Oh look, it's Crushed by Margaret Cabourn-Smith; the podcast about unrequited love. 

Today's episode features the brilliantly talented Hollie McNish. BUY HOLLIE'S BOOK VIRGIN!!! It's just so good. Beautiful and moving and angry and funny. We totally lucked out getting Hollie. She's an awesome poet just oozing empathy and warmth and has a totally unique take on crushes. So there.

Just out of interest: I'm appearing in Sherlock Holmes and the 12 Days of Christmas with former guests Humphrey Ker and David Reed at the Birmingham Rep over Christmas 2025. When I was a kid they'd have announcements like that over the closing credits of comedy programmes sometimes. I'd love to bring that back.

Big thanks to Mighty Bunny in general and Laura Grimshaw specifically. I love them all.
