September 1989 Teen Life: This, This & That

Start listening

Time to go back to school (in 1989) with the Teen Life topics of the September issue! Catherine goes to Northern Ireland to report on The Troubles and gets real poetic about it. Christina relays tales of raging jealousy with the tiniest nod to more productive ways their subjects could have handled themselves. Your co-hosts are divided on “Grace,” this month’s fiction story. It Happened To Me’s contributor shares her wisdom from an unsuccessful Remote Control tryout. All that plus interracial dating, nipple hair, NutraSweet (remember her) and so much more await you in our latest podcast!
