Nobody Cares About Your Stupid Zine
A fun podcast about what else…zines!

“I’ve always been fascinated by books. I love the personal experience of enjoying a book in solitude; it’s a one-on-one experience. The tactile quality and the back and forth, the ability to handle the object draw me to books.”
