- Is print media making a comeback? Has Gen Z done what those before couldn't and made print trendy again?
Naomi, Alex and Kenny are joined by Cal Roscow, the founder and Editor-in-Chief of Paperweight, a new magazine for people who are 'fed up with the way things are, but who still have the curiosity to imagine them completely differently'.
They talk paywalls, enshittification and the earnestness of left-leaning media (you know what we mean...).
PLUS more of the heroically petty local issues that wind our listeners up, because we love the sound of wailing :-)
