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."

Funny stuff
This pod is definitely worth listening to makes me laugh all the time. I first heard it was when our teacher gave us a podcast assignment and played this one as an example. I could tell everyone was tryin to hold in their laughs but I couldn’t so I burst out laughing and everyone looked at me. From then on I was scared the teacher would play that podcast again and I wouldn’t be able to stop myself from bursting out laughing. All to say it’s funny stuff.
Awesome!
I love this show so much! I am only 13, but this show is so funny and I listen to it especially when I need a good laugh! Keep it up!
Funny
Amazing quality
