    I find out mum's not as good a student as I always thought...

    Join us in October 1980 as we change the format a little and mum reads her bad diaries to me. It's definitely a different experience having her share them in her voice, it feels more natural and less like I'm sneaking into her room to read her diaries!

    We read about the mechanical bull at The Sentimental Bloke and chat about period anxiety and encounter some low-key racial profiling which just highlights how much attitudes have changed (thankfully!).

    As always, listen to experience: cringe, giggles and some real-life shit.
