Hi, I'm Amy Hetherington, the editor of The Big Issue magazine
Our latest edition is out now
it's actually making waves just like our cover star
It's got David Attenborough on the cover
He seems to be a really popular guy
he's probably the world's most famous environmentalist
if not the most favourite
We've got an interview with him talking about
his new series Blue Planet 2
which will be out on Channel Nine really soon
And he's urging us all to save the planet
and looking at how we can protect our oceans.
We also have a big cycling special in this
edition
We've got Greg Foyster, one of our writers,
looking at the way the humble bicycle
has changed the way the way we live, the way
we love
the way we work
And three writers share with us their favourite
stories about cycling
From their love of bikes, their love of lycra
and also getting into some hairy predicaments
while on their bike
We have one writer talking about riding from
London to India
and he gets arrested right at the end in Iran
so take a read of that
he turns out OK.
Another thing that we have is a special on
the Australian Open
in time for the tennis starting this summer
we look at some tennis trailblazers
who have changed the game
From Serena Williams to Billie Jean King
We actually have a 'Letter to my Young Self'
with her.
And all our regular pages are in the mag.
We have a special puzzles pages this edition
Lauren Gawne celebrates her 100th 'By Lingo'
If you ever wanted to know what '–ish' meant
this is the edition to learn that.
And we also have a really colourful crossword
so see if you can solve that puzzler
The mag is, as always, $7
it's jammed full of really great summer reading
just head out to your vendor and
and celebrate with David!
