It is our pleasure to welcome you to Crushed by Margaret
Cabourn-Smith - the podcast about unrequited love.

We're joined here by the wonderful and brilliantly talented comedian, presenter, artist and podcaster BEC HILL. She’s so funny and wise and also the proud owner of a life-sized cardboard cutout so she is very much our people.

If you want more Bec, you can also listen to the excellent podcast she does with the standup and mathematician Matt Parker - A Problem Squared is available from all good podcast shops.

And, if you’re quick and feeling festive, you can catch Bec alongside former Crushed guest John-Luke Roberts in his Geoffrey Chaucer’s Mediaeval Christmas Festivitye shows in early December 2025

Just out of interest: I'm appearing in Sherlock Holmes and the 12 Days of Christmas with former guests Humphrey Ker and David Reed at the Birmingham Rep over Christmas – well, from NOW until 18th
January 2026. When I was a kid they'd have announcements like that over the closing credits of comedy programmes sometimes. I'd love to bring that back.
