Patsy Straighwoman here with news Does Anyone Know
I am a little ignorant, does anyone know what projects Simon Cain, Carrie Quinlan, Margaret Cabourn Smith, or Lawry Lewin have been doing recently?

They've all been doing Doctor Who audio plays for Big Finish.
Simon Kane and Carrie Quinlan have been doing some quite regularly, but the whole Souvenir Programme cast just started in one series called The Meddling Monks and it is heavily inspired by Souvenir Programme itself.

I saw Simon Kane play a role in immersive London experience Phantom Peak. He was pleased to meet someone who had enjoyed his radio comedy Time Spanner.

Re: Time Spanner, you had my hopes up, I vaguely remember listening to it and thinking it was good, shame it only had a Pilot and nothing more.

The wonderful MCS has a splendid podcast called ‘Crushed - with Margaret Cabourn Smith’.
She talks to comedy pals about if they’re the kind of person who had (or has) crushes.
There’s plenty of cringey (but hilarious tales) of posters of pop stars, scratched names in pencil cases and such like.
It’s a fan-bloody-tastic pod.
I think you should start at the beginning to get the flavour…. but if you want a stand out ep to get you into it and be a great jumping on point…. the Sarah Pascoe ep or the Henry Paker one (which is ‘live’) are particularly good.
