Revisiting

This week, Laura K has somehow managed to swindle an invite to her first 18th birthday party, so we're discussing our favourite party memories, some more pleasant than others. Back at school, we're joining the co-ed vs single sex debate, and remembering what it was like having boys in the classroom. Finally, we're looking back on our education with a critical eye, reminiscing on all those important things we memorised at school but have never used, and imagining the more useful things we wish we'd been taught.

This week, we’re remembering that glorious back-to-school feeling, and the joy of buying new uniform and new stationery. As we enter sixth form, we’re also discussing how much we’ve changed since senior school - bidding farewell to girly silliness and hello to womanly sophistication.  Finally, with Laura K attending her brother’s wedding in Edinburgh, we’re sharing our thoughts on marriage, including rings, hashtags, and an ill-advised black wedding dress.   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.

First up, we’re discussing the perils of hair removal, from stealing our dads’ razors to putting hair removal cream on our cheeks. Laura K is agonizing over confusing feelings towards a new boy, so we’re debating whether it’s normal to fancy friends of the opposite gender. And finally, after a dramatic party on the last day of summer holidays, we’re discussing the best way to break up with someone and sharing our experiences of ghosting.  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.

First up, with GCSEs out the way, one of us is celebrating at Reading Festival, so we're discussing tent politics and the allure of spending three days without a shower. We're also reminiscing about our very first proper dates, including trips to trendy restaurants and the London Eye.  And finally, we're off to Nice, where Laura K is practising her flirting far more than her French.

After 6 weeks of summer spent necking Strongbow in Newquay, it’s GCSE results day. Time to see whether those 150,000 Post-it notes were worth it. At Berkhamsted Revisited, we wondered if our twenty-something maturity and insight would allow us to, naturally, ace the exams we angsted over in our teens. So we sat a GCSE Biology paper, and... well, you can find out how we did in our Results Day Special.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

A bumper episode containing our favourite moments of Season 2 – remembering sex education, snogging Basshunter, and Muck Up Day! Join us on Thursday 23rd August 2018 for our Results Day Special and see you the following Monday, back to school for Season 3! xoxo  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It’s the last episode of the season, and time to bid a fond farewell to Year 11... First up, we’re discussing Muck Up Day, as those pesky school rules threaten to get in the way of our fun. With GCSEs over, all we want to do is let our hair down and celebrate the end of 6 weeks of exams, but teenage party politics are causing havoc with our plans. Finally, we’re reflecting on our 16 year old selves, and how much we’ve changed since the dark days of 2005 back in Season 1.

There’s drama in Berkhamsted this week, with potential heartbreak on the horizon… First up, it’s a charity ballroom dancing event at Berkhamsted School, so we’re remembering our best and worst moves. We’re also finding out if Laura K’s drunken kiss on The Ski Trip will get back to her boyfriend, as well as discussing the ethics of going through your SO’s phone.. Finally, we’re reading the grand gestures you’ve made to your crushes, featuring far too much Hero by Enrique Iglesias, and a CD burnt for a very specific purpose… 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 time to rate and review us on iTunes, or wherever you get your pods.

This week, is love in the air, or is it just the usual cocktail of uncontrollable pubescent hormones? First up, as Laura K gushes about her first boyfriend, we’re wondering whether our teenage selves actually knew what love was. We’re also discussing the rumour mill, and delving into the pressures of not only losing our virginity, but telling our friends all the gory details. And finally, we’re heading to Italy on the Berkhamsted Ski Trip, spending minimal time skiing, and maximum time drinking the strongest spirits we could lay our hands on.

2007 is nearly over, and if the first week of 2008 is anything to go by, it's going to be a dramatic year. First up, we're talking about our first kiss, something which came naturally to Laura G but left Laura K a bit confused about the technique. It's also time for a week’s worth of GCSE mocks, but with all the Ben and Celia drama happening in the background, we're mainly discussing the politics of two friends fancying the same guy.. And finally, we're reading out your celebrity encounters, as well as sharing our own memories of a certain Swedish singer.

The Christmas Party season is upon us, and if we’re grown up enough to have WKDs... it's time to face the consequences. First up, we’re reminiscing about our first hangovers, from feeling slightly queasy, to emergency trips to McDonalds with our parents. It’s also two years since Laura K obsessed over Freddie Flintoff, so we’re reflecting on our biggest secrets. Finally, it’s time for a Christmas Party at the Kirk household, complete with a living room dance floor, and drunk parents doing the conga.

We’re feeling grown up this week, as we plan for life beyond Year 11 and paint the town red on a Friday night. Firstly, it’s time for a girls night out, so we’re hitting up Berkhamsted’s newest Indian restaurant which is rumoured to be fairly relaxed when it comes to checking IDs. Back at school, we’re busy trying to choose our A Level subjects without being swayed by the attractiveness of the teacher, or whether any fit boys might also be taking the subject.  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 time to rate and review us on iTunes, or wherever you get your pods. It means a great deal to the show and will make it easier for other potential listeners to find us. Thanks!***  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

First up, we’re discussing fashion. Although we’ve grown out of rara skirts and studded belts, our 2007 wardrobe inspired by Kate Moss for Topshop, is still rightly cringeworthy... Then it’s half term and Laura K is off to Egypt for a family holiday. Pam Kirk becomes wingman, but not before the classic family airport row. Finally, it’s another party at Elzzzzy’s house. Two years on and Laura K still isn’t sure about going… 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 time to rate and review us on iTunes, or wherever you get your pods.

This week, we're facing up to some painful truths about our behaviour, like extreme competitiveness and telling white lies to our friends..  First things first, we find out whether Laura K will have her moment of glory in the House Music Competition. It's also half term in October 2007, and we're off to Belgium on a history trip, swigging our first energy drinks and planning the best souvenirs to bring home to our parents.  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 time to rate and review us on iTunes, or wherever you get your pods.

MySpace is out, Facebook is in – it’s all change in October 2007. First on the agenda this week is sex education, and we’re reminiscing about a memorable assembly featuring Powerpoint, diagrams, and cartoon animations. We’re also cringing about our first Hotmail email addresses and remembering a day trip to Brighton - several thousand photos were uploaded to Facebook that day, but none of them of Laura K...
