Crushed by Margaret Cabourn-Smith

Ahhhhh yeah - a new episode of Crushed by Margaret Cabourn-Smith; the podcast where funny people discuss unrequited love. In this episode, I talk to fantastic comedian, director and podcaster STUART LAWS - do check out his utterly hilarious special STUART LAWS: THREE WAY which is on YouTube and also James Acaster: Cinemagoers Welcome, which Stuart directed and it is just so excellent.   Stuart’s brain is a real adventure and I hugely enjoyed our chat. Never before has a first kiss been compared to 9/11.     Do please email us on [email protected], where you can send us your most embarrassing/funniest/saddest crush stories.

Happy new podcast! It's another episode of Crushed by Margaret Cabourn-Smith; the podcast where funny people spill all their stuff about unrequited love.    Today's episode is with the utterly hilarious actor and stand-up SAMMY DOBSON. I loved Sammy's attitude of playing Fantasy Men in the same way other people play Fantasy Football. This chat was a right old meeting of minds and I felt fired up listening back - funny and fun and only really a tiny bit mad. Reminded me why I started this whole project. What I'm saying is she's the bloody best and I want to make her my friend, so we can further discuss being retroactively drawn to Elton John's thighs.   Do please email us on [email protected], where you can send us your most embarrassing/funniest/saddest crush stories.

Ahhhh look, another episode of Crushed by Margaret Cabourn-Smith; the podcast where funny people spill all their stuff about unrequited love.   This one features the absolute life-loving beacon that is jacked and furious KYLA COBBLER. It was so hot when we recorded that Kyla was in her car and I did the whole thing sitting on a couple of ice packs. We talked about pulling leaves off trees/dropkicking babies, "meeting" boys in graveyards, becoming Italian, and going to yoga for a first date. Her new book is called HAPPY THANK YOU MORE PLEASE and is OUT NOW and you should all buy at least 50 copies each.   Do please email us your most embarrassing/funniest/saddest crush stories - ⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠ - as well as your biggest celebrity crushes so we can compile our league table where they battle it out; and the fox off of Disney's Robin Hood will win as ever.   Thanks for downloading and supporting us.
