SWILL Origins

From Radio SWILL · 26:20

Show by Neil Williams

In this premier episode, I mine old issues of SWILL to tell the story of how the science fiction op-ed fanzine SWILL emerged back in 1981. The further iterations of SWILL: Daughter of SWILL, Mother of Scum in the mid-1980s, SWILL Online in 2001, and the revival from 2011 that is ongoing as an annual print fanzine. Radio SWILL brings SWILL to the new medium of audio podcasting. Advisory: Please be advised that this episode contains content that has been adapted for audio of previously published material from the science fiction fanzine SWILL. SWILL was, and to a much lesser extent still is, a print fanzine that has always published controversial, sensitive, and crude humour print content. The audio format is also controversial, sensitive, with historically crude humour spoken-word content, and is under an Explict content tag, and may contain heavy profanity, vulgarity, mature themes, and material that some listeners may find offensive. House of Thunders and UlduneMedia are presenting this material as it appeared in print; much of this material was published 45 years ago and in the context of that time period. This should be viewed as Sensitive Content that does not always portray all persons or groups in a positive light and may present some persons or groups in a negative manner. House of Thunders and Uldune Media are presenting this historical material in an audio format, and it is not our intention to engage in any systemic discrimination or marginalisation based on race, religion, gender identity or expression, sex, ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, veteran status, age, disability, or other characteristics. Please be aware of these advisories when choosing to listen to this audio spoken-word programme.
