About this podcast
Z.A.P was formed on the basis that there is a lot of good, quality journalism out there reporting on things that matter in the world. However, there’s also a lot of quality journalism reporting on absolute trash. That’s where we come in. Here at Z.A.P headquarters we aim to make the good trash, treasure. Each episode we’ll be dissecting and analyzing a completely weird and wonderful topic, inspired by true events. It’s going to be strange, hopefully entertaining – but most of all; it will be a lot of fun. At least for us anyways. And the 3 people that might listen to this.
