I Am Delighted To Find That I'm The Episode Sponsor For Piz/ZA Downtime. I Haven't Listened Yet And I'm
I am delighted to find that I'm the episode sponsor for Piz/ZA Downtime. I haven't listened yet and I'm sure in reality there's violence and stress, but pizza downtime? That's a vibe, I'd support that sight unseen
Tomorrow is Piz/ZA's first downtime, but here's an audiogram preview of what they'll be getting up to in CalazCon!

2024 Fiction Podcast Zine Festival
When: The entire month of September, 2024
Goal: During the month of September, make one (or more) zine of any quality, that is in some way related to fiction podcasts. You can share it using the tags #fiction podcast zine event and #fiction podcast zine festival
On Zines: A zine is a paper booklet that can function as art or an informational pamphlet. These are traditionally very cheaply made and hand-folded.
Zine vs Art Book: Sometimes, fandom or personal projects function under the title "zine" to produce glossy, professionally printed projects. These are more often elaborate, gorgeous group art efforts, and more art books than true zines. You could make one of these if you really wanted to, but I'd encourage you not to, and instead spend just a spare hour (quick), afternoon, or weekend (long) on it.
What should it be about? Whatever you want, so long as it is related to fiction podcasts! Click here for a list of suggestions, or ignore those entirely.
What medium should I use? Literally whatever you like. Hand-drawn/written zines that can be photocopied are traditional, but digital art or documents are fine too. You could experiment physically with all kinds of mediums, too.
Do I have to make them printable to contribute? You do not! While I'd encourage you to if you're able, you can also just make one for yourself.
I want to make something, but it won't be very good. Do it anyway.
I don't own a scanner/printer/copier but would like to make use of one. Any suggestions? Associates who work in offices and schools might be willing to scan or print them for you. You can also check your local library, post office, corner store, and university (in that order, probably). The first three will often charge a small fee for printing, rarely more than 20c, the last will definitely charge a fee higher than that.
Hey, I've got something to add! Let me know! If you have advice to give (to me or more generally speaking), or useful resources, I'd appreciate you sending it my way.

All five issues of the Sherrydown Enquirer – each one of which is a combination Monster of the Week mystery and @merelyroleplayers: Vigil lore supplement – are part of this bundle, along with 60+ more spooky and supernatural RPGs!
In issue 1, Playtime, a teacher disappears during a rainy playtime at Sherrydown Primary, and all the kids say he was eaten by a shark
In issue 2, Cold Snap, something has awoken deep in the forest and now the seasons are all out of whack
In issue 3, Tourist Trap, the high street isn't the only thing that tacky new souvenir shop is killing
In issue 4, Bad Dog, rentacops are at war with the local teens and something savage is taking the chance to mark its territory
In issue 5, Quarry, the sound of hooves and the stain of blood herald the separation of the community into hunters and prey
Plus, each issue comes with details you can use to set your Monster of the Week games in middle England, instead of the game's default gun-totin' US setting!
Usually getting all 5 issues would set you back about £20; in the Supernatural bundle, $20 gets you all these and more than 60 other things, including lots of complete games.
Big ❤️ to Alasdair and The Full Lid!
