Welcome to Crushed by Margaret Cabourn-Smith; the podcast about unrequited love.
Today’s episode features my old mucker, fantastic writer-performer FROG STONE. She’s the writer of the smash Finnish hit TV show L/Over and is currently wowing us all in Emmerdale. Unlikely bedfellows but that’s the broad talent that is Frog. Not ALL of this chat is Julie Andrews based – we also get to hear some teen poetry about a milkwoman in Preston in the 1990s.
Come to see me interview HARRIET KEMSLEY at machfest on the 2nd May at noon https://machcomedyfest.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/shows/873682678
