Lo-fi, hand-built, fiercely independent and often with a healthy dose of humour and anarchy, zines are a fascinating form of publishing.

The history of them in Aotearoa New Zealand is equally so.

Zine expert (and the creator of the country’s longest-running zine, Incredibly Hot Sex with Hideous People) Bryce Galloway joins Jo Randerson to dive into the characters, movements and zines that comprise the form’s compelling story in this part of the world.

From the first punk-rock music zine in 1980, to the boom of zinefests in the early 21st century, Galloway will show some landmark examples and discuss why this handmade form has endured through generational, societal and technological shifts.
