About this listen

Welcome to Growing Up Up North, the podcast created and produced by two mates from the North of England! Each week, we dive into a new topic that captures the essence of growing up in the 90s and teenage life in the early 00s. Join us as we reminisce about the way life was when you had to rank your friends on MySpace and MSN was the Tiktok of it's time! Growing Up Up North is a fun trip down memory lane, perfect for young millennials wanting to reflect on the past, while also offering a charming insight for the younger generation into what life was truly like before smartphones took over!Jack and Kelly Social Sciences

    This week, we’re diving headfirst into the wild world of childhood and teenage rumours – from the downright ridiculous to the strangely believable. Remember that story about the kid from the Frosties advert? Or the dark tale involving a girl and a bag of Skittles? Yeah… we went there.

    We’re also back with Letters from the Listeners, reading out some hilarious stories involving millennial teenagers, alcohol, and questionable decisions.

  • "Send us tha' on blue tooth!" - Music!
    May 11 2025

    This week on Growing Up Up North, we’re chatting all things music – from the songs we grew up with to the tunes our parents had on repeat. We reminisce about chart hits, school disco anthems, and dive into a game of Mint or Naff? where we rate some unforgettable (and sometimes unforgivable) tracks from the '90s and early '00s.
