  • It's open season for new magazines here on the Stack.

  • We're serving doubles for you with a new title about tennis.

  • And a dating app is going analog with a print publication about sex and relationships.

  • Enjoy the show.

  • From Midori Housing, London, this is the stack.

  • 30 minutes of print industry analysis, and I am Fernando Gusto Paseko.

  • We start the show with a very interesting story.

  • Dating app Field, aimed at the emotionally, physically and intellectually curious, has just published the first issue of a new magazine.

  • It's called AFM and of course explores issues around sex and relationships.

  • The inaugural issue is themed around pursuits of happiness with contributors including Bruce LaBruce, Susanna Moore and more.

  • I had the pleasure to welcome to our studio the CEO of Field, Anna Kirova, and the co editor of afm, Maria Dimitrova.

  • Field.

  • It's a dating app for the curious.

  • It's for people who are open to experiencing relationships and really people, other people and themselves in new ways.

  • It was founded in 2014 by my partner, Dimo.

  • We wanted to explore our relationship and wanted to date as a couple, but we were met with a lot of rejection.

  • So Dimo founded Field, and it turned out that there are a lot of people like us who wanted to date outside of prescribed structures and to challenge really existing relationship models and blueprints.

  • And we're all about rewriting the script of how we build intimacy in relationships.

  • It's why we've always offered different options for how people express themselves on the platform.

  • We've explored different models and different formats to allow people different ways to find out more about themselves and about each other.
