As the mercury rises and the New Year looms, it’s time to dive into a period of reflection and relaxation. That’s where our arts editors come in handy, sharing their picks for the very best stuff 2024 had to offer in cinema, small screens, music and books. This issue is pure summer refreshment: take the plunge!
More highlights in this edition:
- The Big Quiz is: a) our annual round-up of trivia from the past year’s The Big Issue editions, b) a great way to test your mates and celebrate 2024, c) entirely ridiculous, or d) all of the above?
- What do the lyrics to your fave cheesy, soft-rock songs even mean? Shaun Micallef is driven round the bend with the inane logic of pop music.
- In Letter to My Younger Self, Stan Grant reveals his “unimaginable, impossible, improbable” career has taken him to the farthest reaches of the world, but his family remains central in everything he does.

Took longer than I expected to arrive, but it was 100% good had the option when I'd no other way to buy it & have it posted to me.
For a great cause. Always a great read. Never disappointed :)
so important to honour 30 years of The Big Issue ... and many lovely encounters with our sellers
long live big issue!
Found the magazine very good reading First time purchase Will be buying more
Really interesting articles as usual and massive congrats on 30 years!
The Big Issue 30th Anniversary Edition 763 is choc full of very interesting and informative articles. I particularly liked vendor Marion's pictorial of Melbourne's Queen Victoria Market and the CBD. The next time you see a vendor do them and yourself a favour. Buy a Big Issue magazine.
Lovely magazine and a credit to the 30 year anniversary :)
Loved the stories, pictures and content of this magazine issue, thanks!
I particularly wanted to read the Rose Byrne piece who was featured on the front cover of The Big Issue, Edition 758. But, more importantly I enjoyed many of the other features in this magazine, in particular, the archive piece on Heath Ledger, the inspiring piece from Deborah Lawrie with her letter to her younger self and Shaun Micallef personal discussion on AI. Thank you for serving up such an interesting magazine.
I must admit I purchased this edition as my son had an article printed in it. When I was looking for this edition I spoke to one of the lovely sellers in the city and he was so helpful looking to see if the article was in that edition. Since then I have found out a lot more about the Big Issue and how they help disadvantaged Australians to become more independent and I think they are awesome. Overall the magazine is very professionally set out and of course has some great articles. Love reading about the sellers
I love The Big Issue calendars and have been buying the every year I can since they started. I missed out locally this time so was very happy to be able to buy it online, thereby avoiding a whole year of FOMO
CALENDAR: I love the alternating pages, where month A is a cartoon by Andrew Weldon, and month B is a profile of a Big Issue seller. FICTION EDITION: 12 short stories, including one by Trent Dalton (Boy Swallows Universe)
Always a great read & printed for a wonderful cause. Keep up the great work.
I ordered online, which took alot longer than my last order & as it appears it was delayed before it arrived recently after about a month?
I've been buying the Big Issue for many years (though not 30). I live in Wollongong, I don't remember seeing a vendor here, but I have often bought a copy when I have to go to Sydney for work. I always enjoy reading it on the train on my way home, as well as feeling good that I have done something to help somebody to help themselves. Love your work, all the best for the next 30 years!
TBH… As a ‘there at the start’ contributor, think it would’ve been good to show some of the ‘early’ editions and people who helped make TBI what it has become… Behind the ‘sellers’ is a lot of pre-production content…
Less speculative fiction. More character driven stories.
