Summary
Forty-five episodes from Series 1-8 of the Sony Award-winning BBC Radio comedy show, hosted by Rufus Hound.
In this hilarious and revealing show, host Rufus Hound invites his guests to revisit their formative years by dusting off their intimate teenage diaries and reading them out in public for the very first time. From terrible poetry, musings on pop music and cringeworthy crushes, to fond recollections of schooldays and exotic holidays, to poignant and searingly honest confessions, these extracts reveal the secret thoughts, feelings and experiences of a host of well-known celebrities – before they became famous.
Among the contributors are Richard Herring, Shappi Khorsandi, Sheila Hancock, Meera Syal, Arabella Weir, Robert Webb, Caitlin Moran, Ken Livingstone, Terry Wogan, Alex Horne, Lionel Shriver, Michael Rosen, Ian Rankin, Debbie McGee and John Finnemore.
As they delve into the past and reflect on their youth, will they be filled with nostalgia, or embarrassment? What would they say to their younger selves? And what song will they choose to sum up their teenage years? Find out all this – and a lot more besides – in these surprising, insightful and hugely entertaining shows.

Episodically interesting and entertaining
Good value with 45 episodes. Some really entertaining and genuinely unexpectedly interesting. A few episodes are really uninspiring but overall I enjoyed.

Good but not great Radio 4 comedy.
One to enjoy in the car but not going to change your lfe other than making you think idly of keeping a diary.

Teenage musings - loved this
Absolutely loved this.
A read through of many well known ‘celebrities’ teenage diary’s. Funny, poignant, sad, angst ridden, embarrassing and eye opening.
You can see how many of the well known readers were on the path to their chosen career; Robert Peston, Chris Packham, Robert Webb, Lionel Shriver, John Finnemore and many more. Their career path starts to become clear from listening to their diary readings.
If you want a light, easy and fun listen this is for you.

Hilarious
Extremely funny, tender and revealing about the celebrities who share their teenage diaries. Rufus Hound is unexpectedly kind and gently teases but it feels like the embarrassing revelations are in safe hands and there is never ever any humiliation. One of my favourite Audible purchases

Love this show!
So interesting! Love this programme, fascinating the different lives people lead and where they end up.
The only frustrating part is that you can’t see who’s chapter is who’s, so I got a bit lost when I fell asleep one night!
