The Masters Edition

The Print Edition

To celebrate the return of The Print Edition [http://www.theprintedition.org/] we got dressed up and went to Chateau Royale to raise a martini to the new issue. The theme is sports, which evoke leisure, play and childlike pleasure. Many people enjoy the triumphant thrill of victory. Not that we would know anything about that since we’re fans of the Minnesota Vikings and Cleveland Browns. Maybe that’s why we have an affinity with sad fans—anybody from Buffalo is a brother in or sister in sports suffering. Remember when Vitas Gerulaitis lost to Jimmy Connors sixteen straight matches before finally prevailing. Afterwards he famously said, “Nobody beats Vitas Gerulaitis seventeen times in a row.” That’s the spirit we’re celebrating here. In the pages Simon Mills reports on England’s history of pub games (you can play a sport while holding a pint). Nathan King considers walking to be the first sport. John Brodie examines the fine social nuances of a lifetime playing squash. And Andrew Hyslop shares his wonderful photos of Kentucky horse racing. Many thanks to IWC [https://www.iwc.com/us-en], J. Mueser [https://jmueser.com/], Citadelle Gin [https://citadellegin.com/en/] and our other advertisers for their support. We try not to take sports too seriously and yet they still manage to break our hearts. After all, losing provides necessary lessons in life. Of course it does, that’s how you know the game matters. -David & Michael *You can buy The Print Edition at newsstands [https://theprintedition.org/pages/newsstands?_su_rec=QOpP0fq5MAQK0inUcRtwOKSKO9b3grvj0yIlH-FGuaKO-Hg_Poe9zz-ypi7qZnBw2qpqYNIIuaICS9xtjVS5MKB0EQ3kYRTftq6rXz6biwpgGQuZaLmCG1vFgwpbF6w-Krde2HywxG3Tgir0eXY9HIS49oDT3xf3jEaMmBVgEoIigd3s3D5QZ59-ACM50Ravtkd9WJ2J8iERHWiu5VZVjZVR53PaDzRZkd_boZVw9zjfmUvlj5NHvL2z4PMoQVYKow&_su_rec_id=c5ca73c5-73f2-4f9d-8521-b99c6df2fa81-1777851116] or subscribe here [https://theprintedition.org/collections/featured].

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. And you can order your copy of The Print Edition below.
