Who am I?
Hi! I'm Anna, and I host Teen People, a podcast where I track down real people who were in TEEN PEOPLE magazine as teens and young adults. I'm a British-Canadian librarian and visual artist in Canada. Like a good librarian, I also love cats and gardening. I've been a podcaster for three years, and I've discovered that I really like working with first-person narrative audio. My work is "serious cultural anthropology" (in the words of one guest). As a librarian, I'm obviously interested in history, so it helps that the '90s and 2000s-era cultural histories are big right now!
My Show
What is my podcast about and/or how does it relate to the playlist topic you chose?
My podcast, Teen People, features people who were in TEEN PEOPLE magazine as teens and young adults. TEEN PEOPLE was a spinoff of PEOPLE, and was published between 1998 and 2006. They featured real teens in every issue, and printed their full names, ages and locations; which makes them pretty Google-able today! I use my remaining collection of TEEN PEOPLEs to locate my guests, who share complex and fascinating stories about coming-of-age in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Where are TEEN PEOPLE's "real teens" now? Let's find out!
What is my podcast playlist about?
These podcasts (including my own) will remind you of the 90s and 2000s; when magazines were still a big deal, when we first started Being Online, and when we used to shop at the mall. Remember those days? Then you'll love these podcasts!
1. Celebrating TEEN PEOPLE magazine's 25th anniversary
Why this podcast?
I created this episode in 2023, to celebrate TEEN PEOPLE magazine's 25th anniversary. In the 2000s, content by and for "real people" took off. From Tavi Gevinson's Style Rookie, to reality TV, and Humans of New York, people were hungry for media in which they could see themselves. I believe that TEEN PEOPLE helped to popularize that trend with their own focus on real teens. This episode features clips from my first two seasons, including interviews with Caron Levis, Gennie Gorback, Robin Knudsen, Zena Burns, Dr. Ben Barry, and James Frankie Thomas. You can find their episodes in seasons one and two of Teen People!

And, like TEEN PEOPLE, some of today's A-listers were featured in SASSY at the very beginning of their careers.
