The Isis Magazine
We're demystifying student magazines. Be there or else.
Episode 4: The Party
Now that the dust is settling from a very busy term, we thought we’d ask Paul and Ella from the Business and Events team all things launch party, Youni, and exactly how much money we made this term... This is our fourth and final episode of How to Build a Mag, which means the FULL SERIES IS AVAILABLE TO STREAM NOW ON SPOTIFY ‼️ If you’re interested in writing, editing, creative, or events, this podcast is THE place to start (especially with team applications opening soon 👀).

Episode 3: The Lay-in
If you think the Oxford lifestyle is intense, try the lay-in process for a spin! Or better yet, just listen to our SET team discuss all things negative space, text and art interpretations, InDesign software, and the creative process as a sandwich. We consider the bigger picture of sending a magazine to print but also dig into the day-to day of lay-in: 10am to 10pm, five days of the week. Join Alice, Bella, Jarad and Ananya as we discuss their experience of lay-in, in anticipation of the launch of our MT24 edition!

Episode 2: The Writers and Editors
Want to write? Edit? Student journalism can make it sound difficult sometimes. Let us ease the load a little as we talk it out with our writer’s roundtable. In the second episode of our new series, we move onto discussing the processes involved in making the mag come to life, and keeping the writing flowing while we wait, following the US election with The Count, and our just-launched newsletter. Join Florence, Reuben, Violet, Evie, Lina, Cameron and Zhaniya as we take a whistle-stop tour through it all and answer an audience question along the way (it could be yours - stay tuned)!

Episode 1: The Not-So-Vac Vac
Being on a student magazine during the vac is like throwing a party without the guests: a long set-up with very little pay-off. In our very first podcast episode, we talk Google Meets, our change to no theme, and not actually having any money. Join Bella, Ananya, Kelsey, and Zhaniya as they discuss their not-so-vac vacs.
