More Rosebud in NYC - Graydon Carter
6/9/20261 hr 2 min
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!
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 When the Going Was Good is available here and is highly recommended.
Our thanks to Graydon for his time, energy and fabulous stories.
