Revisiting show

Revisiting

Summary: Revisiting is the only podcast you'll ever need for nostalgia. We're talking pink Motorola Razrs, Windows XP and Smirnoff Ice, all topped off with a Von Dutch cap and spritzed with Glo by J-Lo. 20-somethings Laura Kirk and Laura Gallop have decided to mine their digital diaries – old text messages, Facebook statuses, and emails to Mum - in attempt to relive those halcyon days when life was all about whether you had enough money to buy that Paul's Boutique bag. Each week, the girls also explore a cultural phenomenon from down the generations as they spin the Wheel of Nostalgia. What's it going to land on next? Now CDs? Pizza Express? An analytical re-watch of Clueless? The possibilities are almost literally endless, and almost certainly embarrassing. Find out every week on Revisiting, podcasting's most hilarious trip down memory lane.@revisitingpod @laurakirk12@lauragallop

 Season 2, Episode 1: Camping, House Captains, and lunch room politics | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:24:41

It's the start of Season 2 and the start of a new school year, what could 2007 have in store for us? This week, we're investigating why Laura stopped writing the diary for 9 months. We're in Year 11 now, which means we're the big kids in town, but with great power comes great responsibility, like organising the House Music competition, and ensuring every Year 7 knew who was boss. And finally, we're reminiscing about the Duke of Edinburgh award - camping, trying to read a map, and for one of us, a weekly paper recycling job.

It's nearly the end of 2006, and with Year 10 in full flow, we're looking back at music in the mid-noughties, from watching it, to making it (badly)...

 Season 1, Episode 9: Tattoos, sibling rivalries, and Romeo and Juliet | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:29:53

It's the new school year, and we're feeling older but evidently not wiser at the start of Year 10! This week, it's the penultimate episode of the series and we're talking about our favourite days out - like family trips to Bluewater shopping centre, or making our parents drive us all the way to Alton Towers. Back at school, Laura K is facing one of her biggest challenges yet - going to school without any make up on - while Laura G is busy getting a couple of questionable tattoos.  Finally, we're discussing our love-hate relationships with our siblings, as Laura K finds herself forced to hang out with her brother on a school trip to Greece.  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’ve left Year 9 behind us and are reminiscing about Under 18s nights at local clubs, and sneaking into Tiger Tiger Croydon. When a modelling competition comes to town, Laura K can’t resist the allure of stardom and enters, with mixed fortunes.

With exams out the way for another year, there’s just a few days left of school before that glorious 10 week summer holiday… This week, we’re journeying back to a time before Netflix, when a Friday night staple was a trip to Blockbuster and begging your parents to let you have popcorn. Back at school, we’re discussing (and singing!) our favourite school hymns, and reminiscing about our most memorable school teachers.

We look back at school sports day, which was the perfect opportunity to both mingle with the boys and show-off some neat javelin-throwing skills. And we remember the first time we dabbled with fake tan, with considerably mixed success..

 Episode 1 coming 5th March! | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:00:53

In 2005 a 13 year old Laura Kirk started writing a diary, chronicling her life in a small town just north of London famed for a beautiful cinema and a 12th century castle built by William the Conquerer’s half-brother. Her adolescence in Berkhamsted was a fairly quiet life of school, boys, MSN usernames, sport, growing up awkwardly and using words like 'phwoar' and 'lush'. Laura kept a diary for six years, right up until she went to university. Now, along with her friend (unhelpfully, also called Laura), she's reading back over them and trying to make sense of the key issues - what exactly did ‘topping’ mean; why she was so anxious about going to parties with her friends; why did she make her family name their cat after a sixth former she fancied; and most importantly, why on earth was she so obsessed with England cricketer Andrew Flintoff? Berkhamsted Revisited is a romp back through those awkward teenage years, as seen through the eyes of two twenty-somethings. It's a must listen for anyone that grew up wondering what life was all about.…and how to build the funkiest MySpace profile.
