Read a transcript of this episode on Substack here.

Our topic today: The ongoing plagiarism scandal that hit literary magazines around the country. To learn more, I spoke with Professor Mike Czyzniejewski, editor of Moon City Review, Missouri State’s literary journal. Mike is a returning champion on the podcast: We spoke about Moon City Review back in March 2022.

Mike teaches a Small Press Production class which focuses on Moon City Review. This scandal has furnished endless discussion starters in his class of late. “It gives us this huge topic to talk about,” said Mike. “And then we had a lot of followups. I've given kind of a daily update about this as the stories evolved.”
