Hello and welcome to the Stack.
This week we review a new weekly series from the New York Times, a magazine that is all about passion and Monaco's collaboration with Italian luxury house Gucci.
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 talking about a new weekly series from the New York Times titled the Interview.
And it is exactly what it says, an in depth conversation with a relevant person, from a marine biologist to a Hollywood star.
The conversation is hosted every week by David Marchese and Lulu Garcia Navarro, and it is featured in their podcast and also in print inside the New York Times Magazine.
I had the pleasure to speak with both David and Lulu on the art of a good interview and a bit more about the interview.
There were all sorts of different ways that the New York Times interviewed people.
You have the profile, you have what David was doing before, which was talk, which was a written Q and A.
But the idea between joining David and I together was to reach all the different ways that people consume the time.
So in audio, in print, digitally, eventually even maybe on YouTube and video.
So really trying to take these people that are so fascinating, so seminal, who want to speak with the New York Times and actually be able to put it out into the world in all these different ways.
And David, do you think there was.
Something missing, perhaps not only on the New York Times, but for a proper in depth interview, you know, something that you can really delve into the life of someone being a musician, a politician?
I generally think there was.
I think the world of media was craving for something like the interview.
Yeah, I mean, there's obviously no shortage of interview podcasts, but I think maybe where there was a gap was, you know, in the idea that there was an interview that could happen that combines both a sense of journalistic rigor and sort of a more kind of intimate, free flowing conversational form?
It seems to me that, like, those things were generally divided.
