Brian Dillon

Kicks to the head, hydrothermal vents, teenage back talk and a Russian meteorite all appear within a few weeks of each other, and Brian Dillon treats them with the same curiosity. This is a magazine written by one person, with a martial arts spine running through it.

The karate posts are where the expertise sits. He writes about controlling an opponent through height, width and depth, about learning several forms at once instead of one at a time, and about whether the spectacular techniques are worth practising at all.

The parenting material is thoughtful in the same way. He asks how to build self control in a child, and makes the case that back talk from a teenager is sometimes the correct response.

The marketing posts are practical and short: which platform features to actually use, how to publish the same piece in several places, what to do when the system stops responding.

Every post carries an audio version and a translation link, which tells you something about who he wanted reading.

Pick a subject you did not expect to care about and start there.
