The "Unprecedented" webinar series, by Penn State's Center for American Literary Studies

A piece on the Unprecedented webinar series by Penn State's Center for American Literary Studies. I've enjoyed following this series, particularly because studying facets of American culture that are "uncommon and/or even bizarre" are part of my reason for trying to get into this business in the first place.

Yours truly quoted towards the end, as I'll be moderating the webinar “Serial, True Crime, and Podcasting's 'Golden Age'" on January 20. You can register for that on the CALS website, and I'll post a reminder as we get closer.
