History

A slightly irreverent look at Mark Twain, his writing, the times he lived in, and the birth of industrialization and mass culture.

Episode 1: The Twain Has Left The Station

Mark Twain dies almost right away, which is kind of unfortunate because we need him for the rest of the podcast. Luckily, we're able to time travel like the guy from A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, but overshoot a little and end up in the American Revolution, where we catch up with Mark Twain's grandpa and dad.
