Revisiting

This week, we're remembering the privileges of being top of the school, like tea and biscuits at break time, and staking your claim for a particular corner of the common room. We're also reading aloud our Personal Statements, and marvelling at the flowery language and grandiose statements that we thought would impress UCAS and the universities.

In the second half of our chat with London Hughes, things are getting juicy. London tells us about auditioning for Big Brother three times, how she got fired from her presenting job at Babestation, and the big one – losing her virginity in front of a well known Saturday night show.

On Berkhamsted Revisits this week, Laura K meets comedian and presenter London Hughes.

This week, with a holiday to Barcelona ruined on the last night, we're discussing our first experiences of drugs - from looking after friends who've gone too far, to how our school tried to teach us about them in PSHE. We're also discussing sexting, and sharing our opinions on dick-pics... ahem To get in touch with questions, comments, or if you kept a teenage diary you’d like to share with us, email us: show@berkhamstedrevisited.com.

In the first episode of Season 4, we're reminiscing about work experience, and finding out that being a ‘proper adult’ in an office isn't all it's cracked up to be. Now that we've popped our cherries, it's time to get a bit more experimental with lingerie, so we're discussing buying bras from Ann Summers, and considering drastic measures to get bigger boobs...

In this week’s episode of Berkhamsted Revisits, we’re talking to Capital FM presenter and former Berkhamstedian, Roman Kemp. Son of Martin, music was a huge part of his childhood - resulting in an obsession with both Slipknot and 50 Cent in the space of just two years. He now presents the biggest show on radio and even has Justin Bieber on speed dial.  But was he always this cool...?

In the final episode of the season, we’re discussing our first experiences of fancy restaurants, from being confused by an artichoke, to mispronouncing Rioja.

In this week's episode of Berkhamsted Revisits, we’re talking to actor Louisa Lytton. Despite joining Eastenders before she'd even taken her GCSEs, Louisa's experiences of growing up had all the makings of a normal teenagehood - hanging out on the estate, ranking friends and crushes in her diary, and getting suspended from school for chewing gum. She also talks to us about her time on Strictly Come Dancing, including one particularly memorable night spent with some very famous friends...  To get in touch with questions, comments, or if you kept a teenage diary you’d like to share with us, email us: show@berkhamstedrevisited.com.

After a brief hiatus from Berkhamsted, we're back to school this week, or at least we're trying to get there through all the snow. We're also discussing our earliest memories of contraception, from the humble pill to a particularly traumatic experience with the coil. Finally, it's crunch time in the race to be the next Head Girl of Berkhamsted, and Laura K is optimistic about her chances.

After last week's episode about losing our v plates, we received so many emails that we simply had to spend another week talking about this major milestone of teenagehood. That's why in this week's episode, we're taking a temporary pause from hearing about Winger and life in Berkhamsted, to discuss the eight things we wished we'd learnt before having sex, as inspired by our listeners. From buying condoms in vending machines, to sneaking in a cheeky session before a GCSE exam, these are your stories about losing your virginity.

We're leaving the dramas of Berkhamsted and Bromley and making some new friends instead.  In the first of our Berkhamsted Revisits specials, we’re talking to Jack Dean, or as he’s more commonly known, YouTuber JaackMaate. We discuss growing up in Norwich and on the internet – building Habbo Hotel empires from your bedroom but breaking down if a girl speaks to you IRL.

This week, we're discussing one of the major teenage milestones: having sex for the first time. Laura Gallop gives us a lesson in the various 'bases', some more intimate than others, and we get to grips with condoms, just. This is the episode we have been dreading the most – one of us cried, one of us was terrified of bed sperm, and one of us had the motto “if you’ve touched that, you’re not touching me.”  To get in touch with questions, comments, or if you kept a teenage diary you’d like to share with us, email us: show@berkhamstedrevisited.com.

This week, things are getting very serious indeed with Winger, so we're discussing the perils of meeting the parents for the first time. We're also remembering those blissful first few weeks of a relationship, and the ridiculous things we did to impress during The Honeymoon Period. Finally, it's the start of 2009 and with it comes new challenges, like learning how to drive, and deciding what to do with old bouquets of flowers.

This week, we're off to Wales for Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award, battling snow storms and employing creative ways of staying warm. We're also discussing our favourite urban myths, and the lies our parents used to tell us to protect our innocence. Finally, with Laura K still agonising over her feelings for Winger, we're debating why it's so hard to tell someone how you feel, and whether it gets easier with age.  To get in touch with questions, comments, or if you kept a teenage diary you’d like to share with us, email us: show@berkhamstedrevisited.com We’re also on Twitter and Instagram: @berkorevisited ***Please take the time to rate and review us on iTunes or your preferred podcast provider.
