Hello and welcome to the Stack.
On this week's show, we talk magazines with Steve Watson from Stack Magazines.
We also talk wine and print with Chris Contos from Kennedy Magazine and the world's only dedicated title to sign painting.
Enjoy the show.
From Midori Housing London, this is the stack.
30 minutes of print industry analysis.
And I am Fernando Gustavashieko.
We start the show with another Stack guy, Steve Watson, director of the amazing Stack magazines, which launched back in 2008 as a magazine club.
The subscription service is going stronger than ever with a plethora of new titles.
Once you subscribe, every month you will receive a different indie title from topics ranging to sax to design, you name it.
Steve dropped by at our office.
Stack started in 2008, so it's 17 years now.
Wow.
It's quite a long time.
You're still looking very fresh as ever.
But, you know, before we dive deep in some of the newer titles that you're working on, are you still excited?
Do you still feel this energy from the publishing industry?
How do you see the industry in 2025?
No, of course, of course.
I mean, look, it's a fact of independent publishing that it can be really hard to make a sustainable business out of these magazines.
