Next Episode: Lucas Peerman tells me about his work as a Teen People News Team member!

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!
