Introducing: How to Date
About this podcast
Welcome to Origins, the show where the biggest names in entertainment tell Cush Jumbo the stories that made them who they are today.
Why Origins? Even the most successful people had to start somewhere, and Cush wants to know where that place is. Her guests are all stars: famous in fashion, television, film, theatre and literature, and most importantly they’ve all got a story to tell.
Celebrity guests reveal the experiences that have defined them: from the innocence of childhood, the drama of adolescence, to the challenges they face today.
With Cush's background as an acclaimed actress (The Good Wife, The Good Fight, Criminal Record), she offers listeners an intimate look at the formative years of the world’s most renowned personalities.
