The American Vandal is Free

The American Vandal Podcast launched in 2020. It is an anthology of miniseries on topics loosely related to Mark Twain Studies, but drawing broadly from disciplines including Literary Studies, Political Economy, Critical University Studies, Media Studies, and American Studies.

Seasons include “Criticism LTD,” “A Tale of Today,” “The World’s Work,” “Social Problems,” “HBO: From Pulp To Prestige,” and “Mark Twain Among The Indians.”

All subscribers will receive all content distributed via this newsletter.

For those who choose to become patron subscribers, I am extremely grateful. All of your donations will be invested in building and sustaining the podcast.

Patron subscribers make it much more likely I will be able to continue this work.

The American Vandal Podcast is sponsored by the Center For Mark Twain Studies at Elmira College, but it is the property of Matt Seybold (bio below), as are all the supplementary materials published here.

This is an open-access, inclusive resource.

Thanks for listening.
