#37 : TOM maryniak
Cover BY : tom maryniak
editor’s note:
There is such a lot to look forward to in the New Year, but as we are all aware some challenges endure. We can all help. Our New Year resolution is to do a few little things rather than one big statement promise.
One: exchange a product that you'd usually buy online or in a supermarket, to purchasing it from a local indie store.
Two: listen to music of, or buy a piece from, an artist from your hometown.
Three: go to a restaurant or bar that you've never been to before. Done.
In this edition, we pull at the heartstrings with producer Bobby Harvey, celebrate Victorians farting with Tom Maryniak and sculpt British culture with Meelworm. Elsewhere, we go on a basketball journey with NBA draftee Ryan Richards, back the box office with The Palace Cinema in Broadstairs, go Greek with author Rosie Hewlett and get slammed at wrestling training school.
Enjoy,
Joe / Editor
