A Podcast for Tweens about the Moments in Life When We Broke the Rules
“Ooh You’re in Trouble” is a podcast for tweens about the moments of defiance that define us. Each episode features true stories of young people confessing a moment they broke the rules growing up.
From the makers of “MORTIFIED,” the series explores why kids defy rules — what does it reveal about us and what can we learn from it? From sneaking out of the house past curfew to organizing a protest, these are the stories of Rebels, Rascals, Rule Breakers, and even Revolutionaries. The result? A show that’s funny, educational, insightful and messy. Just like growing up.
