Members gain access to our new Inside Zero Books Podcast. This is a second hour of the Zero Books podcast every week that will feature conversations about the left and left publishing with members of the Zero Books editorial team. That is you’ll hear from Ashley Frawley, Douglas Lain, C Derick Varn, and Alfie Bown as well as they discuss political theory and/or the ups and downs of radical publishing within a clickbait culture. Zero Books Club members will be invited to participate in bi-monthly online workshops in critical theory or philosophy run by Zero Books authors. Upcoming workshops will feature Daniel Coffeen and Mike Watson on Deleuze and Conceptual Art. Members get access to audio books from our Advancing Conversations book series on a quarterly basis. Upcoming titles include conversations with longevity researcher Aubrey de Grey, satirical novelist Geoff Nicholson, and Zippy the Pinhead cartoonist Bill Griffith. And members will also receive occasional promotional discounts on selected Zero Books titles and the knowledge that they’re supporting an international Critical Theory and Left Politics publisher, on the Guardian described as “One of the most exciting radical presses of the moment.”
