Twenty-Four Hours is a literary zine and music zine put out by Josh Medsker starting in 2001. He began the zine in Japan, then moved to Austin, TX., and then New York City.

Twenty-Four Hours has featured work from many Austin-based writers and comics artists including: Tim Doyle (Amazing Adult Fantasy), Ben Snakepit (Snakepit), and Ben Brown (Words Words Words, So New Media, as well as prose-poet Annie LaGanga.

In earlier issues, Twenty-Four Hours also featured fiction and poetry from writers around the country. There have also been interviews with writers such as Neal Pollack and, more recently, Aaron Cometbus.

In Dec. 2011, he combined his other two zines, Noise Noise Noise, and Teach, with Twenty-Four Hours, widening its focus to include comics and music, as well as literary and cultural concerns.
