As I’ve said before, the new issue of Stay Free! magazine is out, and available throughout Brooklyn.
I have one article in there and contributed to another. Zinester conducted three great interviews including one with Jake, the cover model for this issue and a Park Slope institution. Francis Heaney also has an interview with excellent local comic Eugene Mirman. This stuff is just the tip of the iceberg in a great issue.*
Even Gawker has taken notice, so shouldn’t you?
* For those of you who haven’t bothered to click through to the table of contents, this is for you.
Zinester’s other interviews are with Lisa Heinzerling and Frank Ackerman, the authors of Priceless (how cost-benefit analysis is manipulated to serve political ends) and Liza Featherstone, the author of Selling Women Short (how Wal-Mart discriminates against women). Both interviews (and of course, the underlying books) shed a lot of light on topics that the mainstream media rarely touches.
There are articles on the history of Chuck E. Cheese’s, a jewish Brooklyn teenager who was turned in to the FBI because he looked like this guy, the Gowanus canal, flavor chemistry, home movie preservation and a lot of funny, well-written articles that defy three-word description.
Seriously, get yourself a subscription. Or buy one for a friend.
