    Inventing the Teenager with Harmony Colangelo

    Where did all these teens come from? Harmony Colangelo, co-host of This Ends at Prom, is here to explain how, before Americans got to worry about what teenagers were up to, we first had to decide what they were—and how a boom in postwar educational films taught a generation of adolescents what not to do.

    Marilyn's Dress

    What happens when a billionaire reality tv star inserts herself into the dress and legacy of the most iconic bombshell of the 21st Century? In 1962, Marilyn Monroe commissioned fashion designer Jean Louis and freshly graduated design student Bob Mackie to create a one of a kind flesh-colored soufflé gauze gown for her appearance at a fundraiser for JFK, cooing a legendary rendition of “Happy Birthday” (Mr. President) and captivating the world from her rhinestoned sheer confection. For this episode, Caroline O’Donoghue (of the Sentimental Garbage podcast) joins us to hear Fashion and Tinseltown Correspondent Eve Lindley recount what happened when Kim Kardashian convinced the Ripley’s Believe It Or Not “Museum” to sew her into this piece of archival fashion history for the 2022 Met Gala, including the ensuing uproar from the public.

    Germany's Go Ask Alice with Adrian Daub (Christiane F. – Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo)

    We're talking about a teenage girl's memoir of drugs, survival, and escape—a book that freaked out German-speaking kids and parents about as much as Go Ask Alice did for Americans. Only this time, the story is true. (Plus! Your responses to my post asking about what's making you feel excitement and joy ended up making me feel so much joy that I wanted to ask the same question as an episode prompt. So if you want to share your joy and excitement again, please send a sound file or voice memo—three minutes or shorter—to sloppyandalive [at] gmail [dot] com, and you might hear it in our next episode.) Read Adrian's Substack posts on Christiane F.—part III coming soon.

    The Worst Oscars Ever?? with Michael Schulman

    What do Lily Tomlin, Snow White, and Kenny Ortega have in common? They were all part of the 61st Academy Awards, a broadcast now remembered as the worst of all time, and masterminded by Allan Carr (lover of spectacle and producer of Grease). But awards season correspondent and New Yorker staff writer Michael Schulman is here to argue that the tackiest, most disastrous Oscars of all time might just be... unfairly maligned. And to tell us what's bringing you joy and excitement right now, send us a voice memo (three minutes or shorter) at sloppyandalive (at) gmail (dot) com. We can't wait to hear from you.
