My Mum's Bad Diaries
BookmarkJenny Ackland and Lilika May
My Mum's Bad Diaries is a society podcast hosted by Jenny Ackland and Lilika May. It has 154 episodes, with the latest published April 2026.
You're invited to eavesdrop as a mother reads out her teenage diaries to her daughter. Funny, candid, poignant and brave, this podcast is both living memoir and an investigation into what makes (and breaks) a woman. No scripts, no prep; just 40-year-old (diary) gold being unearthed. Even Jenny doesn't know what's going to come up as she lays bare her inner teen world to her daughter Lilika. Their motto is 'we go there', so what could possibly go wrong?
