In a slightly different tone this week, we talk about the little quirks that sets us apart from the south. We talk about the different colloquialisms, catch phrases and our unhealthy love of gravy.

Did we miss anything out? Get involved with our chat by dropping us a message on instagram and join in with our Letters from the Listeners.

This week, we’re diving headfirst into the wild world of childhood and teenage rumours – from the downright ridiculous to the strangely believable. Remember that story about the kid from the Frosties advert? Or the dark tale involving a girl and a bag of Skittles? Yeah… we went there.

We’re also back with Letters from the Listeners, reading out some hilarious stories involving millennial teenagers, alcohol, and questionable decisions.

This week on Growing Up Up North, we’re chatting all things music – from the songs we grew up with to the tunes our parents had on repeat. We reminisce about chart hits, school disco anthems, and dive into a game of Mint or Naff? where we rate some unforgettable (and sometimes unforgivable) tracks from the '90s and early '00s.
