Best of 2023

Squeaking in just before it's officially 2024.

Hi Crushos,

Just squeezing into your inboxes in January, it's our Best Bits of 2023. It was such a blast listening back to the interviews we've had over the last year. I ended up listening to much more than I intended to. And I wish I could have included more clips, but these were some of my favourites, from the not-too-recent past.

We have Alison Spittle, explaining the huge part Morrissey played in her early Crush-life (before he let us all down), Juliet Cowan sharing my passion for Union Leader Mick Lynch, via Rosie Jones talking about using stand up to help her talk about her sexuality honestly for the first time, and Sali Hughes and Caitlin Moran talking about the love that dare not speak its name (or could you have sexual feelings for a sash window?). And of course my favourite bit from the special anniversary episode with husband of the podcast, Dan Tetsell. A patient, patient, man.

Here for subscribers is the ad-free version of the show. (You can sign up for around $5 a month, if ads aren't your thing. Or keep on listening to the ads - Lord knows someone has to).

Thanks SO MUCH for listening in 2023. And please, keep listening in 2024. We've got some lovely episodes coming up including Lou Sanders, Elizabeth Day and Sarah Hadland in the next few weeks, and a special Valentine's Day episode with Isy Suttie for V-Day itself. So there’s lots and lots (and lots) to look forward to.

Stay tuned! (Can you tune a podcast?)

Love you!
