Teenage Time Capsule
When 25-year-old Frankie rediscovered her teenage diaries, her first thought wasn’t, ‘I should share these with my younger brother!’. But, here we are. Frankie and Joe are siblings from Yorkshire and while they might be close, they’re total opposites. Each episode, Frankie will be reading entries from her brutally cringe teenage diaries (spanning 2008-2012), while Joe... rips his sister to shreds. Naturally. As well as diary extracts, the pair will be reading some anonymous teen stories from people of all ages. So, be prepared for raging hormones, boy drama, some serious nostalgia, and quite frankly, far too much detail for siblings to be going into with one another. Will this ruin their relationship? You’ll have to listen to find out! Follow us on Instagram and TikTok: @teenagetimecapsule | Email us: teenagetimecapsule@gmail.com | Artwork by Tess Pilgrim
