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.

Margaret Cabourn Smith is a podcaster and actress and mother to two children. She talks about how she found the first six months really, really hard and how she kept Bridget Christie and Lucy Montgomery's names written down to remind her that people had had children and managed to have a career in comedy. We talk about the contradiction of how any minute spent with your child is not a wasted minute but also that there's a lot of time to fill when you have a baby.#mcs #crushed #Margaret #Sixmonths #baby #mama #lifelessons #fog #delights

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.

As you probably know, earlier this year Sound Heap Inc. lost a lot of money by signing a 'golden handcuffs' deal with French President Emmanuel Macron.  This left the once-thriving Sound Heap Podcast Network with just one show: Rememberama, the podcast where people remember things. And now Sound Heap CEO and Fun Captain John-Luke Roberts has tried four other ways of dealing with this - denying it had happened, being angry at everyone, trying to cut a deal and just being sad, he's decided to accept what's going on. So please enjoy these clips from the show which would be Sound Heap's best podcast even if it wasn't Sound Heap's only podcast: Rememberama. This week you'll hear people remembering:Louis Theroux revealing that pokémon weren't realThe episode of Rainbow that made it clear that Zippy had an anusBanksy's latte artLondon 2012's controversial Olympic mascotThe McDonald's advert that... the advert which... ...What?Sound Heap was created and hosted by John-Luke Roberts, and featured Andy Barr, Margaret Cabourn Smith,  Saima Ferdows, Alice Fraser, Josh Gondelman, Derek Mitchell, Joz Norris, Ada Player, Marjolein Robertson, Piotr Sikora, Lorna Rose Treen and Bilal Zafar. The original music is by Paddy Gervers and Rob Sell at Torch & Compass, and the show was mixed by Rich Evans at Syncbox Post. It was produced and edited by Ed Morrish for Lead Mojo productions.

This week, it's back to service as usual - or, should we say, Sound Heap as usual! After being reduced to just one podcast, Rememberama (the podcast for people who like to remember things), because we lost a lot of money to Emmanuel Macron over the summer, Sound Heap CEO & Fun Captain John-Luke Roberts can now proudly present selections from our  back-to-normal-sized slate of podcasts!In this week's Sound Heap Taste Pod you'll be hearing clips from:Nostalgiarama: the podcast for people who like to be nostalgic about thingsPastarama: the podcast that isn't about pasta!and, for old time's sake,  a long clip from this week's episode of Rememberama!Sound Heap was created and hosted by John-Luke Roberts, and featured Andy Barr, Ruby Carr,  Margaret Cabourn Smith,  Saima Ferdows, Alice Fraser, Josh Gondelman, Gareth Gwynn,  Derek Mitchell, Joz Norris, Jonathan Oldfield, Marjolein Robertson, Esyllt Sears, Piotr Sikora, Lorna Rose Treen and Bilal Zafar.

You might remember Remberama as the only remaining podcast that Sound Heap have to offer, thanks to a series of financially ruinous decisions. But thanks to our new sponsor, our CEO and Fun Captain John-Luke Roberts can now present to you... two podcasts! So, while this episode mostly consists of clips from Rememberama, which has a lot of episodes and is - and we cannot stress this enough - very cheap, we are also delighted to share a full episode of our brand new podcast Quick Quoffee Questions. Enjoy - thanks to our new sponsor!In this week's Rememberama you'll be hearing people remember:When Kirsten Stewart dated GruThe most shocking Garfield EVERThe cinema seat revolution90s diet fads, such as the Ghost Diet and the Holes-Only DietHow Steven Spielberg ensured children would only want official Jurassic Park merchandise...and much, much more!  Again, thanks to our new sponsor.Sound Heap was created and hosted by John-Luke Roberts, and featured Andy Barr, Ruby Carr, Saima Ferdows, Josh Gondelman, Gareth Gwynn,  Derek Mitchell, Joz Norris, Jonathan Oldfield, Marjolein Robertson, Esyllt Sears, Piotr Sikora, Margaret Cabourn Smith and Lorna Rose Treen.

