35: Nish Kumar

Crushed by Margaret Cabourn-Smith

Hello my fabulous Crushing friends!

New logo, new platform (hello Auddy!) and new episode....

This week is awesome Nish Kumar who talks me through a whole lot of romantic failure and nerdy fantasy. There’s also some good gossip about comic Ed Gamble, which is especially good as Ed refuses to do the show. He joins a list of people who find the sheer EMBARRASSMENT of the topic too much. It’s interesting - comics tend to lean one way or the other (the other being a desperation to unburden themselves).

Nish was brilliantly honest and funny and also introduced me to the internet theory that Ferris Bueller is in fact, Cameron’s Tyler Durdenesque fantasy come to life which makes a lot of sense. Cameron was a big early crush of mine. I’ve still never had an underwater kiss. And Alan Ruck who played him, has become Connor in Succession who is a FAR less appealing snog (although, Cousin Greg? Would. Sorry).

Don’t forget to book for the 15th September, London Podcast Festival! We’ve had some AMAZING guests confirm. Don’t miss out…
