Chapter 47: Mark Twain

Chapter 47: Special guest-host CARL SAGAN ( Matt Gourley ) welcomes American treasure MARK TWAIN ( Paul F. Tompkins ) to the Dead Authors stage for an evening of steamboats, satire and science! Thanks to The Time Travel Mart and 826LA. 826 National is a nonprofit organization that provides strategic leadership, administration, and other resources to ensure the success of its network of eight writing and tutoring centers. 826 centers offer a variety of inventive programs that provide under-resourced students, ages 6-18, with opportunities to explore their creativity and improve their writing skills. We also aim to help teachers get their classes excited about writing. Our mission is based on the understanding that great leaps in learning can happen with one-on-one attention, and that strong writing skills are fundamental to future success. Last year our tutoring centers — located in Ann Arbor, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington, DC — served over 29,000 students.
