‘The UK’s only magazine’ The Fence has rapidly developed a devoted readership for its scurrilous and very English mix of humour, investigation and politics. Smartly presented in black and red with copious illustration, it’s a unique publication that describes itself as ‘The UK’s only magazine’. Patently untrue of course—perhaps a better description comes from Graydon Carter: ‘The illegitimate offspring of Private Eye and Evelyn Waugh.’ For issue 23, that translates into: lewdly named streets, Jeremy Beadle’s book collection, the international kidnap and ransom market, central London tourist bingo, a history of British child incarceration. Plus art by Paul Cox, Ed Steed, Nishant Choksi, Natalya Lobanova and Davey Jones. On episode 39 of the magCulture Podcast:Editor Charles Baker discusses his magazineListen here the-fence.com
