On this week's episode of Next Gen Galway with Kayte O'Malley we hear all about the brand new magazine for creatives taking Galway shelves by storm.
Hannah Lavelle Editor and Founder of Póg Magazine
After spending time in London, Hannah Lavelle decided to move home to Galway and dip her toe in the world of publishing.
A former student of the Jes, Hannah has always had a creative streak and what initially started as portfolio prep is now a glossy magazine. Hannah talks about living in London and her first experience of being independent, as well as the journey to bring Póg to shelves.
Visual artist Lucy Tarmey is the cover star of the current issue of Póg.

Cadhla Forde is a visual artist, originally from Ireland now located in London.
