Crushed by Margaret Cabourn-Smith

Happy New Term!

Pour yourself a cup of conkers and get your ears round a new episode of Crushed by Margaret Cabourn-Smith; the podcast where funny people spill all their stuff about unrequited love.



In this ep I talk to the fabulously funny, uniquely bohemian dreamboat comic JOANNA NEARY who you can currently see on the iPlayer in How Are You? It's Alan (Partridge). She's an absolute character comedy legend and if she tours near you: GO.

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.

It's the last Edinburgh special! Crushed by Margaret Cabourn-Smith; the podcast where funny people spill all their stuff about unrequited love.



I'm a massive fan of this week's guest fantastic comic and Twitch
sensation BILAL ZAFAR and loved our chat about herd mentality, grown-up dates, accidentally stumbling upon a smoother version of yourself. Oh and waking up not feeling hungry because you can't stop thinking about someone's face...

If you're in Edinburgh you should definitely check his show out:

Bilal Zafar: Rubicon

Venue: Underbelly Bristo Square, Jersey | Weds 5th to Sun 30th August @ 8.30pm
