107. John Robins

Crushed by Margaret Cabourn-Smith; the podcast about unrequited love (WILD APPLAUSE HERE)   Today's episode features the phenomenal stand-up comic, podcaster, writer and marathon legend JOHN "INTENSE" ROBINS.   This interview is a proper gem - full of insight, laughs and compassion for John's younger self. You absolutely need to buy his book Thirst - and catch up with his podcasts How Do You Cope and Elis & John.   An appeal - we'd love you to email us your most embarrassing/funniest/saddest crush stories - ⁠[email protected]⁠  - 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.   Thanks for downloading and supporting us. You're my people. Give us five stars if you can.   Come and find crushedbymcs… On ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ where if you subscribe, you’ll have access to the podcast AD-FREE, exclusive content from me as well as a lot of gushy love from me.
