What's a zine? It's a small do-it-yourself publication, self published, on any number of topics, from the extremely personal to general interest. How do you make a zine? Comics, collage, poetry, essays and rants fill the pages of thousands of zines.
This week Larry and Bruce take a look at the 2006 book Whatcha Mean, 'What's a Zine?' by Esther Watson with Illustrations by Mark Todd featuring contributions by numerous other zinesters. We look at this book as a source of inspiration, how-to on content, format, distribution and more. They talk about the history of zines from the Underground Comics to the Riot Grrrl movement of the 90s.
They also discuss zines as folk-art, preparations for the 2016 Denver Zinefest, and the wave of inspiration brought on by this remarkable book in episode 129 of the Media Montage Podcast!
