Librarian interviewing people from TEEN PEOPLE magazine! Where are they now? Let's find out! | A podcast by Anna Soper @Flora150Project | Kingston, ON 🇨🇦
Join me as I track down people who were in Teen People magazine between 1998 and 2006.
Where are they now? Hear more on Teen People, the podcast where we uncover personal and political histories through Teen People magazine!
JUST IN: After two people climbed to the top of the Empire State Building and unfurled a banner on top of its spire Wednesday afternoon, one of the climbers appeared to propose to the other. https://t.co/ngG3jOeTBU
The girls of TikTok are inventing fake early 2000s actresses with AI.
They refer to this woman as “Brooke Sullivan” - she gets millions of views on compilations of her old shows and interviews 🤯
Counter-prediction: we’re going to see a big Raygun / Emigre revival. Fits the surge of analog and it’s overdue on the 20 year trend cycle! Grit and humanity meets new technology!
@AuxGod_ Fun fact: Teen People magazine had to expand this feature to 25 under 25 because one of the celebrities they were going to profile got caught lying about their age 😂

I founded this podcast six years ago, as a librarian revisiting the Y2K era through Teen People magazine. So I'm delighted to announce that I'm now working in publishing! I'm a production editor and designer at a literary journal, and am excited for my new career path. ✨
The last time the Carolina Hurricanes were in the Stanley Cup Final was 2006:
• Macklin Celebrini was six days old
• Crosby & Ovi had just finished their rookie season
• Wayne Gretzky was the Coyotes' HC
• Stankoven was 3, Blake was 2
• 4 teams in the NHL didn't exist
Because they had a revolution and we did not, Americans underestimate Britain's historic influence on Canadian social movements ("wokeness", if you will). Canadians seeking greater rights had to challenge British law—or a political system built on a British model—to obtain them.
To be explicit about this: Wokeness was part of a long chain of American social movements designed to help Black America (abolition, Civil Rights, Black Power, etc.). Canada has nothing even remotely analogous to Black America. So Canadian wokeness is perpetually searching for an analogue to Black America (Indigenous Canadians? Trans people? Nonwhite immigrants?) -- and perpetually confused at its failure to find one.
This is the inevitable result of trying to graft on an ideology imported from a very different country.
Interesting! Founder Paula James-Martinez seems to be taking a page from the Teen People playbook, cultivating relationships with real teen journalists and aiming to reflect "what it really is to be a teen in this country".
Refinery29's former fashion director is launching a new print magazine for teens, taking visual and editorial cues from '90s zines like Sassy and Tiger Beat. Drops this summer.✨
