The fourth annual Atlanta Zine Fest kicks off this Saturday, June 11. Zines are essentially handmade magazines. They’re not created to make a profit, but as a form of self-expression. This year’s theme is “Digital DIY” and will include workshops and discussions on digital tools in zine-making. We speak with Atlanta Zine Fest founder and Mumur Media Executive Director Amanda Mills about zines in the digital age and the DIY community in Atlanta. 

 

Also, for National Iced Tea Day, we dive into the little-known origins of a Southern staple: sweet tea. These days you can find it just about everywhere in Georgia. However, there was a time when sweet tea was more rare. Producer Sean Powers pours up a tall glass of history.
