Jeremy Leslie meets editorial creative director Andrew Diprose at the magCulture Shop, and also trades magazine retail experience with Nicola Hamilton, who opened the magazine shop Issues in Toronto six months ago. A passionate advocate for magazines and print, Andrew Diprose was creative director at the UK edition of Wired for fourteen years, leaving last year to lead Soho House group's editorial creative department. While at Wired he also published his own magazine, The Ride Journal (2007-2017), a defining magazine of the then nascent indie scene. After a look at some current magazines plucked form the magCulture shop shelves, he discusses working at Condé Nast (publisher of Wired) and the differences between that environment and producing you own publication. He also reflects on the shift from working on a major magazine brand to developing an editorial identity for a private member's club brand, before revealing plans for his new side project, Superstore Wilderness. Nichola Hamilton shares Andrew's passion for print, and also has a background in editorial design. In 2022 she decided to translate that passion into opening a magazine shop, Issues, in her home city, Toronto. Jeremy catches up with her to see how the retail experience is going as she celebrates six months trading.

Andrew Diprose is the creative director at WIRED UK. In our conversation, Andrew shares with me the story of launching the magazine eleven years ago, what he's learned along the way and how the publishing industry changed in the past decade. We also talk about adapting to change - whether it is caused by the digital media consumption patterns or the COVID pandemic. Finally, we discuss Andrew's biggest passion - storytelling.

Lotte Peplow joins us from the Brewing Association and Andrew Diprose talks us through RootWave It's party season...as offices start spilling merrily (in more than once sense of the word) into the pubs and clubs, it also marks the point where there's no turning back on the dieting front. You won't be this skinny again until at least the end of January when that ‘new year, new me' regime starts to take shape. We fully endorse the idea of listening to this podcast with a large glass, tab or bag of something rather yummy. Neither Sue, Ollie nor Holly need to be told twice. To be fair, our first featured product is something that you definitely cannot consume. It's actually an amazing bit of kit, and a perfect wildcard to kick off this week's FoodTalk podcast. Andrew Diprose is the CEO of the fantastic RootWave. It's the leading solution to organically kill weeds without using chemicals; obviously a fantastic tool for farmers and gardeners alike. We could tell you more techy stuff, but you can check out their video to get a proper feel for it all. Our second guest brings us something that is very easy to drink down…beer. We've met lots of UK beer companies in the past, but this time we're learning about the state of beer from over the pond. Lotte Peplow came to us to explain the role of the Brewers Association in the USA and how they help small and independent craft brewers at a time where the beer boom shows no sign of slowing. Bottoms up!

Andrew Diprose is the CEO at Rootwave, a UK tech startup that aims to provide a sustainable and efficient solution to weed problems by zapping them from the root up. The goal is to reduce weeds without using chemicals which could help solve soil contamination issues. His role is to lead the product and technology department, making sure the technology is safe and effective when it is commercially available in 2020. Andrew joins me today to discuss Rootwave, what inspired him to start this type of technology, and how it works. He explains the need for clean methods of killing weeds relative to soil health and describes some of the ways this technology is superior to the conventional means of removing weeds in farms. He also shares his prediction of what agriculture will look like in the future. “Electricides will be a benefit to society. It will better the environment and the health of individuals.” - Andrew Diprose This Week on The Future of Agriculture Podcast: What are electricides and how does it work in agriculture? Why Andrew believes electricides are the best alternative to herbicides. What inspired him to come up with the idea of inventing electricides. What makes electricides different from using fire and other thermal methods? How electricides are energy efficient and where the energy comes from. Why electricides won’t adversely affect general soil health. The type of plants they aim to use the technology initially. The current stage the technology is currently in and when it is expected to become available commercially. How Andrew envisions agriculture looking differently in the future. Key Takeaways: With soil contamination being rampant all over the world, the need for a localized yet efficient and sustainable herbicide is critical. Electricides protect crops from unwanted vegetation without collateral damage.
