Summary

We’re turning our feed over to one of our favorite podcasts: Podcrushed. Every week, hosts Penn Badgley (acclaimed actor from Netflix’s YOU), Nava Kavelin, and Sophie Ansari interview artists, authors, and experts to explore the tender, turbulent world of middle school, and relive the canon events of adolescence that shaped them.

From first crushes and heartbreaks, to family dynamics and identity formation, Podcrushed brings equal parts levity and gravity to every conversation, with guests like Ariana Grande, Matthew McConaughey, Jenna Ortega…and, as you’ve no doubt guessed from the title of this episode, Eddie Redmayne, the Oscar-winning actor whose Podcrushed episode we’re dropping into your feed today.

Oscar-winning actor Eddie Redmayne takes a break from gracing the stage (and the soundstage) to bring his characteristic charm and kindness to the pod. He recalls early memories from growing up as the artsy one in a family full of athletes, and talks about his early days as a young theater actor in London, in awe of the bright lights and buzzy energy.

0:36.5	And the tickets cost sort of 60 quits. So there was a massive loss-making experience for everyone.

0:53.5	I'm Nava. And I'm Sophie. And I think we would have been your middle school besties.
0:57.5	Writing letters of love upon a scratch, parchment paper scratching within ink quilt. No, is this not? This isn't resonating.
1:07.0	Scratching. That's perfect.
1:10.6	Welcome, welcome to Pod Crushed. I have a question just to kick us off. Why not? Are you resting or making me money?
1:18.5	Wait, who someone else said that? Are you resting? Or are you making me money? Or Sophie, how about you?
1:24.9	I've never heard this question, but I've also never rested.
1:28.4	Suspicious.
1:29.6	Although I can confirm.
1:30.7	Never rested.
1:31.3	Navas never rested.
