About this listen

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.
