Hey you - it's Crushed by Margaret Cabourn-Smith; the podcast about unrequited love.  This episode I interview brilliant writer, speaker and activist LAURA BATES. Laura is a ludicrously impressive and articulate human and SO FUN despite the fact that her work is generally super serious. Do check out her books, especially the most recent THE NEW AGE OF SEXISM which is a terrifying account of how AI is affecting our lives when it comes to misogyny. I'm not saying it's a fun read but it's absolutely, profoundly important and gripping. Thanks for downloading and supporting the podcast. If you can bear to go and tap out a 5 star review for us, that'd be dreamy.

Welcome along to Crushed by Margaret Cabourn-Smith; the podcast about unrequited love.  This episode I talk to awesome writer and speaker POORNA BELL.  I'm a big fan of hers and have been trying to track her down for a couple of years since I was too shy (I know) to approach her at Crushed alumnus Dolly Alderton's book launch. My persistence paid off and I loved talking to her and getting an advance copy of her excellent new novel This Is Fine which is out now and highly recommended. I love that instead of doing a reading from that, she read from her teenage diary. Thanks for downloading and supporting us.

Welcome to Crushed by Margaret Cabourn-Smith; the podcast about unrequited love.  This SPECIAL THIRD ANNIVERSARY episode features my inimitable sisters, Carol Cabourn-Smith and Beth Sines (nee Cabourn-Smith). Not to be too sentimental but the truth is they are incredibly important to me and I think this episode illustrates our closeness. It's funny talking to people I know so well, neither of whom do any performing but are naturally honest and hugely entertaining. I hope it all makes sense! It's a slice of life (only without the booze that usually occurs in family get-togethers. Probably for the best). Thanks for downloading and supporting.

Welcome to Crushed by Margaret Cabourn-Smith; the podcast about unrequited love.  Today's episode features wonderful actor, writer and reformed stand-up GEMMA WHELAN.  Gemma is a top tier guest - as she says, she over-talks. My kind of human. Absolutely eye-watering tales of penis-worrying on Game of Thrones, and fawning over Kevin McCloud on The One Show, as well as the sweetness of sending overly intense texts to the man she ended up marrying. Look out for her forthcoming film The Last Disturbance of Madeline Hynde which is written and directed by Kenneth Branagh which she stars in alongside Jodie Comer, Patricia Arquette and Michael Sheen.

Happy New Year, Crushed-Os! My first guest for 2025 is the wonderful writer, comedian (and former awkward teenager) GRÁINNE MAGUIRE. We discussed loving strongly (but not wisely), how men who wear glasses are definitely more intelligent and sensitive than those who don't, and how everyone loves a bit of will-they-won't-they. As always, we're over on Substack for all your additional MCS needs. And please do tell your friends. And like. And subscribe.
