### THE PODCAST: Crushed by Margaret Cabourn-Smith

In this new series, podcaster and actor Margaret Cabourn-Smith talks about unrequited love in all its intense and embarrassing glory. Expect to hear from guests like comedians Sara Pascoe and Lucy Porter, writer and actor Isy Suttie and writer Dolly Alderton. Don’t miss the episode featuring broadcaster Deborah Frances White (behind *The Guilty Feminist* podcast) who talks to Margaret about ignoring the hottest guy in her class to gaze at her music teacher.

### THE FILM: The Princess

This documentary tells Princess Diana’s story in her own words through archive videos and interviews. The relationship between Diana and Charles has been well documented, from their seemingly fairy-tale marriage, to the fractured marriage that followed and Diana’s tragic and untimely death. *The Princess* reframes her story, drawing solely from audio and video footage from the time to take audiences back to these era-defining events as they happened and, in doing so, allows the narrative to unfold as if it were in the present.

*Out Sunday 14th August*
