This is Recode Media with Peter Kafka. That is me. I am part of the Vox Media Podcast Network. I'm here in New York City at Vox Media Headquarters, but you won't be hearing my voice much longer. Soon you're going to hear Lauren Good, my friend who was formerly my co-worker at Vox Media, she was a writer at the verge. Now she's left for Wired. We're very sad, but we're very happy that before she left, she recorded this interview with Axie Navis, the executive editor of Outside Magazine. We'll bring you there one second. Before we go there, my standard request, if you like Recode Media, because you're listening to Recode Media right now, tell someone else so they can like it too.

Okay, here's Lauren Good, talking to Axi Navas, executive editor of Outside Magazine.

Have fun, guys.

Thanks, Peter.

I'm here today with Axi Navas.

She's the executive editor of Outside Magazine.

She's been the executive editor since early 17. And more recently, she started to oversee

today. Axie, thank you so much for joining me. Thank you for having me, Lauren. It's great to

have you here in San Francisco.

You came from Santa Fe, New Mexico because that is where outside is based, which I'm not sure many people know. No, that's where our editorial offices are. So about 40 of us are there, plus production and the rest of the crew that is involved in putting a magazine together, and then we have sales offices all over the country. over the country.

And I'm going to have a lot of freelancers as well.

Freelancers all over the world.

Right. putting a magazine together and then we have sales offices all over the country. And I'm back on a lot of freelancers as well.

Freelancers all over the world.

Right.

So when I first said to Peter that he should invite you on the podcast and he suggested

that I do the interview, I was pretty happy about that because I am a long time reader of

outside.

But I'll, yeah, thumbs up, right?
