Reading Scott's Diary

Happy Christmas RSD fans! The podcast with heart returns for a joyful walk down memory lane as Scott and Lizzie take a look at more tat from Scott's past, unearthing boiled lemurs, a disturbing Rydell High shirt and a shocking piece of morbid memorabilia. Elsewhere, table talk turns to intimate waxing, sandy sandwiches and tackle whether Lizzie is finally a MILF.

It's the season finale! Scott celebrates his 15th in style as he gets a brand new flip phone, flattens a chair and sees a BIG birthday bulge. Elsewhere, his role as Satan is talk of the school, he enjoys his pop divas when he's home alone and comes to Sharon Osbourne's defence after a viewing of TV's Bitchiest Moments. Around the table, Lizzie and Scott chat how to pronounce film titles, poorly received small talk and a thundering performance of Riverdance. 

With Scott's 15th birthday merely days away, he contemplates calling the whole thing off, takes pride in his shoe size and has a near death experience?! Along with a teen magazine problem page photocopied and stuck in the diary, Scott and Lizzie chat getting Valentine's cards from your mum, hating pugs, menacing cats and just how much IS a first class stamp in 2023?

Scott's 15th birthday is STILL on the horizon as he gets a very memorable headache, gives his trousers a good mashing, and gets positively giddy over a death on Wisteria Lane. Around the table, Lizzie and Scott enjoy a big book of dinosaur jokes, what Lizzie thinks as she watches Friends for the first time ever, and a live on-air toenail reveal.

Scott gets involved with two of 2005's biggest trends: happy slapping and LiveStrong charity wristbands, celebrates Charles and Camilla's BIG announcement, and catches his grandma red handed in an egg-based lie. Around the table, Lizzie and Scott chat making a screensaver for your crush, panic buying gig tickets and asks did their generation invent sex?

It's February 2005 as Scott repeatedly tries to cheat in exams, comes down with a very mysterious illness and helps clean his grandad's buckets, all with his 15th birthday on the horizon!!! With Lizzie, they chat getting ghosted, performative lesbianism, road-tripping with Sea Monkeys, Lizzie’s intimate encounter with a mirror and Scott's Instagram spat with a member of Steps.

This episode contains discussions of true crime that may not be suitable for all listeners.

Scott takes study leave as he prepares for his year 10 exams, continues his hunt for a remote control and gets loose in the bath. Meanwhile, Lizzie is OFF vanilla slices after Scott's toilet blunder, and chats about the way not to market films, unacceptable names for chickens and how amazingly talented they both are. 

Scott sells his body parts for cash, gets violent with a crayon, and enjoys the hottest night in the school calendar: Stars in Their Eyes. Pupils take to the stage as Blue, Judy Garland and Björk, but it's the Red Hot Chili Peppers that send everyone mad. Table talk with Lizzie turns to Scott's inability to be punished, Big Brother's golden ticket giveaway and how we all sweat.

RSD turns 50! In the 50th episode of THE podcast with heart, Scott’s fingernails are under the microscope, he offers to rustle up some grub for his friends, and laughs for the very first time. Around the table, Lizzie and Scott chat being embarrassed by a menu, party song royalty Black Lace and Scott witnessing a clumsy new mother's blunder on the Tube.

It's January 2005 as Scott's masculinity is questioned in drama class, he gets hot and bothered about nocturnal emissions, and Hollywood is reeling after Brad and Jen announce their split. Elsewhere, Scott's got covid! With Lizzie, he chats ironic vinyl purchases, growing up in Blackpool, and asks will Peter Kay still be funny in 2025?

Scott learns all about erections at different ages, faces repercussions for eating too much sugar and gets deeply offended by Jerry Springer: The Opera. Around the table, Lizzie and Scott chat sex with dinosaurs, getting endangered species to breed and what not to think about on your deathbed. 

Scott sees in 2005 with a damp squib of an evening and a whole load of friend drama, hatches his Sea Monkeys and drips tears on to the diary. Elsewhere, Lizzie and Scott chat pirated DVDs, Hocus Pocus, and using a lemon to add some flavour to your parson's nose. 

It's Christmas 2004! Scott prepares a list of expected gifts on Christmas Day, casts himself as the pantomime dame and harshly criticises the Christmas cabaret. With Lizzie, table talk turns to painful piercings, how to correctly use a bathrobe and Lizzie suggests throwing some of the diary in the BIN?!

It's December 2004 as Steve Brookstein is crowned X Factor winner,  Scott relishes being the class clown, and even the bin man joins in the bullying. Around the table, they chat Lizzie's love life, dodgy gym playlists and misguided attempts at emo fashion.

Scott has a lovely little walk to the post office, gives some terrible birthday presents and steams his face over the stove. Around the table with Lizzie, they talk sobriety, fetishising consent and Scott getting in touch with the Advertising Standards Agency AGAIN!

Scott is left reeling over explosions on the cobbles, gets ANOTHER harsh dose of reality in drama class, and is terrorised by children at his mate's house. Around the table, Lizzie and Scott chat getting trolled after a TV appearance, the best response to being ignored on dating sites, and club nights for girls with big appetites.  

Scott receives a signed photo from the incomparable Beverley Callard, practices walking the red carpet and heads to the cinema to see The Grudge. Elsewhere, Lizzie and Scott chat the politest way to ask for something in the bedroom, what to do with your adult toys when you die, and Maureen from Driving School's hit single. 

RSD is back! Scott and Lizzie open up the third diary and read all about Scott rocking the mic at karaoke, getting in to a spot of bother with an orange and turning super sleuth to read his friends' private conversations. Elsewhere, they get to grips with fridge artwork, everyone's favourite bug explorer, and ANOTHER harebrained moneymaking scheme. 

In the fourth and final part of the four bird roast, Scott and Lizzie find out what teachers REALLY thought of him, more thinly veiled swipes, unfortunate nicknames and dreams of stardom. Elsewhere, they chat school reunions, sexy scarecrows, scary skeletons and Scott's 2008 letter from Lizzie as he departed for university.

The leaver's messages continue as Scott and Lizzie read all about the days of MySpace Street Teams, skiving P.E for two years and dramatic tumbles down the stairs. Around the table, they chat accidentally driving to Wales, playing spin the bottle and getting accused of being a fluffer.
