Athena Kugblenu
Remember MN8? Oh, you will...
My guest this week is the easily embarrassed Athena Kugblenu, talking about her teen crushes. We dredge our memories for long forgotten 90s boy bands, ponder when an older man is too old and decide whether our allegiance was to George Clooney or Goran Višnjić in the great E.R. Crush Wars of 1999.
It's a fantastic episode - not least because Athena seems genuinely embarrassed, and that's always very funny.
You can hear more of her in BBC Sounds' DMs are Open which is out now.
And more of us next week (or dip into the back catalogue if you haven't for a while!?)
As always, you can find us (ad free) on Substack, if that floats your boat. For a little less than $5 a month you can support the show, and stop hearing ads. Or head to wherever you get your podcasts for the free show, and some ads. It's all good!
If you like the show do rate and review it - it's the cheapest way to show your love. Hey, it’s January, cheap is good.
We have more FANTASTIC guests coming up in the next few weeks. Sneaky peek here on Substack soon.
Lots of crushy love,
Margaret xxx
