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.
