My Mum's Bad Diaries
You're invited to eavesdrop as a mother reads out her teenage diaries to her daughter. Funny, candid, poignant and brave, this podcast is both living memoir and an investigation into what makes (and breaks) a woman. No scripts, no prep; just 40-year-old (diary) gold being unearthed. Even Jenny doesn't know what's going to come up as she lays bare her inner teen world to her daughter Lilika. Their motto is 'we go there', so what could possibly go wrong?

Pots v pints (Vol.5, 1983)

In 1983, Victorian pubs didn't have pint glasses, it was just a glass or a pot. Who knew? Not me.
This is part 2 of the previous recording, where Mum just carries on reading her diary from 1983. It's her first Friday at home for more than 3 months and I'm kinda impressed. Though her reading is funny: she toggles between Sex Pistols books and Jill's pony series. Cute.
Simon seems to have vanished off the face of the earth and we think mum maybe sent another letter, and she worries in the diary that she's 'scared him off'. But not to worry, there a Triple Ska night at the Ballrooms, and a 'fight' between Skins and Mods versus Yobs at the Scene Club. And if that wasn't enough: No Nonsense are going on Hey Hey It's Saturday, a show with an ostrich puppet that mum insists wasn't for children. I don't get it.
