Listen "Episode 57: James Roberts, Vanguards magazine"
Episode Synopsis
"To see your little magazine poking out on the shelves is an amazing feeling." James Roberts and his friend Hugo Ross launched Vanguards magazine together while the two of them were studying Fine Art at Edinburgh University. With their studies behind them, the pair collaborated with 12-B, a design and risograph studio in London, to produce the second issue of their magazine exploring Scottish design and brands. In this episode, recorded at the end of 2017 just after the second issue had launched, James speaks about his excitement at seeing his magazine out in the real world, and why the pair plan to move beyond Scotland's borders in future issues.
