A little too short for my preference, though its great to see a new episode of the memory palace regardless of its brevity.

I just discovered your podcast this week. Wow, I am glad I did. Your podcasts are like mental movies and, while I loved history when I was in school, I imagine that for teens who may not, they will after hearing your stories. I’m going to recommend your podcasts to every teacher I know. Thanks and keep them coming!

I clicked on the image, but it takes me to a page that says “page not found.”

I’ve just discovered your site, and I’m burning through the pod casts. I’m a bit of a history/popular culture buff, and I love this stuff!

Just heard that fascinating piece on JPJ. In 1991, I was a Jeopardy! contestant and the Final Jeopardy subject was “Final Resting Places”, was phrased more or less like this: “In 1805, more than 100 years after his death, this man was reburied with full military honors at Annapolis.” I bet the farm and won $22,500 – a one-day record @ the time.

I can’t believe there aren’t more comments for this episode. Obviously I love all of them, but this one was wonderful. Funny, moving and thought provoking as always. Thank you.

Thank you for this wonderful podcast, it’s one of my favourites!

May I suggest adding some ID3 tags to the audio files before publishing them? Itunes users probably don’t notice them missing (it seems to apply the metadata from its directory to files it downloads), but if you use any other podcatcher with the RSS feed or manually download episodes from the website, even the basic Artist/Title/Album fields are empty. Most of the time I end up having to dig through the file system browser on my phone or MP3 player because I forgot to add the tags myself

Gah, comment left in wrong place!

This is great stuff. Every episode sort of reminds me of the time that I asked a friend, who I knew quite well by this time, to “tell me the most-next-interesting thing that I don’t know about you.” I’m certainly no history expert, but how can a story this good not have come across my path before? Over and over again. Keep it up, Nate.

Not a Civil War nerd either, but first one was appropriately downbeat, but quality, for the topic. What’s next?

I’m so glad that the podcasts will be more frequent now! The Memory Palace is by far my favorite, and as I spend 8 hours a day scanning John Adams’ books, I listen to quite a few. Keep up the wonderful work!

Hi Tomasz, thanks for the note. We’ve had a couple of technical glitches with this episode over here at Memory Palace International Headquarters. Should be taken care of shortly.

Just discovered your podcast today and have been methodically working through the episodes, all these moments of heartbreak. I’m a descendent of the Crowninshields mentioned in this ep, and their role in Betty’s poignant voyagas amazes and dismays me. Thanks for this.

Love the show. But: why this episode has the voice on the left channel and the music on the right one? I tried to listen to it with headphones but it’s really, really hard to follow…

Comment on Back by Michael

Well, it’s about damn time! I hate like hell to get hooked on a podcast, and then have it die. So The Memory Palace is not dead — this is a very good thing. Thanks for all of your efforts; I do appreciate it.

Two humble suggestions: Use a pop filter. Get your mouth about 8-10 inches from the mic. We all love the proximity effect, but it can play havoc with the EQ.

Hey…I’m really glad you’re back.
