Podcasts, debates, comedy — six shows under one label, built from scratch at AUBG, with a second node already live in Plovdiv. No faculty brief, no template. Students who wanted better media and made it.
Each one runs under its own lead, in its own color, at its own pace. The label is the thread.
The founding show. Weekly interviews with students, professors, and the people who run the place — unfiltered, occasionally too honest for comfort. Everything else grew out of this room.
Visit the show ↗Structured debates and panels with real stakes. Positions defended in the open — not in comment sections.
Visit the show ↗Live comedy — open mics, quiz nights, shows worth leaving your dorm for. The loudest room on campus, and the lowest-barrier door into the label.
Visit the show ↗Founders, operators, students building companies between lectures. Conversations with people who ship, not people who talk about shipping.
Visit the show ↗An independent creator's show published under the Americano umbrella — his voice, his call. The blueprint for how creators join the label without dissolving into it.
Launching Season 4Born independently at the English Language School in Plovdiv and run entirely by its students, it was already publishing before it joined Americano — 400+ YouTube subscribers, 1,000 on TikTok, single videos clearing 20K views. Our first node outside AUBG.

Three seasons out — here's what students, guests, and partners are stepping into.
Season 4 puts the full lineup on screen across Blagoevgrad and Plovdiv. For sponsors, that's audiences who watch to the end. For students, it's a working production to plug into — not a promise of one.
Ticketed comedy nights. Debate tournaments with real audiences. Production services for organisations that want this quality without building a media team of their own.
The Plovdiv node showed the model travels. Next come student-run Americano nodes across Eastern Europe — same standard, local voices. Partners who join now are in the story from the start.
Americano doesn't hand out titles. Every show is run by the person who wanted it most — the lead owns it top to bottom, and that ownership is why the work actually gets done. People who own something protect it.
No experience required. No paycheck yet, either. Bring ownership — we'll teach the rest.
No. Americano started at AUBG, but it isn't locked to a campus — the Plovdiv node proves that. If you're young, driven, and have something to contribute, apply from wherever you are.
Not yet. Season 4 runs on people who want the thing to exist. Season 5 introduces event and production revenue — and the people who built the machine will be first in line when it pays. Ground floor, not charity.
Yes. Most roles never face a lens — editing, writing, organising, design, social media. For on-camera roles, a point of view matters more than polish. Polish is teachable.
Depends what you take on. Show leads own their vertical — that's real hours. Operators commit to their show's rhythm. Either way, you'll know exactly what's expected before you say yes to anything.
Yes — put it in your application. New formats happen when the right person shows up already attached to one. Dating Americano is still waiting for its lead.
Use the form below or email yappingamericano@gmail.com directly. We work with businesses and brands that want young, engaged audiences in Bulgaria and beyond — every partnership is scoped per vertical and per season.
Six shows across two cities, made by students the audience knows personally — which means your brand isn't an interruption, it's part of the show. Five more verticals go live in September 2026. This is the earliest, and cheapest, this seat will ever be.
Verbal mentions, credits, on-screen presence. The visibility tier for businesses near campus.
Consistent placement across episodes and social — scoped to one vertical or spread label-wide.
Full integration: co-branding, events, content built around your goals. First right of refusal for Season 5.
