Summary
Hello! Today, we have on Jonathan Shainin, one of the founders of Equator Magazine , a new venture among very smart, thoughtful writers and editors that “is our collective response to a crisis that is as much spiritual and intellectual as it is political and economic. It is a venture that aims to create a more cosmopolitan home for thought and art than the one assigned to them by provincial Western periodicals. It also seeks to restore dignity to the concept of truth, and create a public space where the values of justice, solidarity and compassion can flourish.” We talk about starting a new magazine in this media atmosphere, the need for an international perspective on the world, who their ideal reader might be, and why they still believe in the printed word. A very stirring episode and I hope you’ll take a listen. This is a public episode.
