Like i just pay for this on my computer once and then i get mailed a little glossy full colour A4 booklet with loads of interviews and articles and opinion pieces all about my interests in it once a month for the next year? I get to leaf through it while drinking coffee in the morning and then put it down after reading a few articles and they’re all written by professional writers not just substack cranks?
I haven’t gotten magazines regularly since i was a kid and that was just like the Beano’s swansong in the few years before it finally went bankrupt and stopped distribution, so this is all a big novelty to me. Please forgive my wide-eyed zoomer naïvety about this all, but i don’t get how millenials were ever persuaded to give this up for web articles.
(I also got a free tote bag included with my subscription!!! I didn’t even know they did that, they just mailed me a bag along with my magazine one day!)
The Monthly Review is kind of dry, but it’s theory delivered right to you every month.
yeah i like it and its legacy is cool. i have been considering subscribing to new left review as well but it’s quite a bit more expensive so maybe some point in the future i will
