Melissa Goldstein and Natalia Rachlin are the founders and editors of Mother Tongue magazine, which presents a distinctly grown-up picture of motherhood. Disillusioned by the type of media that was presented to them as mothers, they began, "to poke holes in all the things that exist or have existed historically in this space. Why do they look a certain way and speak a certain way that just doesn't connect to us personally? And surely we can't be the only ones." In this episode they speak about the process of defining a new picture of motherhood, and building a sustainable business out of that initial disillusionment.

Ellen Freeman is the editor of Mildew, the secondhand fashion magazine that's based in Mexico, and which reflects on a whole world of vintage, recycled, and upcycled fashion and art. We delivered the second issue to Stack subscribers in November 2023, and the third issue came out at the end of last year, so I caught up with Ellen recently to find out what’s happened in a year’s worth of independent publishing, including the big change that has seen Mildew officially joining the Broccoli independent publishing empire.
