the memory palace

Both the best of its kind and one of a kind. The stories are compelling, curious and important, plucked from annals of U.S history that I (a European) would never have found alone. But each one is told in a way that makes its survival seem miraculous and unforgettable.

I’ve listened to the first 35 or so podcasts and kept up to date since 2017. They are extremely compelling either because the subject matter is relevantly new to me and/or the treatment is insightful, thougthful and usually provides a new angle. The writing is excellent and the narrative voice appropriately toned without going over the top. I’m hooked.

Great podcast. I like the tone and the stories explained. I would like it so much if we europeans would make a best job of explaining our past in individual form.

Meh. Not too interesting. His narrative style is okay but his consistent focus on white men is BORING.
