The Print Edition
We started our podcast five years ago because we wanted to talk about the things we’re into. By now you know what they are: travel, style, sports (and airline lounges!) and the details that make those things better. Oh, and we wanted to have a good time. That’s the same reason we started a newspaper: The Print Edition.
We like the idea of escaping the screen and the algorithm and getting back in print. Making a newspaper allowed us to work with our talented friends, like designer John Segal, and some of our favorite writers, Rosecrans Baldwin, Darrell Hartman, Hannah Elliott, Ruaridh Nicoll and Nathan King. We talked to Mickey Drexler, Matt Hranek, Jake Lacy and Tom McGuane. That’s a lot of good people who agreed to be part of a shoestring operation.
We thought that the release of our newspaper was worth getting together and making a little video. So we planned the way only we can: Michael took a redeye the night before and Coggins drank a bottle of wine. We gave hair and makeup the day off.
This was filmed at Libertine, our beloved restaurant in the West Village. Thanks to Cody who let us take over the dining room and Trent for all his help.
We’ll still be coming at you as podcast classic, but hope you like this change of pace.

See you at the newsstand, David & Michael

And I think that surprises people because it feels so modern. […]
