up after a riot) and I appreciate it. Come and find us...

On email, where you can send us anecdotes, adoration and arguments crushedbymcs@gmail. Who doesn't love post!? And if you want to do nothing but simply chuck me £4 to buy myself some sellotape and a copy of the Radio Times to make a collage, head for ko-fi.com/crushedbymcs Just out of interest: you can see me in Cheaters on BBCiPlayer currently but be warned it's very much not safe for work. ie: it's full of boobs. AND THE REST. If that's a bit much I pop up in Daddy Issues, Miranda and Motherland too... Thanks dolls.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  You've found Crushed by Margaret Cabourn-Smith; the podcast about unrequited love.  Brrrr, cold innit. I'm ashamed to say I'm wearing a heated gilet. Height of glamour.  Today's episode features glorious comic, writer and ABSURDIST (get it right) sensation JOHN-LUKE ROBERTS. You can hear us mucking about on his excellent and hilarious podcast Soundheap (available wherever blah blah blah).  Loved this chat - did you know if you have a crush on someone you have to write their name in a heart? It's like, the law. We also discuss the brutality of being dumped with the words "you're not as fun as I thought you were". Thanks for downloading and supporting us. You're my people.

  Happy New Year, Crushed-Os! My first guest for 2025 is the wonderful writer, comedian (and former awkward teenager) GRÁINNE MAGUIRE. We discussed loving strongly (but not wisely), how men who wear glasses are definitely more intelligent and sensitive than those who don't, and how everyone loves a bit of will-they-won't-they. As always, we're over on Substack for all your additional MCS needs. And please do tell your friends. And like. And subscribe. Every click of validation is a lovely little lift, and we all enjoy those. lots of love MCS xx https://crushedbymcs.substack.com/ https://www.grainnemaguire.co.uk/ Learn more about your ad choices.

  This week I'm honoured to be joined by the multitalented powerhouse that is Caroline O'Donoghue! Host of wonder-podcast Sentimental Garbage and author of The Rachel Incident and Promising Young Women, I loved chatting all things crush with her, and look out for the bit that our recording platform's autogenerated programme notes referred to as 'using Wayne's World as a model for healthy relationship dynamics'. As ever, I'm over on Substack if you'd like to come and pay me a visit over there - https://crushedbymcs.substack.com/ And Happy Christmas! Love you lots. MCS. xx Learn more about your ad choices.
