# Culture Slop > Independent print magazine and digital platform at the intersection of technology, art, and culture. Season One drops June 2026 in San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, and Tokyo. 15,000 free copies. Culture Slop is published by Andrew McClintock. Every print feature includes a QR code linking to a unique digital experience on thecultureslop.com — extended interviews, live API integrations, art experiences.
