Description

Legendary Canadian journalist Graydon Carter joins Catherine Fairweather for Episode Five of The Third Act. Best known as the former Editor-in-Chief of Vanity Fair, co-founder of the ground-breaking satirical magazine Spy, and founder of the digital weekly Air Mail, Graydon has spent decades shaping how we read, think, and stay curious.

In this episode, Graydon reflects on the golden age of print, the thrill and challenge of reinventing journalism for a digital world, and why satire should always “punch up.” He also shares his thoughts on keeping one’s mind sharp, staying endlessly inquisitive, and embracing the joy of reinvention in later life.
