“I came across this podcast last week. I looked back at your episodes and found the reading of the Great Gatsby. I had never read it. Very good story and the audio was very well done. Keep up the good work and thanks for the book.”

“Beyond being beautifully produced and presented, this show caused me to rethink how I framed about the value of history. Nate brings a sense of empathy and reflection to stories from our past in a way that, for me at least, opens the door to contemplate what it’s like to be a human through the...”Read full review »

“Just wow. Over the years I have been subscribed this show has made me laugh, cry, and drop my jaw in awe. Somehow Nate packs more life and history in ten minutes than most documentaries give you in 90. He makes history feel like it’s right there around you. He connects you with just the right...”Read full review »

“So, I do learn things while listening to The Memory Palace - all kinds of things - but that’s not really a good description of the show. It’s *stories*, told not just to convey what happened, but in a way that takes you on a bit of a journey, and conveys emotions, overtones, the multi-layered...”Read full review »

“A clever and beautiful podcast. I love that it’s not too long, not over explained. Nate’s voice is wonderful.
My only (very small) gripe is that occasionally there are long silences. I’m fine with them on the whole because they add to the atmosphere, but if they go on too long I end up checking...”Read full review »

“I really liked the podcast and was listening to the first casts but starter to just go with the most recent ones. I listen to a few and I couldn’t help but notice the passive interjection of race into them. He chose to inject race into the stories. Technically that could be considered racist...”Read full review »
