    KATE NASH - Catholic Guilt and My Relationship With My Sexuality
    Nov 5 2024
    Kate Nash rose to stardom with her smash hit Foundations and scene-stealing role in Glow... but there’s so much more to this artist than meets the eye. Cush dives into the challenges behind her success: her journey with OCD, a Catholic upbringing that shaped her, and her near death experience that needed a bit of "tinkering under the hood" to fix her dodgy ticker.

    PETER CAPALDI - From Glaswegian punk to Doctor Who
    Oct 29 2024
    This episode welcomes Dr Who himself (the 12th one) to talk about his formative memories and life experiences growing up. Cush and Peter Capaldi co-star in the hit crime drama, Criminal Record, so this is a great opportunity to take a look behind the scenes at their off-screen relationship. Peter talks about how his life would look very different if he hadn't been available to audition for The Thick of It (he played Malcom Tucker), and how he failed to get into drama school.

  • MICHELLE VISAGE - 'I was scared to death of sex'

    MICHELLE VISAGE - 'I was scared to death of sex'
    Oct 15 2024
    From adoption to Ru Paul’s drag race, via more than a few New York clubs, Michelle Visage has made herself a global queer icon. But Cush gets to know the woman behind the ‘Visage’ (a name she gave herself while voguing and party hopping in 80s NYC). Michelle really opens-up about her difficult childhood, beginning with adoption into a New Jersey family, an unusual relationship with her mother, sharing her experience of being bullied as a teen by the mean girls at school, and how she became ‘cool’ when she found her first boyfriend, all while being ‘terrified’ of sex. Michelle also takes us into the excitement of the underground vogue scene in New York, and how she found her chosen family. Oh, and she shares her secret for a happy marriage: you’ll have to listen to the end, her answer will surprise you. This truly is a woman who has lived a life, and she shares it all with you here on Origins with Cush Jumbo.

    MICHAEL KORS - I said no to Anna Wintour
    Oct 8 2024
    His name is a brand that's a household name: Michael Kors, the global fashion phenomenon, joins Cush in New York for this episode of Origins. He talks to Cush about his upbringing in Long Island New York, surrounded by women, as an only child where his birthdays were celebrated like a national holiday. He speaks about his start in Paris the same season that Marc Jacobs started at Louis Vitton, and Michael began his work at Celine. Cush surprises Michael with a voice note from the love of his life and they talk emotively about gay marriage and what it has meant to them.

    JULIANNA MARGULIES - I came from chaos before ER and The Good Wife
    Oct 1 2024
    Star of The Good Wife, and Cush's on-screen best friend, award-winning actress Julianna Margulies joins Cush to talk about her upbringing. Cush and Julianna reflect on their time filming The Good Wife, and Cush's nerve-wracking first day - where she was told by the director 'it will get better'. Julianna gives unique insight into her challenging, chaotic childhood, about falling in love as a teenager for the first time, and how, aged 25, she landed a huge role in ER (she starred in as Carol Hathaway throughout the 90s).

    Sep 24 2024
    Harlan Coben has sold over 80 million books, and 12 of his novels have been adapted for film and TV. How on earth does someone gain such success? Cush talks to Harlan about his childhood - growing up in 'Soprano's land' (aka Livingston, New Jersey) in the shadow of gangsters and a nuclear missile base; his real life love story of meeting his wife as a sophomore; and finally the death of his parents and the profound effect it had on him.

    David Schwimmer is an icon - a master of comedy, who we all feel we know insideout as Ross Geller. He appeared in 236 episodes of Friends, runs his own theatre company (for the last 36 years!), is a dad and also a great friend of Cush's.
