From Midori Housing London, this is the stack.
30 minutes of print industry analysis and I am Fernando Gustavacu.
We start the show with Randami Tuhami, the French Moroccan creative director, entrepreneur, DJ and also publisher.
Randani is known as the co founder of Officino Universal Beaulieu together with his wife Victoire de Talacia.
Now he also plays the role of a hotelier in charge of Hotel Dry Berge, located in the Bernese mountains.
And as this is the stack, he's got a new publication coming out this month called Useless Fighters, a beautiful biennial that describes itself as a magazine for the mountains.
You don't know.
A cultural and political look at the importance of mountains.
Moving away from the typical cliches of snowplay and alpine tourism.
Let's hear it from Random.
The name came from a guy called Lionel Terrail, which is Et conquerornde L'in it.
But you can translate from the French to English to Useless Fighters.
It's a guy who was going climbing, one of the big guy in a mountain in the 1950s, 60s, like post war guy, a genius for me, he wrote this fantastic book about mountains.
I have a big obsession for the mountains, Donkey.
I go all over the world to climb them, to hike.
I did Patagonia, I did Sikkim, I did Africa, mountains and everything.
