In the beginning there was the word, and the word wasn't something you had to Google or ask AI, or that came up on your feed or in an app, but the written word. And the word sometimes fell on your doormat with a thud, and other times it was on paper thinner than the Argos catalogue. And the word was weekly…or sometimes monthly…or occasionally fortnightly. But it was always anticipated and welcome, and your sole source of news about your hobby.

Today we're talking about the magazines that put us on the page.
