Hi, my name is Anna Soper, and this is Teen People. This podcast features in-depth conversations with people who appeared in Teen People magazine as young adults. So far, they’ve shared stories of building their careers, having kids (or not!) and finding their way through this challenging time. My next guest is Diana Maciel. She worked at Teen People in the late ‘90s and early 2000s, and has since built a career as a creative director. When I spoke with her in August, she was based at Forever 21, but has since moved into a new role at beauty subscription service IPSY. Diana told me about her really awesome job, and if you are a creative director-in-training, this episode runs like a little masterclass. Diana also shared her throwback inspirations, her love for New York, and her best celebrity encounter! I began the episode by showing her a photo from Teen People’s October 1999 issue, featuring her and a few other interns at Teen People’s Manhattan headquarters.

Trendspotting with Robin Knudsen!

Robin Knudsen was 16 when she scouted my earlier guest, Preston Drum, for a Teen People photoshoot in Charlotte, North Carolina. She and Preston were friends in school, but by the time she scouted Preston for her story, he had changed schools, and it seemed like he didn’t recognize her. It didn’t help that her mum made her change from her usual, funky clothes into a more “professional” look for the job. This episode tells a coming-of-age story. Playin’ with a couple of neighbour boys and a dog in the woods. Brooding in a high school stairwell with new friends. Sharing mixtapes and headphones, and a kiss in the rain. This is Robin’s story. Podcast notes: Robin's old friend, Preston Drum, spoke with me about his 15 minutes of fame in Teen People magazine.
