Helen's Log

Introducing… Helen's Log

Season 1, Ep. 0

Helen’s Log is a weekly audio diary from Helen Bauer - it’s a space to catch up, ramble, overshare, and document the weird little things that make up her week.


From deep dives into Ancient Greece to holidays in Alicante. From Helen’s latest obsession with essential oils to rewatching My Big Fat Greek Wedding for the hundredth time. Think of it as a diary without the hand cramps or spelling stress. 


Don’t be surprised if friend, family or foe decide to drop in to keep Helen on her toes, or just laugh at the latest entry in the Log, but this is mostly about Helen logging life as it comes, with all the tangents, distractions, and mild existential crises along the way.


It’s honest, it’s chaotic, and it’s one day destined to be studied by social scientists - or at least re-listened to by Helen on her deathbed.
