Show Notes
Hey, where are you going? Get in the time machine – we want to bring you back to March 2009 to check out the ads & features from Romantic Times Magazine.
We’ve got: Snippy letters to the editor! Covers that look like shaving cream ads for women Reading in a recession Folks explaining steampunk! Pop vs. Soda And you’ll find out what words are used in an acrostic of “pandemic.”
TW: In the middle you’ll hear from Editing Sarah – which is when I interject additional info into the episode while I’m editing it – for about a minute and a half. There is some gross fatphobia and mean terminology in that section. Skip ahead when I start reading the paragraph about 30 seconds.
And you can watch this episode on YouTube to see all the images as we discuss them. You are most welcome to subscribe to our YouTube channel if you would like!
