This episode features a conversation with Lucas Peerman, News Director of the Las Cruces Sun-News in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Lucas was 18 when he joined Teen People magazine's News Team; a diverse corps of young journalists who contributed some of their first bylines to Teen People. He spoke with me from his home in Las Cruces, just two days before the U.S. election in November 2020. He told me about his most memorable interview for Teen People, his collection of Teen People News Team memorabilia, and his thoughts on journalism in a social media age. Teen People is recorded in Kingston/Katarokwi, the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee and the Huron-Wendat.

Welcome to Teen People, the podcast that catches up with folks from Teen People magazine. This is the second of a two-part interview featuring Zena Burns. Zena got a job at Teen People in 1999, and stayed there until the magazine came to an end in 2006. She was heartbroken when the magazine folded, as she’d not only landed her dream job before the age of 25, she made lifelong friends there. Our full episode covers her journey to Teen People, her best celebrity encounters, and her thoughts on how Teen People challenged and expanded the teen magazine genre. Find our conversation in episode 10. In this episode, Zena and I browse through some of my collection of Teen People magazines; covering an era from 1998 to 2002. I’ve posted all of the images on my Twitter and Instagram, at TeenPeoplePod. Find them there and follow along!

Welcome to another episode of Teen People; the podcast that catches up with real people from Teen People magazine! In 2005, Ellie Wen appeared on Teen People’s annual list of 20 Teens Who Will Change the World. As a young teen, Ellie created an award-winning digital library called Repeat After Us. She and her friends recorded and transcribed poems, quotes, speeches, and books; including works by Katharine Hepburn, Frida Kahlo, Shakespeare, and Oprah. At the time, Ellie said that the website would function as a free resource for literature lovers and English language learners. It had 2000 hits a day when Teen People profiled it in 2005. As an adult, Ellie shifted into a career as a documentary filmmaker. Born in Hong Kong, Ellie’s now based in San Francisco, where she lives with her husband and a “pandemic baby”. She spoke with me about 'Single Mother Only Daughter' (a short film she made about her relationship with her mother)and how she’s changing the world.
