What happens when a parent unexpectedly walks into the studio… and sits at a mic?

In this slightly chaotic (and mildly traumatic for Lola) episode, the team plans to talk about stress and deadlines. until Lola’s dad, Dave, casually joins the recording. What follows is sarcasm, second-hand embarrassment, unexpected sweetness, and a surprisingly honest conversation about what it’s really like when parents and teens clash.

From “lively discussions” (aka arguments) to proud-parent moments that make you want the floor to swallow you whole, this episode explores what happens when you stop arguing long enough to actually listen.

It’s awkward. It’s funny. It’s unexpectedly heartwarming.

And yes… Lola survived. Just about.

🎙️ Featuring: Jamie, Ben, Lola, Ellie, Sam — and a very brave guest appearance from Dave.

(Note: Mia is off conquering school assignments this week.)

Because sometimes the most honest conversations happen when you least expect them.

In this episode of Teens Unmuted, the gang get real about teachers, school rules, and the stuff that properly winds you up. From smelly crisps in the studio and chewing gum debates, to feeling picked on by teachers and the mystery of “favourites”, nothing is off-limits.

Expect laughs, sibling banter, studio chaos, and some brutally honest takes on school life.

If you’ve ever felt judged for your “vibe” instead of your work, this one’s for you.

Episode 2: Nails, Nerves, and the Podcast About School

Homework overload. Teachers who definitely underestimate “twenty minutes.” Acrylic nails declared a threat to education. Welcome back to Teens Unmuted, where school stress meets sibling sarcasm and absolutely no one is on time.

In Episode 2, the microphones barely survive as Lola arrives late (again), blames a broken nail (a tragedy, apparently), and sparks a full-scale debate on homework, teachers, unrealistic expectations, and whether long nails are useful skills… or just dangerous weapons. From essay pile-ups and Spanish speeches to savage sibling banter and EastEnders confusion, this episode captures the chaos of teenage school life perfectly.

Funny, fast-paced, and painfully relatable, Teens Unmuted tackles school pressure, homework stress, family arguments, and teenage opinions, unfiltered and unapologetic. If you’ve ever argued about homework, rolled your eyes at a teacher, or felt personally attacked by a planner, this one’s for you.

🎧 Laugh, cringe, and feel seen. New episode out now.

In the opening episode of Teens Unmuted,

A group of teenagers gather to record their very first episode of their fictional podcast — and quickly discover that turning on the mic doesn’t magically make everyone sensible.

Before recording, personalities clash, siblings argue, snacks cause outrage, and patience runs thin as the group struggle to get organised. Once the podcast officially begins, however, they switch into “best behaviour” mode and tackle their chosen topic: teachers and school life.

Through humour and sharp observations, the teens discuss unrealistic homework deadlines, confusing rules, classroom favourites, and the frustration of being told off for things that don’t always feel fair — including a debate over long nails and whether you can even write with them. The episode highlights the contrast between who the teens are off-mic and how they present themselves on-mic, using comedy to explore communication, authority, and the realities of teenage life.

Funny, fast-paced and relatable, Episode 1 sets the tone for the series — where chaos, honesty and insight all fight for the microphone.
