Rough Draft #13 K-pop 101 in 15 Minutes

Rough Draft #16 Off the Rails

Does a project going "off the rails" mean you have an unwieldy ball of cud you keep adding to or does it actually mean an off-road side quest that makes the project get bigger and better than you ever imagined? We know we probably say this about every episode, but this is one of our best.

Rough Draft #12 Interview Featuring Cynthia E. Hanifin

Look at us! Our first guest! Zine Club Chicago producer Cynthia E. Hanifin introduced us to each other via South Side Zine Fest, so of course she's our first interviewee! She is also an organizer for South Side Zine Fest, the founder of the South Side Zine Library and other very interesting things.  We talked to her about interacting with the world through a  DIY lens, accessibility, community, connection, creativity, and the overlap between her work as an arts organizer and a social worker. And a whole lot more, including using Cheez-It boxes for zine holders and a big zine fest announcement.   Links!
