time for another zine !! i was aiming to do one a week for this month, but then i signed up for 96-hour podcast jam event Podcamp, which happened to be running in the middle of it & unfortunately did not leave much time for zining </3
so, i thought i would combine the 2 and make a workbook/reflection activity-type zine because it seemed like a fun theme:) and i was right !! printable scan is at the end in case any other participants would like to do the wordsearch/other activities<3 (+ please tag me if you do !!!)
to be clear, this is NOT an official podcamp thing by any means. i am just having fun with arts and crafts

There's a connection forged here that's unique. The life-altering experiences that people have here is what sets PodCamp apart from other camps.
CAMPER 1
Everyone here has one thing in common. Podcasts.
CAMPER 2
I just love to create and share, man. And the ambience here at PodCamp? Unmatched foley.
CAMPER 3
This forest isn't like other forests. I can feel it.
CAMPER 2
You just have to experience it, man. The heartbeat of the woods. I got it on recording, wanna listen?
CAMPER 2
Dude, what the…
COUNSELOR
From the PBC who brought you PodJam and AuFiCon, we now bring you an experience you'll never forget. No matter how hard you try.
CAMPER 1
You arrive at the camp and you're randomly allocated a cabin with people you've never met before. And that's where the magic happens.
CAMPER 2
There's this countdown? For 96 hours. I don't know what happens when the clock reaches zero.
CAMPER 3
And like… there were these… cassettes… I don't know where they came from…

Okaaaay! Thank you, campers, for sharing the wonderful time you had! PodCamp is an unmissable experience coming to the PBC this September! Check out the Tumblr @podcast-bookclub and the Discord server to find out more.
For those of you who didn't know I participated in PodCamp this year and voiced camper 3 in the trailer for it! PodCamp is a 96-hour podcast jam in which people are in randomly selected cabins (or teams)!
Thank you so much to @podcast-bookclub and the @podcampstaff for being wonderful during this event!
I found out that @normalbroadcast made a zine template and just HAD to fill it in as if my camper had done so/camper 3 if you will!
Thank you for making the zine template open to the public!
This September, Podcast Book Club @podcast-bookclub is hosting a brand-new audio drama challenge for creators looking for a little bit of adventure. 🏕️
Pack your bags and get ready to be placed in a cabin team with fellow creatives for a whirlwind weekend of podcast-making. Your cabin will have 96 hours from event start to write, record, and edit a one-off episode following a randomly chosen theme.
The theme will be selected from a list suggested by the community. Theme ideas can be submitted here. PBC's mod team will be hosting a Twitch kickoff stream on 11th September (time TBD), on which the theme will be picked and the event countdown will begin.
To participate in PodCamp, you will need to join our Discord and complete the sign-up form, which will be posted to the server on 1st September. Questions regarding the event can be directed to server tickets, askbox/replies, or [email protected].
PodCamp is free to enter, though if you wish to support PBC's community efforts and projects we suggest a Ko-Fi donation of $5. For $10 and up donations, we'll tell you what happens to your camper in-universe at PodCamp...
Return to the wild side on this rustic adventure, hidden away in idyllic forest scenery. From all of us here at PodCamp, we promise you and your fellow campers will experience the world in a way you never have before.
@podcampstaff is your one-stop shop for updates and news from camp, run by our very own camp counselors.
