Welcome along to Crushed by Margaret Cabourn-Smith; the podcast about unrequited love.
This episode I talk to awesome writer and speaker POORNA BELL.
I’m a big fan of hers and have been trying to track her down for a couple of years since I was too shy (I know) to approach her at Crushed alumnus Dolly Alderton’s book launch. My persistence paid off and I loved talking to her and getting an advance copy of her excellent new novel This Is Fine which is out now and highly recommended. I love that instead of doing a reading from that, she read from her teenage diary.
Thanks for downloading and supporting us. If you can bear to go and tap out a 5 star review for us, that’d be dreamy.
