Something moved me once.
That's how all these stories begin for me.
Some historical something, some fact or anecdote, came into my day, usually unannounced, over the radio, at a museum, in a text from a friend, on one of the 700 tabs open on my browser, or embedded in some larger work, and changed it.
Somehow managed to cut through the whir and sputter of life and move me.
Often I don't know why.
That fascinates me.
Why this story?
Why this video?
Why has some other person's experience and memory from some other time made their way into mine?
Why in the rushing, roiling stream of information that inundates pretty much all of us, pretty much every day, pretty much all day long, was this bit of the past the thing that glinted and caught my eye and connected, snapped me into presence, filled me with wonder?
And why was this the thing that stayed with me, sometimes for years,
These things that moved me once.
So often, I think, the answer to that question comes down to this.
In that moment, I knew that that thing about the past was real.
I got it.
I felt that flash of connection.
I understood that that person in the story, or who made that object in that museum, or who was on my screen in some archival footage lindy-hopping, or walking down the street with their child on their shoulders, had once been alive.
Hi, I'm Nate DiMaio.
I produce the Memory Palace podcast and I am the author of The Memory Palace, True Short Stories of the Past.
Yeah, I think that it really comes down to this sort of initial urge I had to start the podcast at all.
