june 17: zines, histories and the apocalyptic future



gender fatigue listeners will be well acquainted with our show this past week which featured an interview by bent with zinesters/authors/historians/activists cindy crabb and erick lyle. they are on tour and recently visited the DC area reading from their zines and books, including cindy's long time zine "doris" and erick's new book "on the lower frequencies" which is largely a collection of his zines and newspapers "scam" and "turd filled donut" among others.


we hope to have the interview up here soon, but in the meantime check out "on the lower frequencies" which has been published by soft skull press.






and check out any issues of "doris" including the compilation published in 2005 by microcosm. cindy also compiled and edited the amazing "support zine" about supporting survivors of sexual violence, which you can from microcosm as well.



indeed, it is really important to understand history as we think about the present and future, apocalyptic or not.
