Nate DiMeo and The Memory Palace at Golden Hour Books

Join us for a reading and signing with author Nate DiMeo, author of The Memory Palace. DiMeo will be reading from and talking about his new book and his beloved podcast that inspired it.

For fifteen years, Nate DiMeo’s pioneering podcast, The Memory Palace, has turned to the past to make sense of the way we live today, finding beauty and meaning in history’s dustier corners, holding things up to the light and weaving facts, keen insight, wit, and poignant observation into unforgettable tales. The show has made its way into The Library of Congress, as a member of its first class of podcasts tapped for preservation, and the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, where Nate was the museum’s artist in residence. He has performed stories from the podcast in cities all over the United States as well as Canada, England, Ireland, and at a rock festival in Tasmania. His new book from Random House, The Memory Palace: True Short Stories of the Past, collects beloved stories from the show, new stories, memoir, found photographs and illustrations.

He has reported stories for National Public Radio’s Morning Edition and All

Things Consider and American Public Media’s Marketplace, as well as numerous other

public radio programs. He is the co-author of Pawnee: The Greatest Town in America,

for which he was a finalist for the Thurber Prize in American Humor. He has written for

NBC’s Parks and Recreation and the ABC miniseries, The Astronaut Wives’ Club. He

lives in Los Angeles, by way of Providence, Rhode Island.
