First Club Meeting (May 13th, 2020)

Hi everyone! Thank you for joining the Podcast Love. Club, my name is Sadie Mae, I’m your …. ummm host?… no not host, your listening club curator.

I am so happy you are here. I’d like to start this first listening club meeting off with The Memory Palace - Listen to 1 episode, 3 episodes, all episodes, any episode.

I want to start with The Memory Palace because it’s the first podcast I fell in love with. The host Nate DiMeo is a brilliant storyteller, his ability to paint a picture of the story he is telling truly is walking you through The Memory Palace of history.

The Memory Palace is not the first podcast I listened to, that was The History of Rome hosted by Mike Duncan. I started listening to The History of Rome because of my younger brother kept talking about it. So as a bonding thing or to keep up with the cool kid, I started listening. I discovered I love learning about history in podcast form, so from there I found Stuff You Should Know and Stuff You Missed in History Class. Then I realized I could listen to my favorite NPR shows as podcast, I started binge listening to Radio Lab, This American Life, and The Moth. I discovered Nate DiMeo and The Memory Palace after he was a guest on an episode of Stuff You Missed in History Class. I started from the beginning binge listening to every available episode at the time. I was instantly hooked. I love the short episodes, I love how much is packed into such short episodes, and YES I love Nate DiMeo’s voice (obviously).

this passion project is made with love by Sadie Mae and lovingly dedicated to my brother, thank you for introducing me to podcasts.
