Co-founders Kathryn and Rob talk all things Folding Rock with Steven Watson, founder of Stack, on the Stack Magazine Podcast.
It was wonderful to sit down with Steven and reflect on our first year in print. We ranged from reminiscing about our origin story, to Folding Rock’s inspirations and ambitions, the cultural baggage of calling a magazine ‘literary’, and the nuts and bolts of running a magazine.
And there’s no better person to talk to about the importance of print and independent publishing – Steven founded Stack in 2008, offering a subscription that delivers a different independent magazine straight to your door every month. Folding Rock is part of a fabulously kaleidoscopic ecosystem of people and publications dedicated to keeping print alive, and we’re so glad to count ourselves amongst such fine company.
It’s also a good opportunity to peek into the minds of our editors, and get a sense of our editorial process. Submissions for Issue 007: Water are open, and we can’t wait to submerge ourselves in all your wonderful words.
You can listen to the full episode here, or by searching ‘Stack Magazines’ wherever you get your podcasts.
