The magCulture Podcast

Recorded at the magCulture Shop, Jeremy Leslie introduces the latest Podcast, opening with magCulture updates and news. He's joined by James Hyman and Tory Turk to discuss their Hymag magazine archive – over 150,000 magazines collected together as the basis for a genre-defining digital database of content. The three start with a look at recent releases, including Interview, Racquet, Post and The Believer, before looking at Hymag’s crowdfunding campaign, a vital project to make sure the archive has a future. Jeremy also meets Oriane Leckert, Senior Outreach Lead, Publishing, Comics, and Journalism at Kickstarter to hear why the platform works so well for magazine launches. Oriane highlights some recent succesful campaigns and shares some tips for prospective fundraisers. Our back issue this time is nineties interiors mag Nest, a beautiful run of 26 issues that is about to be celebrated by a new book from Phaidon.
