Academy
As a member of the Idler Academy you will enjoy over 85 online courses in philosophy, husbandry and merriment. You’ll also get free entry to our Thursday evening “Drink with the Idler” online events (standard tickets are £7.50) – previous guests include Stewart Lee, Paul Theroux, Michael Palin, Sally Phillips, Ruby Wax and Adam Buxton. You’ll enjoy full access to “Idle Thoughts” articles, Idler audio and video channels, the digital issue of the Idler magazine edited by Tom Hodgkinson, and a complete back issue archive. And you can comment on blogs.
Join fans such as Dominic West who says, “the Idler offers me the chance to learn about everything that really matters and a respite for what we are told really matters – like working hard for your boss” and Emma Thompson who says “the Idler is better than drugs”.
Sally Phillips comments, “The absurd, apparently useless or bizarre concerns of the magazine – Latin, ukuleles, handwriting – have over the years given me a deep joy bordering on the religious” while contributor Michael Palin reckons, “the Idler’s appeal and relevance seem to increase by the day.”
