About

Brought to you in all sanity, anthology zine Beware! is a home for free-thinking left-of-centre types. See it as an island of strident ludicrosity and stretched rationality amongst the tossed salad waves and battered cod portions of your common-or-garden internet.

Beware! started as a print zine, many years ago when the universe was less than half its present size. It is our eventual aim to bring you printed papers once again, in addition to regular online content and ancillary products (e.g. the Beware! Vision series of live albums, available from http://keshco.bandcamp.com).

Since 2021, Beware! has also been a radio station - freeform, non-profit, non-commercial - sharing stories and sounds from around the world, as part of the Pacifica affiliate network. Tune in 24/7 at https://www.bewaretheradio.com, or search for "Beware! The Radio" on Deezer, Radio Garden, Freeview 277, etc. That's our main focus a lot of the time.

This zine-blog is coaxed into life, mostly at 3am, by:
