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 Substack at crushedbymcs; where if you subscribe, you’ll have access to the podcast ad-free and exclusive content from me as well as a lot of gushy love from me. It's not currently owned by a terrifying billionaire so that's a bonus.

On Instagram @crushedbymcs where you'll find heartfelt ramblings and sparkly outfits.

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.
