Travel back in time to remember the good, bad, and awkward parts of growing up. Recorded live on stage, adults share the weird and wonderful things they wrote as children and teens. Embarrassing, moving, and hilarious, these readings are powerful reminders of who we used to be. The Guardian says "it has much charm," while Splitsider describes GRTTWaK as "equal parts cringe-worthy and cathartic."

Amazing quality
Hi I love ur show
Hi I am a 12 year old from Canada I know this was made for adults but I think it’s great for all people! It’s a great to know that other people were going through the same thing when they were my age. Also I know some people think it’s not appropriate for tweens but there is nothing I did’t already know that was talked about on this podcast. And also swear words and stuff are JUST WORDS! THEY WILL NOT HURT YOU AS LONG AS YOU DONT USE THEM! So for parents that don’t let your kids listen to this podcast you should let them as long as they are not being disrespectful. It is actually a great place to know that other people are going though the same things that you are going through so it’s good for hard times and will always make you laugh!
Hilarious Podcast!
This podcast is one of my all time favourites! It brings you back to how you saw the world as a kid, and being able to experience all of that again as an adult really puts things into perspective whether it’s the funny, confusing, or sad things we all go through as a kid. LOVE IT!
