61. Beth Morrey

Crushed by Margaret Cabourn-Smith

We cover some absolute classic crushes in this episode. Not just the horror that is the made up boyfriend (we've all done it, right? Just me?) but the strange allure of a good, albeit dead and murderous, vampire. I think that one is more widespread than people let on. And I know that one definitely isn't just me, as today's guest Beth Morrey shares it. Aside - completely blown away to discover that the actor who played Spike in Buffy the Vampire Slayer (aka James Marsters) isn't actually British. That has blown my mind. Excellent accent work, Mr Marsters.

Beth is a novelist and her third novel, Lucky Day, is out now. We had so much fun chatting, so I hope you enjoy the ep.

As ever, if you hate ads and love supporting podcasts, Substack is the place to go.

We are about to announce a new live date in the Autumn, so keep your eyes on our socials if that's the sort of thing you might be into. (Spoiler: it's in London).

And finally - I would really love to hear your crush stories, so if you've got a cracker you'd like to share, you can email me at [e-mail]. Or, send us a voice note. That's very podcasty isn't it.

That's it for this week.

Lots of love,

Margaret xxx
