Welcome to ZineWiki!, the zine encyclopedia that anyone can edit currently with 5,220 original articles

ZineWiki is an open-source encyclopedia devoted to zines and independent media. It covers the history, production, distribution and culture of the small press.

NOTE: Before adding a project to ZineWiki, please browse the Previously Featured Articles for examples of the best ZineWiki has to offer. Keep in mind, ZineWiki is not a classifieds section, it is an encyclopedia. New entries should NOT contain simply a "sample page" and contact information.

This Month's Featured Article! Zinester Podcasts logo The Zinester Podcasts are free mp3 audio files regularly produced and published by Fall of Autumn, and intended for download and playback through a personal computer or a portable mp3 player. Format Characteristically taking the format of short radio segments, episodes in the Zinester Podcast series each feature one writer's presentation of a selection from her/his zine. Common to the show format is a soundtrack mainly featuring independent artists, though some shows instead rely on soundscapes related to the piece being read, like the radio dramas of the '40s and '50s. Listenership The Fall of Autumn Zinester Podcasts were initially available only on the Fall of Autumn website, however, the Zinester Podcasts were accepted into Apple's iTunes Music Store and in April of 2006, were broadcasted live on the air during the "The Great Sound Caper" hour on CHMR 93.5 FM in St. Johns, NL Canada. In January 2007, the 10,000th individual episode was downloaded.
