Our first Podcast of 2021 is a special episode dedicated to i-D as it celebrates its 40th birthday. Jeremy Leslie talks to GQ editor Dylan Jones about his first job at i-D, then meets the magazine’s founder Terry Jones and his wife and collaborator Tricia. They discuss the start of Terry’s design career, working at Vogue, and the origins of i-D as a stapled zine, responding to what Terry saw on London’s streets as the liberation of the DIY punk years spilled over into new trends and tribes. We hear about the support the magazine received from Time Out’s Tony Elliott, its subsequent sale to Vice Media, and Terry’s ongoing work with the i-D archive. Jeremy also highlights recent issues of The Modernist, Pin-Up and Quarantimes. Big thanks to our friends at Park Communications for their support of this Podcast. Episode edited by Sam Williams
