All the best chats happen out of the office.

In this podcast, Pugpig co-founder Jonny Kaldor joins interesting people in publishing for ambling walks through the streets of London, New York and beyond in order to try and find out what makes them tick. We cover everything from how they started out, what they love and hate about media and the many forces that are fundamentally changing the industry landscape right under out feet.

What will the future of publishing look like? God knows, but we'll talk about it anyway and we'll have fun while we do it...

Big thanks to Matt Prevett, Luke Croydon and Danny Monk for helping produce the Out of Office theme tune!
