Like an whole box set of Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends, or book of Jon Ronson's adventures with extremists, this British magazine travels the world to hang around with those on the margins of society, some further into margins than others and crams all their bizarre stories and life experiences into 136 page. It's a ticket out of whatever echo chamber you're social media has railroaded you down. There's stuff in here you won't find anywhere else.
Made by a long-term friend of mine, the photographer James Cheadle, and his feature-hunting 'husband' Martin Pashley, we love the mag so much we stock it in our online shop (even if I'm bored stiff of the whole 'finger to the photographer' default biker pose).
