Hi Mr DiMeo
I absolutely love your work.

Last week I was so thrilled to hear your voice on Karina Longworth’s podcast last from a years back. Your storytelling style voice are just terrific. I really hope you get a chance to do a live show in the Philadelphia area sometime soon.

I am a history and literacy teacher in alternative education. I have for many years been using audio clips from oral histories and radio documentaries in class and would like to use some of your work.

I wonder if you have ever released transcripts of your shows (Weak readers often benefit from listening and reading along.)

Although I thoroughly appreciate the problems it might cause, I would be happy to pay for the priviledge.

Peace,
Godbless,
and Thanks for your good work;

pat

[…] Palace – bite-sized history with a deeply human, deeply emotional bent. My favorites so far: a slave chooses freedom over the reason he wanted to be free; the guy whom everyone thought ate the Donner Party; the birth of the telegraph, from the death of […]

In reply to Gloria Choi. Thanks. It's one of my favorites. (Though I did have to look up chiasmus)

I love the chiasmus (don’t mean to sound like a pedant!) you’ve created in this story.

It’s beautifully told, beautifully written, and eagerly heard.

I was completely riveted by this story. I wish there was a way we could easily share it on Facebook with the graphic, a 1-2 sentence summary and an embedded video link.

It’s an interesting and hard story. I like this because it shows how decisions and desires change with circumstances and time.
