Memory Palace: Halley's Comet

In the new episode of one of my favorite podcasts, The Memory Palace, Nate DiMeo takes us to the roof of New York City's Waldorf Astoria Hotel in 1910 where everyone who was anyone celebrated the arrival of Halley's Comet and the possible end of the world.

Thank you for cueing me in to this great podcast.

Great listening, and it’s fun to read the tags under each episode and try to guess the subject.

If you like Nate’s podcast, you might also like Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History podcast.

It is not very frequent, but it is very well done. His 4 part series on the WWII Ostfront is amazing in my opinion, as was his treatment of the Punic wars.

I dig the podcast, but it feels too short and too infrequent. I wish he went more in depth or put out a new segment once or twice a week. It does feel like a hobby, so he probably doesn’t have the time to do more than he already does.
