707. RT Rewind: June 1997 Ads & Features

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!
