NewBridge Books (Newcastle UK) is on the lookout for new stock with a focus on building their zine collection. They are particularly interested in finding zines that cover housing rights, grassroots organising, community building, the environment, and solidarity. #ZineSky

Many Y2K popstars made it onto the suspects list for ‘Top of the Pops: A Zombie Whodunnit zine’. Only one was found guilty of so many crimes that I spent an entire page listing them. Anyone wanna guess who it is before I reveal the answer? #totp #zine #zinester #smallpress #topofthepops #zombies

Can I match a zine to your mood? It’s Bandcamp Friday, which means there’s a free mystery mini-zine with every full-size read you pick out on my Bandcamp today. Not sure what full-size zine to choose? Allow this imaginary mood ring to guide you 💍 (1/9) #zine #smallpress #bandcampfriday

Tucking into Pts 1 & 2 of Ep 76 of Chart Music - the pod partly responsible for inspiring my new zine Top of the Pops: A Zombie Whodunnit. The other inspiration was 'hiding from the horrors of 2025 in the warm embrace of TOTP', which is echoed here in the reasons for selected a very pop 1982 TOTP.

The Ex-Zine Editor @bubblegumzines.bsky.social · 30/07/2025

Top of the Pops: A Zombie Whodunnit zine is out in the world! Have I mentioned each cover is unique? If your copy has landed, what stickers did you get? Copies still on Ko-Fi here ko-fi.com/s/5d976aecba. All include a badge. #totp #topofthepops #zine #zines #fanzine
