    100. Dolly Interviews MCS

    Welcome to the 100th BLOODY EPISODE of Crushed by Margaret Cabourn-Smith; the number one* podcast about unrequited love.    Today's episode features the glorious Crushed first guest, legendary writer and reformed podcaster DOLLY ALDERTON interviewing me about crushes. It was a dream come true.   Thanks for downloading and supporting us. You're my people. I hope you'll allow me to feel pretty chuffed that we've got this far without breaking.   Come and find us...  On ⁠⁠email⁠⁠, where you can send us anecdotes, adoration and arguments. Please send us favourite moments from the podcast as well as your celebrity crushes. Drop us a 5 star review on the podcast app...   On ⁠⁠Substack⁠⁠ where if you subscribe, you’ll have access to the podcast ad-free and exclusive blogs as well as a lot of gushy love from me.   On ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠ which is a hotchpotch of personal and work related content but the place I'm most at home on the socials these days.    And if you want to do nothing but simply chuck me £4 to buy myself some sellotape and a copy of the Radio Times to make a collage, head for ko-fi.com/crushedbymcs   As ever thank you to my producer Laura who is both fun and reliable which is an awesome combo.   And here is the brilliant Joni Mitchell quote I mentioned about the beauty of long-term relationships: I recently read an article in Esquire magazine called ‘The End of Sex,’ that said something that struck me as very true. It said: “If you want endless repetition, see a lot of different people. If you want infinite variety, stay with one.” What happens when you date is you run all your best moves and tell all your best stories — and in a way, that routine is a method for falling in love with yourself over and over. You can’t do that with a longtime mate because he knows all that old material. With a long relationship, things die then are rekindled, and that shared process of rebirth deepens the love. It’s hard work, though, and a lot of people run at the first sign of trouble. You’re with this person, and suddenly you look like an asshole to them or they look like an asshole to you — it’s unpleasant, but if you can get through it you get closer and you learn a way of loving that’s different from the neurotic love enshrined in movies. It’s warmer and has more padding to it.   *Entirely unverified but it feels true. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
