Memorrrr

Nate DiMeo's The Memory Palace is one of my favorite podcasts ever. Each episode, less than 5 minutes in length, tells the story of an outré, surprising, forgotten, or secret bit of history. Nate is curious, witty, and an engaging presenter. We're delighted that Nate will be presenting The Memory Palace live at our Boing Boing: Ingenuity theatrical experience on Sunday, August 18, in San Francisco! To give you a taste of The Memory Palace, here are two recent episodes. Episode 55 is about the birth of dance marathons, and Episode 53 tells the story of scientific guinea pigs, starting with fruit fly astronauts.
