“I was born humble, but it wore off!” Mark Twain
Welcome to The Mark Twain Speaks Podcast. My name is Don McNeill and my goal is to bring the wit and wisdom of Mark Twain back to life for the modern audience. I am a Mark Twain scholar and interpreter. Over the past several years, I have performed for live audiences – everything from corporate to nonprofit venues. I have had a passion for Twain’s books and speeches since I was a child growing up in his beloved Missouri. I leave it my listeners to judge my success or failure. My speaking skills were developed with the support and constructive feedback from my Toastmasters family.
