Does Vogue still matter?

washingtonpost.com/podcasts/post-reports/does-vogue-still-matter/?tid=aud_rsslink&utm_source=podcasts&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=post-reports

At the height of its influence, American Vogue set the standard for taste and fashion. Now, after nearly 40 years at its helm, Editor in Chief Anna Wintour is stepping down.


This announcement coincides with a fast-changing media landscape in which glossy magazines and top editors may no longer be the go-to source for fashion trends and inspiration. 


Today on “Post Reports” fashion critic Rachel Tashjian chats with Colby Itkowitz about Wintour’s influence and whether fashion tastemakers still work at traditional magazines. 


Today’s show was produced by Thomas Lu. It was edited by Maggie Penman and mixed by Rennie Svirnovskiy, with help from Sean Carter.

Myke Hurley Interviews Yours Truly for the Cortex ‘State of the Workflow’ Series

theenthusiast.net/john-gruber-state-of-the-workflow/

Myke Hurley:

For this episode, I took a slightly different approach for the main section, following step-by-step how John writes and publishes an article. I think this is a template I want to follow with future guests, taking a detailed look at what they do from beginning to end.

I’m so pleased with how this interview turned out — I actually think it may be one of the best of my career. I’ve never had the chance to have a one-on-one podcast with John before, and I’m happy we waited until now to make it happen.

We spoke for a long time, and at some point like halfway through, it really hit me that Hurley was asking really good questions. If you’re interested in how I work and the tools I use, you should enjoy listening to this interview as much as I enjoyed participating in it.
