    There Is Only One Direction with Sarr Barrett
    Feb 17 2026
    The second episode of The Crush-Cast: Season Two is now out! This week's guest is my younger cousin, Sarr Barrett. I held her as a baby! And as a dutiful member of Gen Z, her obsession with famed boy band One Direction is truly one for the storybooks. Digressions include meet-ups at Seven-Eleven, Harry Styles' braids, a late-night adventure to Raising Cane's, and finding your cat and your person in the same week. Season 2 will continue to drop every Tuesday on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Feel free to follow the show, and share with friends!

    Foolish Wisdom with Amy Higgins
    Feb 10 2026

    Welcome back to the Crush-Cast! This week's guest is Amy Higgins, who also happens to be my mother. Together we learn that when it comes to crushes, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Digressions include Speed Racer's scarf, a dramatic game of Bombardament, a heartfelt poem, and taking wonderful, foolish risks in the name of love. A big thank you to Amy for being the inaugural guest of Season Two and for giving me life! Our music is by Kevin MacLeod, and the Crush-Cast is hosted and edited by me, Clare Higgins. Please subscribe for new episodes every Tuesday wherever you get your podcasts. <3
