    Episode 27 - Zines Galore!

    Ah, there you are. I didn't see you there, I was just so buried in my book. I'm quite the reader you know: books, articles, crossword puzzles, billboards, the backs of shampoo bottles, my own headstone in the dark visions gifted to me by the old shawled woman with the glass eye. You know, just reading things.Sorry for the delay, Bob and I have a lot on our plate, but we've still got enough time for a zine or two! This episode, peel the pages open to explore the radical tool Electric Zine Maker https://alienmelon.itch.io/electric-zine-maker, the anthropological I'm Worried About Wine Moms https://beatingthebinary.itch.io/im-worried-about-wine-moms, the honestly reflective Sketch Of A Job That You Had https://hyperlibrary.itch.io/coffee-zine, the fan-tastic Arkham Gallery Zine https://pi3shark.itch.io/arkham-gallery-zine, the chillingly formatted The Frost Papers https://arcanagames.itch.io/the-frost-papers, and the depressingly relevant I Am Making This Because A Computer Cannot https://nickyflowers.itch.io/im-making-this-because-a-computer-cannot. They're all very worth the short amount of time they ask from you.Our theme music is Busy, Busy by Twinkle Park https://twinklepark.bandcamp.com/
