My Mum's Bad Diaries

Jenny Ackland and Lilika Maywww.mymumsbaddiaries.com

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?

And Dramione is specifically a genre of fan fiction that has proliferated online and which we talk about in this side chat. + Follow us on Insta @mumsbaddiaries and thanks for listening!
