An addiction to publishing in Gym Class magazine

"It's totally out of my comfort zone, but I'm 100% okay with that..." Steven Gregor is the editor and publisher of Gym Class, the magazine that has evolved over the last 10 years to become the magazine-maker's magazine. He published the last issue in 2016 as a fond farewell to print, explaining that he couldn't afford to keep on losing money on his passion project. But the start of 2019 saw the return of Gym Class, again taking magazines as its core subject matter, but with some major changes that have pushed Steven and his project on into ambitious new territory. In this episode he speaks about the excitement that brought him back to publishing, the challenge (and rewards) of handing over creative direction to somebody else, and the magpie-like approach to publishing that has helped to make this latest iteration financially viable.
