I went looking for ’s 1992 Esquire piece “The American Male at Age 10” and ended up downloading the whole December 1992 issue. It’s a complete nostalgia trip.
Highly recommend listening to this Esquire Classics podcast on it: beta.prx.org/stories/176673

Replying to @4sweetjustice @m_crouton and 4 others
I wasn't seeing new content notifications and found that my notifications for m_crouton were somehow set to "only live video" so I changed it back to "All". Not sure when/how it got messed up. But in any case I would do a search for you and always found you. Phew!
