About us.

Unsupervised Childhood is your passport to the wild and carefree days of growing up without a helmet—or a curfew! Hosted by New York-based comedian Ali Mehedi, this podcast dives deep into childhood stories from all around the world, capturing the universal mischief, chaos, and magic that defined being a kid.

Ali brings his sharp wit and knack for storytelling to uncover hilarious and heartwarming tales from different cultures, eras, and corners of the globe. From daredevil playground antics in New York to outrageous pranks in rural villages, and from the unforgettable 90s TV shows to those peculiar local snacks only kids dared to eat, Unsupervised Childhood is a nostalgic mashup of the world’s greatest (and most ridiculous) growing-up moments.

Whether you were the kid launching yourself off ramps in the U.S., chasing lizards in South Asia, or sneaking into forbidden spots in Europe, Ali’s global perspective will have you laughing, reminiscing, and feeling connected to a time when kids everywhere were united in mischief. So grab your Capri Sun, pop in your favorite mixtape, and join Ali for a blast to the past where the fun was endless, the supervision was minimal, and the memories are pure gold.

Tune in to rediscover why growing up unsupervised—and across the world—was the ultimate adventure!
