28: Angela Barnes

Crushed by Margaret Cabourn-Smith

Hot off the presses - it's Margaret's conversation with Angela Barnes earlier this week.

Angela shares some of Margaret's worst crush excesses. Beardy nerds? Check. Comedians from the 1990s? Oh yes.

Angela's crushes include Kenny Everett (note for anyone born after 1979 - he was a very funny, very gay, very rude primetime ITV family entertainer. The 80s was a different time). George Michael gets a mention, as do John Lennon, and a man who once pissed her off so badly she filled his bed with Frosties while he was on a date with someone else.

It's a crushed-packed 55 minutes, that's what we're saying.

Don't forget to come and join the cult Substack - we post about one thing a week, so you won't be bombarded, and it gives us another way of keeping in touch if Twitter ends up in the bin. It's looking quite likely isn't it?

Quick reminder of our live gig at Machynlleth on 30th April 2023 - we would love to see you there. We got some badges made, and if that won't persuade you to make the journey to North Wales, I don't know what will. Our guest Eleanor Morton, maybe? She's great, and we're very excited about finding out what her crush history is like.

That's all the admin for this week.

Til next time,

Team Crushed xx
