    Hello here's your FIVE STAR Crushed by Margaret Cabourn-Smith; the podcast where I grill funny people about unrequited love. Today's episode features hilarious actor and writer JOE TRACINI. This was a super funny, honest chat and you're all going to fall in love with him. Do seek out his fantastic book Ten Things I Hate About Me. It’s a brilliant account of his history with BPD - a gut punch of a story, delivered in a charming and honest way. Thanks for downloading and supporting us. You're my people. If you can up your devotion and give us a five star rating I'll be able to sense it when I see you, and will give you a hug (Or complicated salute if hugging's not your thing). Come and find us...

    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 Thanks for downloading and supporting us (me).