With extra finance apparently not forthcoming, despite multiple calls to venture capital funds, Sound Heap CEO and Fun Captain John-Luke Roberts brings you yet more highlights from Sound Heap's best and, still, only podcast: Rememberama, the podcast for people who like to remember things. This week you'll hear people remembering:When police sirens were replaced by pop songsThe world's most famous virginWhen children had to carve their own shoes out of leatherThe research that proved that slinkies could  feel painThangs that were cool in the '90sPogsAnd much, much more.  If you enjoy the show and are a benevolent billionaire who wants to fund more like it, please get in touch. Or even a malevolent billionaire - we're not fussy.Sound Heap was created and hosted by John-Luke Roberts, and featured Andy Barr, Margaret Cabourn-Smith, Saima Ferdows, Alice Fraser, Gareth Gwynn, Derek Mitchell, Joz Norris, Marjolein Robertson, Esyllt Sears and Bilal Zafar.

The Heapening continues, where we ask our listeners to support us by sending us money or anything else we can sell off or melt down.

A couple of months ago, we released a documentary by investigative Soosty, Soosty Carpripe, about a very brave woman called Emily Curnt, who met what she thought was someone on a dating app, who claimed he was playing Shrek in a touring production of the musical Shrek. But this was a lie: in fact, Emily Curnt was being ShrekFished. The reaction to this documentary was so overwhelming - not just from listeners who believed it to be one of the most award-worthy documentaries of recent years, but from other women who had suffered exactly the same fate.This programme, and its attendant awards submissions, is dedicated to the bravery of these women.Sound Heap was created and hosted by John-Luke Roberts, and featured Tom Bell, Margaret Cabourn-Smith, Josh Gondelman, Kieran Hodgson, Rosie Holt, Sooz Kempner, Anna Leong Brophy, Emily Lloyd-Saini, Hal Lublin, Sarah Morgan, Eleanor Morton, John Norris, Benjamin Partridge, David Reed, Marjolein Robertson, Isy Suttie and Lorna Rose Treen.

This week, Margaret Cabourn-Smith steps into the world of unrequited infatuation with the delightfully frank Anna Richardson, host of Channel 4's "Naked Attraction." Anna reveals her formative crushes and the candid tales behind them, from memorable encounters with Tom Cruise to playful - if unsuccessful - flirtations with Mick Hucknall and the alluring mystique of a certain hot priest. It'll have you reminiscing about your own past crushes, and maybe even blushing a little. Or a lot, when they get on to anuses. For more of Anna's candidness, be sure to check out her own podcast, "It Can't Just Be Me," available here. Anna's podcast promises to solve listeners big dilemmas - from sex and motherhood, to menopause and divorce.

Margaret Cabourn-Smith is making waves in the podcast world with her exploration of love in the warm and witty Crushed.

Comedy actor and podcaster Margaret Cabourn-Smith (Crushed, John Finnemore, Penny Dreadfuls) talks about the uplifting British comedy film Pride (2014) with its story of unlikely alliances and the power of unity, and the winner of an imaginary BAFTA for best White Writing At The End In A Motion Picture. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The lovely Sue Perkins joins Margaret Cabourn-Smith this week to talk about her crushes - from  high-kicking, back-flipping martial artists to wise-cracking Marion Ravenwood - Indiana Jones's brilliant love interest in Raiders of the Lost Ark.  It's a brilliant, funny and occasionally moving conversation - hope you love it as much as we do.  As always, do feel free to get in touch on Twitter and don't forget to follow us on Substack - @crushedbymcs or crushedbymcs.substack.com We love to hear from you!  Til next time, Team Crushed xx

Eleanor Morton talks cartoon crushes, actors who weren't problematic in the 80s but sure are now, and the Yeo Valley Yoghurt Boys with fellow crush addict Margaret Cabourn-Smith. We had an absolute blast in The Swallow Theatre at Machynlleth Comedy Festival.  We gained a beautiful embroidered logo from the lovely @purplestrawbs1 (follow her on Twitter for some gorgeous embroidered love of Taskmaster and Three Bean Salad); found a jar of pickle that went out of date three years ago; and gave a dog some merch.  r In fact we liked it so much we've just signed up to do another live show later in the year at the London Podcast Festival in September.  We will share a booking link when it's live. Margaret's Twitter woes continue - she's still locked out of her account, so do follow us on @crushedbymcs on Twitter, or give in to peer pressure and come and join the cult gang on Substack.  We have some great guests coming up in the next few weeks including Sue Perkins and Nish Kumar - so if you haven't already, hit the subscribe button and make sure you don't miss it.  Til next time!

