Welcome to the very first episode of Teen Talk UK – Unfiltered, the podcast by actual teens, for actual teens.
In this introductory episode, you get to meet Gracie, Logan, and Dallas, three teens 13-15-year-olds from Stoke-on-Trent who decided to stop staying quiet. They talk about who they are, why they started this podcast, and what is coming up in future episodes. Plus, they answer each other's questions in a getting-to-know-you session that goes places nobody expected.
In this episode:
- Gracie and Logan introduce themselves and explain what Teen Talk UK – Unfiltered is all about
- Why they both wanted to create a space where young people feel heard and less alone
- The funniest stories they could find, including a goldfish that did not survive childhood, Dallas being dragged across a garden by a dog, and a school fart noise incident that got very unfairly blamed
- Roller coaster chaos at Alton Towers, a Wicker Man queue disaster, and what happens when you slide down an icy bank in a skirt in front of your entire year
- Their happiest memories, first holidays, Disneyland, and baby sheep in a Welsh field
- The real reason they made this podcast, and what they hope it does for you
The reason behind it all
Teen Talk UK – Unfiltered is not just about laughs. Gracie, Logan, and Dallas open up about why this podcast matters to them personally. Without going into detail just yet, Gracie shares that she has been through experiences she wants others to be able to find their way out of — and that helping even one person would make everything worth it. Logan talks about watching people struggle in silence and wanting to show them that speaking up is possible, and that they will be heard.
Future episodes will go deeper. For now, know this: this podcast is a safe space. No judgement. No filters. Just honest conversations from people who actually get it.
'There's always light at the end of the tunnel.' — Logan
'You can do whatever you try to do.' — Gracie
