Show Notes
Amanda and I are traveling back to June 1997 to discuss:
- Touring inside author’s homes and whether we think it’s kinda intrusive and uncomfortable
- Neverending reader hate for “the F word”
- The fans used to blow back cover models’ hair
- And speaking of, what’s on the Cover Model Pageant contestant’s heads?
And more!
