- The digital show for hearing about Print Media
This is one of my favorite podcast and I’m a voracious consumer podcast. Hearing a professional and elevated conversation about print media is so refreshing in digital age when it seems that most print titles are moving to digital only. There is such a richness in valuing Print and the connections we as people have to printed materials. The Stack brings reverence to the medium in weekly conversations and it makes me proud to be a subscriber to Monocle.

The Stack is a natural extension of the wonderful Monocle magazine brand, which I have recently become a subscriber of. With its nod and query to quality media outlets, it educates me about magazines that I might never know about (I just heard the episode on “The Standart”, a coffee magazine (yes, I spelled that correctly). Thank you to The Stack for one more quality podcast and its invigorating content, straight from the heart of Monocle.
