Ahhhh look, another episode of Crushed by Margaret Cabourn-Smith; the podcast where funny people spill all their stuff about unrequited love.
This one features the absolute life-loving beacon that is jacked and furious KYLA COBBLER.
It was so hot when we recorded that Kyla was in her car and I did the whole thing sitting on a couple of ice packs. We talked about pulling leaves off trees/dropkicking babies, “meeting” boys in graveyards, becoming Italian, and going to yoga for a first date.
Her new book is called HAPPY THANK YOU MORE PLEASE and is OUT NOW and you should all buy at least 50 copies each.
Do please email us your most embarrassing/funniest/saddest crush stories – crushedbymcs@gmail.com – as well as your biggest celebrity crushes so we can compile our league table where they battle it out; and the fox off of Disney’s Robin Hood will win as ever.
