Volcanic is a general-interest magazine covering work, money, life, entertainment and whatever is currently worth arguing about. General-interest is usually code for unfocused; here it reads as curiosity with editorial standards.
Why it’s worth your time
The pieces take modern anxieties seriously without lecturing. The phone-scroll article gives you mechanisms, not moralising. The AI companionship coverage asks what intimacy software does to relationships rather than gawking at it. And the Cape Town cost-of-living piece anchors a national conversation in a specific number and a specific city. This is magazine writing that assumes the reader has a brain and a life.
Who it’s for
Readers who miss the era when a magazine could surprise you: one page practical, one page provocative, all of it readable.
One honest caveat
The catch-all structure means sections like beauty sit next to history and health; if you want a single obsession, this is a buffet, not a tasting menu.
The verdict: proof the general-interest magazine still works when the interest is genuine.
