<p>Graydon Carter, the celebrated magazine editor, is the second guest in our New York series. Carter edited Vanity Fair for 25 years and transformed the magazine into the must-read glossy for the intelligent, the curious and the culturally-savvy. He talks to Gyles about his vision for Vanity Fair and why it was such a success, about the four elements you need to put together a good story, and about the famous Oscars Party. He talks about Spy magazine, the celebrated satirical New York weekly he co-founded and ran prior to his job at Vanity Fair. He talks about his long-standing beef with Donald Trump, his love of clothes, and his childhood in Ottawa. And, along the way, he teases Gyles for his "novelty knits" - which you'll enjoy listening to! </p><br><p>This is a witty, perceptive, sharp and fascinating interview with a man who has been at the heart of American cultural life for half a century. Graydon's book <em>When the Going Was Good </em>is available <a href="https://dauntbooks.co.uk/shop/books/whe-the-going-was-good/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a> and is highly recommended. </p><br><p>Our thanks to Graydon for his time, energy and fabulous stories. </p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
