Summer Special
As the mercury rises and the New Year looms, it’s time to dive into a period of reflection and relaxation. That’s where our arts editors come in handy, sharing their picks for the very best stuff 2024 had to offer in cinema, small screens, music and books. This issue is pure summer refreshment: take the plunge!
More highlights in this edition:
- The Big Quiz is: a) our annual round-up of trivia from the past year’s The Big Issue editions, b) a great way to test your mates and celebrate 2024, c) entirely ridiculous, or d) all of the above?
- What do the lyrics to your fave cheesy, soft-rock songs even mean? Shaun Micallef is driven round the bend with the inane logic of pop music.
- In Letter to My Younger Self, Stan Grant reveals his “unimaginable, impossible, improbable” career has taken him to the farthest reaches of the world, but his family remains central in everything he does.
- PLUS: The Big Issue’s 2025 Calendar is a great way to start the New Year off right! Just $20 – vendors directly earn $12 for every calendar sold.
