The American Studies Tapes

The American Studies Tape is a culture podcast from the minds behind American Studies, the magazine obsessed with performance, identity, and the aesthetics of influence. Each episode is a conversation with the people shaping the moment — actors, artists, auteurs, and the occasional internet icon — about how they move through culture, and how culture moves through them. It's smart, stylish, and just a little bit haunted by every passing decade. New episodes drop whenever it feels right
