Welcome to the After Magazines podcast!
I'm an NYC-based magazine journalist as well as a member and huge fan of the After Magazines Facebook Group. Earlier this year, I started toying with the idea of creating a podcast for the community. There are so many smart, fascinating members with stories to tell, and so many other ways for us to help each other find that next great endeavor. I took the idea to group founders Chandra Turner and Jillian MacKenzie, and they were instantly supportive, so I decided to run with it. And here we are.
I myself am a veteran journalist with a magazine history that includes tours of duty at Entertainment Weekly, Billboard and a few other print titles. I've recently pivoted to add e-commerce and content marketing work to my profile, and the ideas, connections and inspiration I get in the After Magazines Group have been really helpful in making that transition.
This weekly podcast will provide tactical advice After Magazine professionals can use to further their careers. I'll talk to members of the After Magazines community sharing what they've learned in their journeys, career and life coaches who can give advice specific to our community, and the AM Group founders themselves, of course.
Please subscribe and let me know what you think and what you want to hear moving forward.
Glad you're here!
