Jefferson Hack talks to the tousle-haired ex-editor of Vanity Fair Graydon Carter about the heady days of publishing on the occasion of his new memoir When the Going Was Good. Carter recounts the founding of the 80s satirical Spy magazine, his friendships with author and journalist Christopher Hitchens and power agent Sue Mangers, the running of Waverly Inn (the historic West Village tavern he took over in 2006), the enduring documentaries he’s produced and the success of his latest publishing venture Air Mail.

WHERE IT'S AT … with Rick Rubin
Back in 2023, Jefferson Hack visited legendary music producer Rick Rubin at his home, a converted former monastery in the Italian countryside. In this archive episode they delve into the origin of Def Jam Recordings, the impressive diversity of artists he’s worked with – from LL Cool J to Red Hot Chili Peppers to Adele, Johnny Cash and the Beastie Boys – and his uncanny ability to harness the creative talent of others, which led to the creation of Rubin’s inclusive and instructive guide, The Creative Act: A Way of Being.

WHERE IT'S AT … with Patti Smith
In her first interview directly after the pandemic, award-winning author, singer-songwriter, and poet, Patti Smith, spoke to Jefferson Hack about her life, travels and dreams, including her first trip to New York in 1967. Their wanderlust-fuelled conversation touches on her spiritual guides – from Sylvia Plath to Jean Genet and Arthur Rimbaud, whose reconstructed childhood home she bought in 2017 – and she reveals how she packs, and the talismans she carries with her everywhere and the special meanings behind them.
