In Crushed, Margaret Cabourn-Smith chats to funny people to celebrate crushes and unrequited loves in all their intense and embarrassing glory…
What’s been the game-changer moment for you?
knew I’d hit a nerve when out of the blue in the same week I was approached for an interview by the independent, and the brilliant writer and journalist Nell Frizzell wrote a column inspired by it. It’s an exciting thing when you feel like you’ve created something that people want to join in with.
What does the next 12 months hold?
We’re doing live shows at the London Podcast Festival in September and a crossover show with the Guilty Feminist at the Soho Theatre in August. Also I really want to do some merch. I’m a big fan of niche merch (is that weird?).
Why did you move Auddy?
It has a properly supportive indie boutique vibe, not to mention the opportunities for cross promotion were really appealing. Twiggy? Yes please

The second podcast in the spotlight this issue was a show from Annabel Rivkin and Emilie McMeekan of The Midult…
How would you describe your show in 5 words?
The glamour and indignity of being grown-up – that’s six sorry.
What’s been the game-changer moment for you?
Lockdown; we found ourselves on opposite sides of the country, so we just used our Zoom and our phones and started recording all the unfiltered weirdness in our heads. We really got to know our audience, and they really got to know us.
What episodes should we watch out for? Why?
There’s a corker coming up with Anna Richardson (host of Naked Attraction and the host of it Can’t Just Be Me podcast) about bodies, attraction and of course, Ozempic
What does the next 12 months hold?
We have just launched a five-minute-ish podshot called Podcast from the Edge that goes out every Friday and we’re working on something for telly.

Auddy have been champions of the show for a while, so it felt natural that they would be our new home.

Sally Phillips (shared stories of our brilliant autistic boys) & the Rev Richard Coles (mutual love of sausage dogs & I loved the Communards back in the day!)

Well 50+ more podcast episodes, of course, and apart from that: touring, TV and radio, a book and… I’m the face of something I’m not allowed to talk about yet. Stay tuned!
Why did you move Auddy?
They got it! They got me! A tailored, bespoke approach where they actually give a sh*t about the content and its creators.

In Shedunnit, Caroline Crampton is unravelling the mysteries behind classic detective stories…
How would you describe your show?
Shedunnit is a documentary-style podcast that unravels the mysteries behind classic crime fiction from the “golden age” of detective fiction. Using the novels of writers like Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers as a starting point, I look at the literary and social history that shaped this genre, as well as the real-life cases that inspired it.
What’s been the game-changer moment for you?
When I had Lucy Worley as a guest to talk about Agatha Christie in autumn 2022 – she brought a whole new kind of history-obsessed fan to the show.
What episodes should we watch out for? Why?
I find that the more specific an episode topic is, the more people enjoy it, so in the next few months there are going to be instalments about the role that golf has played in detective fiction, the way that New Zealand writer Ngaio Marsh used the theatre as a setting for whodunnits, and a look at the 1935 trial of Alma Rattenbury, which has inspired lots of crime writers in the last 90-odd years.
Why have you moved to Auddy?
I’m a completely independent podcaster, working out of the walk-in wardrobe off my bedroom, so I don’t have the tools or connections to able to compete for sponsorships with shows from big publishing outfits. The team at Auddy do have all of that expertise, though, and they are able to use it on my behalf.
What are you listening to right now?
I really enjoy the show If Books Could Kill, which is all about debunking those “airport bestseller” non fiction books that everybody apart from me seems to have read.
Speaking of books… Simon Mayo’s Books of the Year was the second podcast in the spotlight this issue. Let’s hand it over to the hosts Simon Mayo and Matt Williams!
How would you describe your show?
It’s a podcast about books.
What’s been the game-changer moment for you?
Never had a game-changing moment but being back in the studio, as opposed to the spare bedroom, was a lovely thing.
What episodes should we watch out for? Why?
*producer note – “Well, they’re ALL good, but international bestseller Harlan Coben is always good value.
What does the next 12 months hold?
Unparalleled success and triumphs are expected.
Why have you moved to Auddy?
They said they’d provide luxury biscuits.
What are you listening to right now?
HBO’s The Last of Us podcast is wonderful, and The News Agents is an essential listen.
