I really enjoy Courier, one of the only magazines I still get excited to read each month

Lots of stories about founding small tech and non tech businesses across the world, from DTC brands to restaurants to delivery companies. Always great stories about how founders got through a journey, intersped with top quality advice and tips. And celebrates lots of folks who do a craft just for the sake of it. Delightful read

I've been reading the Economist for about 10 years. It provides great coverage on big issues, and recently, some fun ones (billie eilish comes to mind). It's unique in that it feels "slower", more deliberate, and thoughtful than most newspaper/tv channels. It gives context and covers multiple viewpoints before giving an opinion. Its daily espresso newsletter and quarterly tech issues are always interesting too. I've…

If you like the Economist then you might like Bloomberg Business Week. I know I expected it to be bad but it’s actually wonderful. The design team is amazing. I find it the perfect mix of business/economy and pop culture. Often there are 2 or 3 long form articles on a truly fascinating subject.

Private Eye. Probably only of interest to those in the UK (Ireland has The Phoenix, which appears superficially similar at least). As far as I'm aware it's the only widely distributed investigative journalism magazine. You get to read about some scandals months or years before they break in the news, plenty never make it of course. There are a number of regular features but the one on the state of national health by…

The crossword is also amusing

Love the Economist.

At previous work, we had Financial Times subscription. It, obviously, is a more finance-bent, but I find it a delight in journalist professionality and the deepness of commentary.

The weekend edition gives a more eclectic mix of topics and is a really informative read.

I simply love FT.

Nature. There is front matter that is quite approachable, including introductions to the main articles.

The main articles are more readable than you might expect -- pick up a copy at a university library to give it a try.

My only wish is that they offer an every-other-week subscription. A year of Nature is a lot of material.

Started reading more in print magazines to help pass the lockdown time.

In general, I'd recommend Monocle to just about anyone. The articles and photography are top notch: https://monocle.com/magazine/

Logic Magazine (https://logicmag.io/) is the only one I truly care about. I don't have their entire catalogue, but I've read everything they've produced in the last year or so. They've recently released a couple of ebooks and I'm slowly making my way through them. I'm surprised nobody mentioned them yet.

Other than that, I occasionally read 2600 and Jacobin, though I'm not as engaged with them as I am with Logic.
