The world of publishing in digital and analog form changes underneath us seemingly every day. Sorting out the flux is regular host Glenn Fleishman, the owner, publisher, and editor of The Magazine. With a rotating set of co-hosts, the Periodicalist will explore breaking events and long-term changes in publishing, whether periodicals, print books, ebooks, or one-off projects.

The show will be a conversation between hosts, with occasional expert guests. The show will delve into technology and technical matters, including some of the nitty-gritty details. Some episodes will feature site visits to physical manufacturing plants and other interesting venues.
