On May 12, 2011, EYE WEEKLY became The Grid, a city magazine for people in their 20s and 30s. “A younger, hipper, more provocative version of Toronto Life in a weekly guise,” was the soundbite from publisher Laas Turnbull.
On June 7, some people willing to grill The Grid visited my Queen East recording studio and we talked about the publication, its place in Toronto and its competitors.
I would be remiss not to mention that a couple days after recording the show, The Grid published what I consider their most provocative piece, “Dawn of a new Gay.” During Real Talk, Adam and I wanted this sort of article to become a regular occurrence.
Enjoy.
