Listen To Sassy: Life In The 90s

From 1988-1994, Sassy was the coolest magazine going for Gen-X teens. Celebrate that golden time by joining Tara Ariano, Pamela Ribon and David T. Cole for a deep dive into every one of its 80 glorious issues and remember what it was like hanging out with Jane, Christina, Catherine, Karen, and the whole crew, learning What Now, What Next, and so much more!

Latest Episodes:

December 1989 Teen Life: Sobbing, Speculums & Saving The Planet Feb 21, 2023

Show notes

Sassy's first and only double issue kicks off with a classic bummer: the story of teenager Billy Rosebud, whose murder cops only bothered to look into after his own family spent years doing most of the investigating for them. From there, things lighten up, as Karen tells us what to expect from a gynecologist appointment, Christina walks us through a truly cathartic crying fit, and Mary Kaye attempts to help us save the planet. (Whoops.) Plus: a fiction story about a dad's hypocrisy (yes, we know, that's all fiction for teen girls); a stark warning about extended-wear contacts; the truth about hickeys, and much much more!

October & November 1989 Slumber Party: NKOTB, Frogs & Toilets Feb 07, 2023

Show notes

Having skipped the October Slumber Party episode in late 2022, we're bringing you a SUPER-SIZED installment featuring our results in not one but TWO quizzes: Rate Your Self-Destructiveness from the October 1989 issue, and Rate Your Mall Knowledge from November 1989. Then it's on to several months' worth of calls on such subjects as whether physical therapy is a scam, how to lord a birthstone ring over your haters, Crocs, tarot, Lady Gaga, and what is and isn't necessary when it comes to public pooping. Sorry but also this is partly on you, or at least your fellow listeners!

November 1989 Fashion Etc.: Loungin', Thanks & Shades Of Fragrance Jan 24, 2023

Show notes

Having bid adieu to our dear guest co-hosts Kim and Megan, we welcome back Pam for the November 1989 Fashion Etc. episode. Fashion spreads tell us how to dress like a pilgrim, or a rodeo queen (?), or in a jacket. Karen does an exposé on how worthless your expensive modeling school education actually is. The lone beauty story tries to show us what...smells......look like. There's also beauty gadget trials, an update on how to wear your jeans, curly hair makeovers, some very emotional letters, and so much more!

November 1989 Pop Culture: New Kids, Josh Charles & A Cute Baby Boy Jan 10, 2023

Show notes

Megan and Kim wind up their guest-co-hosting gigs with a bumper crop of pop culture topics. What Now takes us through The Keeper, "Bettys," acceptable crush objects Simon de la Brosse and Ethan Hawke, and Unacceptable crush object Leaf Phoenix. We attempt to understand the plot of Nightmare On Elm Street 5 and the appeal of Queen Of Hearts. We celebrate Mike's extremely correct five-star review of the Beastie Boys' Paul's Boutique, and why the youth still know Tears For Fears. Then it's on to another successful One To Watch pick, and a feature all about every cool late '80s girl's object of disdain: New Kids On The Block. Join us as we go through the issue Step By Step!

November 1989 Teen Life: Pregnant, Drafted & Dumped Dec 27, 2022

Show notes

Megan and Kim return to help us cover all the Teen Life topics of the November 1989 issue! After racing through the lead bummer feature about the passes rich white criminals get, we discuss some solid advice from Christina on what to do -- and, more importantly, what NOT to do -- when you get dumped. The winners of a photography contest surprise us with their competence. Some guys DON'T surprise us with their shallow thinking about whether women should be subject to a military draft. There's also soup, Harvard, anemia, adoption, a bumper crop of Stuff You Wrote, and oh so very much more!

Show notes

While Pam continues globe-trotting, we are joined by guest co-hosts Megan McCafferty and Kim Reed for a discussion of the fashion (etc.) of the October 1989 issue! We're painting our feet, squinting at boots, sewing crap to the bottom of our blazers...okay, we're only doing some of that -- but we're talking about all of it. Prepare yourself for a deep dive on the "Welcome To Bedrock" fashion story, which instantly finds itself in the top 5 weirdest in the magazine's young life. Plus! Ads, letters, desks, the '20s, and so much more!

Show notes

Pam is overseas and Kim Reed's internet has been destroyed, but guest co-host Megan McCafferty is here! And eager to dig in on October 1989's pop culture topics. Her beloved Keith Coogan gets a mention in a What Now blurb about Star Search! Her object of teenage obsession, River Phoenix, gets a whole page to proselytize to Christina about animal rights! And there's more: we also cover Gleaming The Cube, The Karate Kid Part III, Frank Whaley, acceptable potatoes, whether The Pogues and reggae are repetitive (spoiler: yes), and -- somehow -- Steven Spielberg's defunct theme restaurant, Dive!. Make yourself a sandwich and your dog some meat-free kibble and join us!

October 1989 Teen Life: Reputations, Periods & World Statistics Nov 15, 2022

Show notes

For once, the lead feature is not heavy with tragedy -- it's just a little research piece on stats about teens in the U.S. compared to other countries. Do WE find a way to end on a bummer note anyway? ...Sorry, but yes, we do. We also discuss a piece that claims to help you "blow off" a reputation you might not want, and a collection of Sassy staffers' most horrifying and graphic period stories. Beyond the features, we're talking gum, toilet strat, cheaters, eye twitches, and much much more! Pull up your 3D socks and join us!

How strong should you come on to a hypothetical Danish exchange student? Take the quiz and compare your results to ours. Then it's on to your latest voicemails, covering subjects ranging from how to interact with Northern Irish children; whether Bonhomme is a force for evil; how dangerous Drysol may actually be, and much much more!
