This will be the final issue of The Podcast Reader from the current team. Thank you to our readers and
subscribers for your encouragement and support. And thank you to the podcast channels who have so
generously agreed to share their fascinating work with our audience.
Future issues of the magazine will be digital / PDF only, and will be curated by the lovely people at
Fanfare (www.withfanfare.com). The Fanfare team share our mission of delivering high-quality podcast
transcripts in a format conducive to deep thinking. Going digital-only will allow the magazine to be
distributed free of charge, and broaden the number of topics covered.
Current readers and subscribers of The Podcast Reader will need to sign-up
at withfanfare.com/podread and are invited to submit suggestions for future
content for the magazine.
