The Publisher Podcast by Media Voices

In the first podcast of 2017 Chris and Esther take a whistlestop tour through all the media news of the past week, we speak to podcasting guru Vanessa Quirk to find out what it'll take for the medium to become (more) mainstream, and we get a special guest appearance from Alexa herself.

In this lightly festive episode of TheMediaBriefing, the TMB editorial trio discuss whether apps are the future of magazines, the long-term viability of the "Trump bump" and hear from The Memo's founder and editor-in-chief Alex Wood ahead of the tech site's push into the U.S.

Simon Davies of Quartz tells us how the international business-focused news outlet builds innovation and product development into the workflow. Later, Chris and Esther tempt fate.

Empire's editor-in-chief talks to TMB about adapting a print product for an increasingly digital audience, with a focus on experiential cinema, live events (with slime) and digital video.

When is a magazine company not a magazine company?

In the inaugural episode of the TMB podcast, we take you through the fake news epidemic, Glamour magazine's decision to protect a luxury format, and hear from The Economist's community editor Denise Law about the journal's social strategy.