As next week sees the 100th edition of Goon Pod drop, here's a special 100-minute long Easter bumper bonus episode! Tyler shares clips of some of the many guests he's hosted on the pod over the last hundred shows - the selection is designed to showcase how the show has developed and evolved and (in theory) can be enjoyed by anyone with even a passing knowledge of the Goons, as long as they like fifties, sixties and seventies (and eighties & nineties) popular culture and especially comedy. Typically they'll like the Beatles and have heard of Jimmy Clitheroe - that's the sort of person who listens to Goon Pod. So you'll hear from the likes of Al Murray, David Quantick, Mike McCartney, Griff Rhys Jones, Margaret Cabourn-Smith and Mike Fenton Stevens as well as many others PLUS some never-before-heard material! (This episode is better than an Easter egg because it's less fattening, won't stain the furniture and even your dog can enjoy it) Twitter: @goonshowpod

The dream team are BACK and what a way to start the new series, as Grainne and Chantal welcome host of the fantastic 'Crushed' podcast, Margaret Cabourn-Smith to the show!  And Margaret certainly doesn't disappoint when it comes to the couple she's brought to the table, the creators of Cool Britannia themselves, Patsy Kensit and Liam Gallagher. Although after hearing this, you might decide that they are definitely / maybe, not as cool as you might have thought back in 1995. Or perhaps it was a more innocent time, you decide. Management however will add the disclaimer that neither Patsy OR Liam were directly responsible for the invasion of any country...  It's GREAT to be back! X Learn more about your ad choices.

In a live episode recorded at Poplar Union, Rosie chats to comedians and podcasters Margaret Cabourn-Smith and Gráinne Maguire about unrequited love, how our early crushes set the template for our adult relationships, whether it's ok to fancy other people when you're in a relationship, marriage and how we escape being defined by it, nostalgia for celebrity couples that didn't stay together, Hugh Grant and Liz Hurley, beautiful people, conscious uncoupling, penis envy, sexy stick drawings and an unfortunate incident in Waitrose.    Recorded at Poplar Union on 23 February 2023.   You can now follow The Breakup Monologues on Instagram @breakupmonologues and buy The Breakup Monologues book from all good bookshops: https://linktr.ee/breakupmonologues   The Breakup Monologues will also be recording live episodes at Chapter Arts in Cardiff on 8 April: https://www.chapter.org/whats-on/performance/the-breakup-monologues/9100

Aka, Mr Margaret Cabourn-Smith. And Happy Birthday Crushed - it's a whole year since we released the first episode. It's a special birthday episode, with Margaret put on the spot by her husband, and guest, Dan Tetsell.  Dan is a writer and actor who you may have seen in everything from puppet-actor-fest Mongrels to hot-actor-fest Hollyoaks (and most recently Eastenders).  He's also Margaret's husband - and the man who has to live with her crushes on a day to day basis.  Is that hard?  He'll let us know. They talk about his crushes - from school to screen, and the Christmas Crushed Calendar he makes Margaret every year, featuring her latest pashes.  Which frankly should be merch (note to self, ask Dan how many can he make...) It's hard to believe it's been a whole year of Crushed. Thank YOU so much for listening, for supporting it, and to everyone who has left kind words on Twitter, reviews on podcasting apps or followed us on Instagram or subscribed to our bloody Substack - thank you, thank you, thank you.  Honestly - it makes us feel so happy to have you with us. We have lots of plans for the show this year.  Our first live date is on sale now here: https://machcomedyfest.co.uk/show/2023/margaret-cabourn-smith-crushed-by-margaret-cabourn-smith/ More to follow when we can book them in. Margaret's article looking back at the show is here: https://crushedbymcs.substack.com/p/one-year-on (Yes, it's on Substack, we're not obsessed it's just Twitter seems to be on fire at the moment, so we thought we'd better branch out).  We'd love to hear from you.  You can email us: crushedbymcs@gmail.com Or find us on Twitter or Insta @CrushedbyMCS Or sign up for the bloody Substack and then we can send you occasional emails to let you know about things like the live shows.  No pressure.  Til next time, Team Crushed xx

In this episode, Margaret Cabourn-Smith interviews comedian, and little legend Alison Spittle about her crushes and unrequited loves.  We don't want to say she picks badly, but Morrisey and Kanye West both get a mention. Listeners of a sensitive nature may like to know that there are frankly filthy discussions about Bob Hoskins's hairy back.  Listener discretion is advised. Find us on substack or email us: crushedbyMCS@gmail.com Check out Alison's tour dates here: https://linktr.ee/alisonspittle And her podcast here: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/wheel-of-misfortune/id1525520717 And we'll leave you with some more hot Bob Hoskins action - here's that clip Margaret and Alison were talking about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTgqHsJ4410&themeRefresh=1 see you next time!
