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.
