What magazines do you read/are you subscribed to?

Wolfe Tone

I'm subscribed to the National Geographic magazine and Time magazine too. I love NG as it always has something fascinating and has terrific photographs,Time is interesting enough too.


Anyone else read magazines, or with the exception of OK, Heat etc and that type of thing, does the internet do the job?

Anyone subscribed to anything unusual?

ColeTrain

Yeah the internet does the job for me, read everything online these days. Can't justify spending money on magazines when I can read what I want online for free.

!MAVERICK!

Flying in Ireland, Golfs Digest and Rugby World.

Princess Peach

Love Pick me Up, Love It, Take a Break, Thats Life, Chat.

Where else you gonna get such great headlines like "My cruel husband came back as Splashy, my goldfish," "Gastric Bypass left me starving for sex," "Fanged beast grew by my baby," "I gave birth to my baby on the loo," "Stocking shelves made my vagina collapse," "Squeezing a spot nearly killed me," among many more gems.

None now. A few years ago, before i had broadband, i used to subscribe to a video game magazine. I remember one day leaving the house to go and pick it up, mammy asked me where i was going, i said 'just to pick up my game magazine'. She just looked at me and said 'Oh..' Took me a while to realise what it sounded like i said...

Stellar is just one long advertisement!The fact that is Irish doesn't make up for the OTT product placement and poor writing.

I subscribe to Private Eye.

I subscribe to BBC History magazine and Time. Everything else I blag for free on the intertubes.

QuinnC88

High Times is a fantastic magazine!

Aoifey!

I'll occassionally buy Company or Cosmopolitan, but only a couple of times a year. I don't really like magazines much. When I was younger I used to get them all the time.

ClareVisitor

Four Four Two (subscribed) and New Scientist (buy reasonably regularly). Good bathroom reading material.

I subscribe to Private Eye.

theyre by far not the worst offenders at over advertisement. like many big fat glossies that are 70% ads and feck all articles too....
i dont like u anymore - it was a mag with potential when it first came out. but when it was bought out by another company it changed.

It's excellent, but there's too much emphasis on British history for my liking. Being a BBC publication, that's understandable obviously, but it would make it more interesting if they varied it some more.

You should get the podcasts if you don't already. They interview the people who write the current articles

Doublin

For my Grandfather I set up a subscription for National Geographic. Then I'll read it when I visit.

I used to get The Economist, Time & Newsweek. Dropped Time & Newsweek as I thought too many of their articles were slanted in opinion, seemed to be taking their data from Government sources only or other articles that took info from one source only. At least with the Economist when they are putting off-center opinions out there they put it out as a discussion piece to be debated/commented on. I don't subscribe anymore, but would still read The Economist in the Library.

There's an Economist iPhone app that gives 6/7 free articles every week (editors highlights). They also come with audio.

+1 on Sound on Sound. Only magazine I'm subscribed to or would buy regularly.

I occasionally read Hot Press and Q.

Anyone know any good magazines on music production?

krudler

Games TM , as far as video game mags go I enjoy it the most, Edge is too up its own hole and the other magazines are too aimed at kids.

Used to buy Empire religiously, I had every single issue stacked on my floor from 1994 ish up until 2008 when I stopped buying it. I buy the odd issue now and then to read on a train or plane if I'm travelling but I use their site instead.

Irish Guitarist

I buy Guitar and Bass magazine a lot. I used to buy Mojo magazine (which is about music) every month but now I only buy it when there's an article about an artist or band I like, which isn't often now. I sometimes buy Uncut magazine (which is about music and films) when there's an article about a band I like or when there's some good music on the free CD.

Eh, my post right above yours! Sound On Sound. There was another one mentioned in the Music Production forum recently - can't for the life of me remember it now though...

Ooooh, thought Sound on Sound was a music review magazine. Nice!

I actually like sitting back in a chair with a glass of craft beer reading it. Feel like a gimp, but it's a cracking mag.
