This what some folks say about mediageek zine #1 (still available):

"Frankly, this is a publication that could fill a gaping void in a zine world that does a lot of preaching to the choir." -Dan Taylor, Xerography Debt #13

"I found every piece in this zine to be informative, helpful and encouraging. Definitely recommended to anybody who needs media creation demystified or just wants some good advice on making their own." -Rick Bradford, Poopsheet
