The Stack

Launched a successful magazine? Why not take the next logical step and dip your to into the world of book publishing? Today, one of our favourite travel journals goes hardbound. Plus: the man who can make all your newsprint dreams come true and a food publication to whet your appetite.

Tyler Brûlé is joined by Georgina Godwin and a host of festive favourites in this special live programme broadcast from the Monocle Christmas Market. Luxury correspondent Sagra Maceira de Rosen shares her list of favourite magazines of the season, we browse the weekend's papers, and we find our how David Lane from 'The Gourmand' is setting his Christmas table.

The people who make independent magazines aren’t motivated by fame or fortune. They simply want their passion projects to reach an appreciative community of like-minded readers. Still, given the long hours and unpredictable financial returns, most wouldn’t turn down an offer of an open bar, and maybe even a gong or two. On today’s show, we look back at last week’s Stack Awards. Plus: a magazine that never fails to have us dusting off our tennis whites and another to take you off the beaten track.

Find out how one of the most influential magazines of the past decade-and-a-bit has broken the habit of a lifetime with its latest cover. Plus: a title from Germany to boost your hosting skills and a magazine about cities that doesn’t shy away from the grittier aspects of urban living.

The editors of legacy newspapers’ arts sections can be a gloomy bunch: on top of their sensitive dispositions, sadly they’re often the first casualties when management wields the axe. This week: a conversation with an arts-desk chief who’s a heartening exception to that rule. Plus: a magazine proving the midwest is more than flyover country and Edward Enninful’s ‘Vogue’ hits newsstands.

Your favourite independent magazines are compiled through hours of solitary and near-solitary toil by industry fanatics hunched over InDesign, stuck in what can sometimes feel like a state of purgatory. No wonder this (usually) invisible army jumps at the chance to get outside and share ideas with like-minded print fans. This week we report from one of the most anticipated print events of the year: the fifth annual Modern Magazine conference.

A treat for our German-speaking listeners this week, with a travel manual designed to guide them gently but firmly off the beaten track. Plus: a mag full of mutts and the view from Australia.

We’re used to newspapers spicing up their weekend editions with colour supplements: but why would a magazine want to launch a magazine? Plus: blockbuster titles from Paris and the US, and a new food publication with a fresh take on veganism.

Reports from print-industry events in London and Frankfurt. Plus: Monocle's editor in chief on the latest edition of the magazine.
