À propos de cet audio

Forty years later, Jen Rudin cracks open the cringey, overdramatic diaries she kept as a ninth-grade child actor in 1980s NYC. Think backstage auditions, bad crushes, big hair, and even bigger teen angst—served with a heavy dose of self-deprecating humor. Turns out, all that teenage drama was weirdly good training for her future career as an award-winning casting director—because who better to spot talent than someone who once documented every single feeling in real time?


NINTH GRADE DIARIES takes you back to 1980s New York City through the cringeworthy, hilarious, and heartfelt lens of a teenage professional child actor. Plus, don’t miss bonus episodes featuring special guests who share their own behind-the-scenes stories from growing up, acting, and surviving the 80s.


If you’ve ever winced at your old self, congratulations: you’ll feel right at home with NINTH GRADE DIARIES.
