Should You Use a Pen Name? – The Zine Collector Episode 009

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJCfYRQ52lc&w=560&h=315]

Welcome to another episode of The Zine Collector! Today I chat about pen names, what I do with zines after I review them, and a new zine reviewer on Instagram.

Editing Note: I have tried fixing the frozen video clip at 32.36 multiple times, but it’s not working for me. I apologise for not being able to figure it out. It only lasts until 33.19

7 Tips for Finding Zine (And Other) Inspiration – The Zine Collector Episode 007

Oh, gosh. What a day, what a day.

This podcast is a little late, zine friends, but it is here. I’m not sure what happened or why it happened, but I have had a time wrangling with the audio syncing with the video properly. Oooph.

But I made it! Well, as much as I was going to be able to and still post it today. Haha. I think I smoothed out most of the ruffles, though.

Enjoy!

Hello and welcome to The Zine Collector Podcast! In this episode, I chat about my seven tips for finding inspiration, answer the question ‘are you up for trades’, and talk a bit about one of my favourite podcasts.

I had a heap of trouble with audio syncing, so if anything is off, I apologise.

The Zine Collector Video/Podcast Episode 004: 2018 Year of the Perzine Part Two: Consent & Copyright

Hello, dear and wonderful zine friends! It’s that time again.

This episode, I’m tackling issues of consent and copyright when writing perzines (writing about other people). Sort of. This was a big, complex topic, and I will be the first to admit that I wandered and floundered a bit, but I do hope you get something out of it.

Also in the podcast, I talk about the first zinesters I ever met as well as why I love the free, short, mailing list perzine.

In this episode of The Zine Collector, I talk about the complicated matters surrounding consent and copyright when writing about other people in your perzines.

The Zine Collector Episode 1 – Say Hello to My Little Podcast

Hello, zine friends! Well, it’s time! Gosh, I’m so nervous, but I won’t prattle on about that (I do enough in the podcast – haha).

The first episode of The Zine Collector is up in all the spaces. It’s definitely a strange, wonderful, and scary mix of feelings, but here we go. Let’s hope this is the beginning of something wonderful.

Thanks to everyone for the support!

The Zine Collector Podcast (And Video!)

Hello, zine friends!

Last week I announced my intentions to start a podcast, and this week, I finally made a little something! It’s a hello rather than a full episode, but I’ve already learned a few things to take into the first proper episode of the podcast.

I’ve been really nervous about the video side of things, but I decided to give it a go anyway. (I reserve the right to decide video isn’t for me later on, hahaha.) So here it is!

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeV1sxXId28&w=560&h=315]

If you are looking forward to a podcast rather than videos, you can listen to it on The Zine Collector

(Sorry, I can’t seem to embed they’re audio player – yet.)

My head is still spinning a bit with the ‘am I really doing this?’ feelings, but this was a good little step into things. I am really excited to connect with people in a new way, though, as I’ve been enjoying podcasts and videos for ages.

So there we are! I’m going to work on getting the audio onto other platforms as well, so I’ll announce those as they pop up.

Thank you all for the encouragement you’ve given me and for soothing my doubts (which repeatedly rear up) through the whole process. Here’s to a good episode one to come soon!
