Delighted to be a newly badged cross-border member of The Muddlers Club. This latest Nordie Zine from @bryanmmathers is still as funny and cool a read as the first two, but the delving into history is further and deeper and the thinkery is wise and reflective and honest.

He’s much, much worse than I could ever have imagined. There’s deprogramming to be done. #edchat #edchatie #edchatuk
