"Sapphic Angst Fest, edited by Georgina Turner from Merseyside, UK, is a fanzine celebrating lesbian representation in the semi-popular British TV show Holby City. "I'm a media academic and I was working on a project talking to fans of a TV show about what it means to them, and the difference that LGBTQ+ representation made to their lives. People were sharing these incredible stories with me," explained Turner. "So a zine that enabled people to express their feelings about this love story between two women on prime time British television seemed not just a good idea, but kind of necessary."--Brokenpencil website.

A Zine about Berena and the Impact of Wlw Representation

Sapphic Angst Fest

Rob Smyth

Jumpers For Goalposts is a fascinating reflection on the history of British soccer, which examines why the charm, innocence, and good humor has disappeared from today's game, compared to the golden days of yesteryear. Smyth considers everything from the huge wage bills, to players' lack of loyalty to their clubs, and their escapades off the pitch. He concludes that the true beauty of football is when it's at its simplest. Including anecdotes from players, past and present, and other sporting insiders, Jumpers For Goalposts is an exhaustive study of whether football has lost its charm—and, perhaps more importantly, whether it can ever get it back.
