The readers have some crazy ideas about the Pop Culture topics of their reader-produced issue. What Now in the middle of the issue, and on a white background? Listen Up and Read It fifty pages apart? Making Ones To Watch of a band that will break up moments after this issue is released? At least Henry Rollins is still sternly scolding us all for our terrible choices into our current day. All this AND a shoe design contest judged by Lady Miss Kier?!

The readers have returned to produce the December 1991 issue, and they’ve got some big ideas. What He Said is out. WorldWatch and Crusaders are in. Bummer features? Forever. (Although this one is about the kind of skinheads who are cool and beat up Nazis, so it could definitely be worse.) We’ve got some editing notes and a lot of memories about Light As A Feather, Stiff As A Board and related attempts to mess with the laws of physics in our latest Teen Life episode!QUICK LINKS🗒 Full episode notes can be found on this episode's page on our website🖼️ Check out this episode's Visual Aids☎️ Call The Hotline!

Callers are telling us about the advertisers that let them down, where to donate glasses, and much more!
It’s nearly the holidays as this issue reaches readers, so a few things are on their minds: how to dress for a festive party; what to wear UNDER those outfits; which fragrances will be most enticing; and, of course, which pieces to purchase if they’re going full Heidicore. Outside the features, we’ve got questions about the Designer Imposters business model, which lockers an “organizer” in a fractional ad will actually fit in, whether actual popular kids are taking time out of their busy social lives to write scolding letters to Sassy, and much much MUCH more.QUICK LINKS🗒 Full episode notes can be found on this episode's page on our website🖼️ Check out this episode's Visual Aids☎️ Call The Hotline!

The time has come to discuss cover boy Jason Priestley, then just a few months into Season 2 of Beverly Hills, 90210. And since we have access to an expert — Sarah D. Bunting, Tara’s co-host on the once-upon-a-time Beverly Hills, 90210 podcast Again With This (though we’ve since gone on to run out of those and move on to Melrose Place, Dawson’s Creek, and very soon Felicity) and co-writer of A Very Special 90210 Book. Before we get to Priestley REALLY straining to seem edgier to Christina than his squeaky-clean character Brandon Walsh, there is much to discuss: Gregorian chants, mood rings, Hard Courts, Barton Fink, and much much more. No need to exchange an egg: hop right in!QUICK LINKS🗒 Full episode notes can be found on this episode's page on our website🖼️ Check out this episode's Visual Aids☎️ Call The Hotline!
