March 31, 2026 September 1991 Teen Life: Farming, Popularity & Baked Potatoes
Tara needs to thank the scissor-happy Sassy reader who sold her the podcast's original copy of the September 1991 issue, because if not for the missing pages (full and partial), we would never have had to acquire another copy of the same issue and find out there were TWO VERSIONS of the cover -- one lipsticked and glossy, one nude-lipped and matte! Stand by as Pam uses her angles to try to get the inside story. While you wait, we can tell you about the issue's Teen Life topics. Karen does a shoddy job trying to make us take up for the beleaguered American farmer. Kim tries to make us chill out about the popular kids. Boys are crying and REALLY defensive about it. And much more! Get into it!

March 17, 2026 August 1991 Slumber Party: This, This & That
How health-conscious are we, according to Sassy's August 1991 quiz? Quite, as long as you have no follow-up questions! After sharing our results (and complaints) about that, it's on to your calls on subjects including (but not limited to) Nad's, dry brushing, Little House On The Prairie, Hypercolor t-shirts, Gantt charts, Kevin Coogan -- and, of course, Christmas piles, because 'tis always the season. Grab some vegetables or some weed (or both!) and snuggle into your sleeping bag with us.

March 03, 2026 August 1991 Fashion Etc.: Brushes, Jeans & The Clarion Computer
We know this issue landed in mid- to late July, but can it ever be too early to start thinking about your back-to-school wardrobe? Sassy invites you to imagine yourself as a Coco Chanel knockoff, an intimidatingly cool biker chick, or a face and a couple of limbs with monochromatic garments laid on top of you. (It'll make sense when you see it.) You can also learn about eye makeup, hair brushes, kilts, and what kind of time Jane had co-starring in R.E.M.'s "Shiny Happy People" video...but wouldn't you rather talk about all the new ADS that helped make this issue the fattest we've seen in months? We sure would! Get out two to four pairs of jeans and listen to our latest episode!

February 17, 2026 August 1991 Pop Culture: Guns 'N Roses, Bulletboys & Paula Abdrool
The August 1991 issue has a few pop culture topics to go deep on. Guns 'N Roses gets covered with a What Now concert review AND a review of Danny Sugerman's very pretentious-sounding book about them in the brand-new column Read It (though probably don't; it only earns one pip as the month's book bomb). Paula Abdul gets a bomb review of her new album Spellbound AND name-checked as "Paula Abdrool" in the Keanu Reeves/Alex Winter cover Q&A. Otherwise, we get a lot of material we might like more coverage on, like: Siouxsie And The Banshees' Superstition; Ethan Hawke's Mystery Date hair; Tori Spelling's 18th birthday party; and what Anne L. could not have foreseen would be an incredible revolving door of BulletBoys. You don't need an extra arm à la The Dark Backward to enjoy our commentary on all of the above and more!

February 03, 2026 August 1991 Teen Life: Gladiators, Boyfriends & A Whole Bunch Of Wives
August 1991 is the thickest issue we've had in quite a while, but those extra pages were not set aside for Teen Life topics -- in fact, there isn't even a fiction story! There are, however, Kim's try-out for American Gladiators, Christina's musings on long-distance boyfriend pros and cons, a What He Said on breast size, a quick trip over a bridge (or through a tunnel) to Brooklyn for On The Road, and more. Even the bummer feature -- about polygamist Alex Joseph, his nine wives, and their many many children -- is mostly a curiosity in its day, and only a bummer in retrospect. Not a bummer? Our latest episode, featuring original music cues that WILL get stuck in your heads. Or maybe not. Enjoy!

We're just back from a nearly two-month break. We took two VERY confrontational quizzes ("Are You A News Moron?" and "Are You An Annoyance?"). We...barely remember how to do this, so please enjoy a basically unedited stream of thought conversation on wedgies, Margaret Thatcher, Antarctica, huffing in an unventilated garage, and much much more!

January 06, 2026 July 1991 Fashion Etc.: Red, White & Blue (And Gray)
The hot dogs are sizzling, the fireworks are firing, and July 1991 cover model Rochelle is telling Sassy George Washington never meant shit to her and that HER Independence Day is January 1, the day the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. HELL YEAH! ...There is more to the issue, but it doesn't really compare. One fashion story is in gray; the other is red, white, blue, and American flag print for the holiday Rochelle shan't be celebrating. Sassy also wants to help you lighten up your makeup; turn a t-shirt and a skirt into an ugly and ill-fitting dress; and look ahead to fall -- nooooOOOOO! -- and the plaids and suedes they think you'll be rocking for back to school. Light a firework and listen!

December 23, 2025 July 1991 Pop Culture: Chapterhouse, Jamie Walters & Summer Recommendations
It's summer, and everyone at Sassy is already too hot to work. Christina admits that What Now is kind of a flop -- she's even a month late mentioning Ian Svenonius's birthday! (It's June 1, in case you also want to mark your calendar for the most important event of the year.) One To Watch Jamie Walters, we can now agree, burned bright in his moment, but that his moment did not last long. And then the staff just foregoes Watch It, Listen Up, AND an entertainment feature, instead assembling an insert full of recommendations for what they're all going to be watching, reading, and doing in the summer of 1991. Which of them do we think you should listen to? Listen to US to find out.

December 09, 2025 July 1991 Teen Life: Hamburger U, Girls' Self-Esteem & Things You Can Measure In Pints
The editors use an antique slur (sadly surging back to popularity) to describe a contributor's mentally handicapped sister, but let's not focus on that when the piece -- especially the photos it's built around -- is thoughtful and sensitive. Then, we can move on to why and how to dump a guy; no, taking you to the library isn't one of the reasons, though it does come up. Mike reports from the McDonald's training institute Hamburger University, where the sight of students and instructors actually caring about their careers in customer service alarms his apathetic Gen-X sensibilities. On The Road goes to Cleveland; female staffers' brothers confess the ways they tortured them as kids; a teen mother glosses over a LOT of what Happened To her; and more! You might want fries with this pretty early on, so sort that out before you hit play!

November 25, 2025 June 1991 Fashion Etc.: Bikinis, Bandana Prints & The Face Shade 2000
Just in case you haven't already picked out every bathing suit you're going to need for the summer of 1991, Sassy's bringing you one more fashion story on bikinis. Hope you like the way Bronwyn models them because there's very little variation in her poses! The issue also covers vaguely pan-Latin American looks, some kind of fairy tale beauty story, bandana and patchwork-y prints, and how to keep the sun's harmful rays off your precious skin. Sure, a deep tan sounds good now, but someday you'll be in your fifties and VERY aware of sun damage! TRUST US!!! All of this and so very much more awaits you in our latest episode!
