Hi all, this week's show features someone I have known for more than 20 years - writer and performer Barunka O'Shaughnessy, as I think you'll be able to tell from the level of giggling. Barunka has a list of credits as long as your arm, including Motherland, Up the Women and Hunderby. But by the end of this episode you'll know her best as a woman with a fine set of childhood crushes - including indie goth legend Robert Smith. Hope you enjoy it. We'll be back the other side of Christmas with a chat with Kerry Howard about her crushes. We met up a couple of weeks ago, and it was absolutely bonkers, so I'm looking forward to sharing that! If you're subscribing on Substack, there will be a festive Christmas Day episode for subscribers in which Julia Raeside and I do the maths for pretty much everyone in Love Actually. I wanted to find a way to say a BIG thank you for supporting the show this year. I really, truly, appreciate it. And you! So, dip in and find that if you're on Substack. And if not - see you on the other side of the turkey. Lots of love and Christmas hugs, Margaret xx Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Actor Rufus Jones (writer and co-star of Channel 4's Home) has hardly answered the BobPhone before he confesses that, despite his Cambridge English degree, “Dylan still scares the hell out of me”. But he's relieved that “Bob's entering a 'jolly grandpa' phase. He seems less concerned with preserving the myth”.Rufus references Beyoncé, the Eagles (“the story of the Eagles is better than the sound of the Eagles”), T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, Hieronymus Bosch and Christopher Ricks before moving on, via Desolation Row, to the enigma that is Murder Most Foul (“it reads like bad poetry but sings like good poetry”).In an episode recorded before the release of Rough And Rowdy Ways, theories are promulgated, lines dissected and numerology explored. Murder Most Foul is “a confounding song. He takes a piece of real life and spins it into something abstract and horrific.” Join us for a dark but enlightening day in Dallas.Rufus Jones began his career as part of the sketch comedy group Dutch Elm Conservatoire. In the West End, he appeared in the hit comedy Dead Funny. His acclaimed TV series Home was nominated for a BAFTA. Other television work includes three series as David Wilkes in W1A, Four Lives, Flack, Loaded, Stag, Fresh Meat, Trying Again, The Casual Vacancy, Bob Servant, Hunderby and Holy Flying Circus (as Terry Jones).

Karen Kilgariff, Keith Powell, Katy Brand and Gareth Gwynn join host, Dave Holmes for a c-bomb littered riot of secret spilling and Gwyneth dissing, comedy quizzing. Note: The UK team weren't able to take part in the secret spilling part – apparently calling the show International Waters doesn't offer the level of protection from English laws that one might have hoped. Karen Kilgariff wants to plug her podcasts Do You Need A Ride and My Favorite Murder as well as her recent appearance in Zach Galifianakis' new show, Baskets and recommends Julia Davies' TV show Hunderby. Keith Powell wants to plug his web series Keith Broke His Leg and recommends Jeff Nichol's new movie Midnight Special. Katy Brand wants to plug her novel, Brenda Monk is Funny and her up-coming Edinburgh Fringe show, I Was A Teenage Christian. Katy recommends Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney's TV show, Catastrophe. Gareth Gwynn wants to plug his TV show Bull and recommends former IW guest, Ben Partridge's new MaxFun podcast, Beef and Dairy Network. And finally, Dave Holmes is on Twitter @DaveHolmes and hosts his live quiz show, The Friday Forty at LA’s Meltdown Theatre on the second Friday of every month. Dave would like to recommend Chris Gethard's new podcast Beautiful Anonymous. You can let us know what you think of International Waters and suggest guests through our Facebook group or on Twitter. Written by Sarah Morgan and Asterios Kokkinos, recorded at MaxFunHQ in LA and GuiltFreePost in London, produced by Jennifer Marmor and Colin Anderson.
