For the last 13 years, Peter Lundgren has been mixing magazines with t-shirts: each 'issue' of T-Post is a high quality, ethically produced t-shirt with a graphic on the front and a story printed inside. He runs his apparel publishing empire from Umea in northern Sweden, but we lured him down to speak at this year's EDCH conference in Munich, so I caught up with him there to record this podcast conversation and find out about how he reaches new customers, how marketing has changed over the last 13 years, and why ethical choices need to be visible.

This week we're off at the EDCH editorial design conference in Munich, where the first speaker was Peter Bil'ak from Works That Work. He spoke about his innovative design magazine that's not a design magazine, and also announced that he's going to stop publishing after issue 10. I wanted to find out more, so I grabbed him in a break, and we spoke about his aims in making the magazine, and why he's decided that the project can't go on forever.

This week's episode features bonafide magazine expert Jaap Biemans, better known as Coverjunkie. I dropped in at his home in Amsterdam and chatted with him about the phenomenon of Donald Trump as a cover star, and how the tone of Trump covers have changed now he has taken the presidency. Also, Instagram, Dutch politics, and why Jaap wishes he was really designing the news. It's a good one...

A fresh new redesign of frieze magazine hit newsstands yesterday (23 February, 2017) so I dropped into their office earlier this week to speak to the man behind the changes. David Lane is the co-founder and art director of The Gourmand magazine, and now he's bringing his expertise to bear on the contemporary arts title. In this episode he speaks about changing fonts, attention to detail, and a striking new direction for the cover of a venerable magazine.

Recorded live at Makerversity in Amsterdam on Monday 6 February 2017, this episode features a panel discussion with Kirsten Algera, editor of MacGuffin, Sim Kaart and Tom Janssen from Voortuin, and Marc Robbemond, buyer at Athenaeum Nieuwscentrum. There's a ton of great independent publishing coming out of Amsterdam at the moment, and during our discussion we try to figure out what's driving it, and what's going down particularly well with the city's readers.

This week we're speaking with Anja Aronowsky Cronberg, editor of Vestoj, a fashion magazine unlike any other. The latest issue is dedicated to 'masculinities', and she speaks about the fascinating history of beards, her dislike for fashion shoots, and her fondness for a pre-historic David Shrigley.

Recorded live at The Book Club in London on 24 January 2017, with Liv Siddall, editor of Rough Trade magazine, Jack Self, editor and founder of Real Review, and Steven Gregor, the man behind Gym Class magazine. Listen in and hear them speaking about why small magazines make more sense for them than a big, heavy, expensive luxury print product.

This week we're joined by Eddy, the founder, editor and art director of Water Journal, a photo-driven magazine that dedicates its pages to exploring water in all its forms. I love it when magazines plumb the depths of a niche, and as you'll hear this title is driven by Eddy's own personal obsession, as well as his desire to do things differently. Inspiring stuff for any aspiring independent publishers out there...

This week we paid a visit to Rabbits Road Press, the new community risograph print studio and publishing press based in Newham, East London. There we spoke to founders Sofia Niazi, Rose Nordin and Heiba Lamara about their aims for the press, and how it fits in with their feminist magazine OOMK.

We're back for our first proper podcast episode of 2017, chatting with Tom Armstrong, editor of London-based music magazine The Move. Hear him speaking about the transformative power of music, the excitement he feels when he gets to share something, and the fear that set in when his first copies of the new magazine arrived.
