Palimpsest

Happy birthday to us! And Happy Halloween!🎃

Today is the seventh anniversary of our debut! We are so proud and grateful for these seven years, for everyone who listens, for all the love notes and fan art and speculations. We are safe in the aftermath of the hurricane—here’s a photo for proof from our birthday lunch today.

Hurricane Helene has, among the rest of the devastation and loss, delayed everything Palimpsest Productions had in the pipeline. But we are still here, and once we get our feet under us again we plan to plunge forward. Highgate Wood is still happening, and other unannounced projects are still in the table. Our live shows that got canceled in the wake of the storm are being rescheduled for the spring. As soon as we have those dates we’ll share them here. And look for more announcements after the first of the year.

We love you. We’re still here. Embrace what haunts you. 🖤

Hello all— some listeners may know that Palimpsest is produced in Black Mointain, NC, and if you are following the news you know what’s happening in Black Mountain (where Jamie lives), Swannanoa (where Hayley lives), Asheville and the surrounding areas. We’re posting to let you know that we are safe. Hayley has evacuated to family in Charlotte and her house is intact. Jamie has evacuated to family in SC and his house (pictured here, and including the Palimpsest studio) is intact as well. We were very lucky, but our neighbors and the community is devastated. Our hearts are breaking for the loss and destruction of our beloved community. We have no idea what this will do to our production schedule, as that is low on our priority list at the moment, but at the very least our new show Highgate Wood is indefinitely delayed. We will have an announcement soon about something that was already in the works before the storm, but otherwise bear with us for the foreseeable future.

If you want to help, a donation to is a good way to go. Boots on the ground local organizations are in general better bets than places like the Red Cross, which are well-funded and slower to help inaccessible areas. Jamie’s personal account ( ) will be sharing updates and opportunities for assistance as much as possible. We love you, and are grateful as always for your love and support.

We’re stunned and elated to be featured so prominently in the “Digital Ghosts” chapter of the Routledge Introduction to the American Ghost Story! Co-author Jeffrey Weinstock told us a while ago we would be “mentioned” but it appears we are have over three pages of analysis of seasons 1 and 3. When we starting writing Anneliese’s story we certainly didn’t expect to become the subject of academic inquiry. But we’re not complaining, especially since they got most of it right! 😎

We need some new promo shots, but kinda in love with this moody, out-of-focus selfie taken outside Antidote Asheville last Thursday. We look suitably haunted?

A late post for a belated birthday wish (can you tell this is hayley posting), but hey time is fake anyway right?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎈 (AUG 7!)

We love you. Can some of y’all fill the comment section up with favorite memories and kind words? How did you meet? What’s your favorite season/episode/poem/short by Jamie? What rhymes with Jamieson? Do i sense an anagram or acrostic out there?

Make it a killer birthday weekend for our favorite horror wordsmith. 🖤

First draft of our new live show written by hand while Jamie was in Europe last month. Revising in Scrivener so Hayley doesn’t have to read his handwriting. ✍️🏚️

Jamie spent the weekend in London, hanging with other podcasters and wandering the wood. If you know Wooden Overcoats, Cry Havoc, the new Missy audio series (Doctor Who) or a host of others, then you’re already in love with Beth Eyre’s voice. And Sara Lynam is one-quarter of the creepy theater/audio troupe Uncanny Collective, and among other things the voice of the Great Capybara in the Sky in Goat Simulator 3 (😱). Go forth and know them better!

We may be working on a new show, but nothing’s stopping you from binging Palimpsest from the beginning! 😂

Thanks to for spreading the word. And if you don’t know them, consider this a sign to check them out! 🖤

Thank you to everyone who listens to our show. We would never have believed when we started this in Jamie’s basement that it would grow into fifty-five episodes, five complete story lines, live shows, and more to come. And one million downloads. We are so grateful.

And to express that gratitude, later today we are announcing our next project, a new show from Palimpsest Productions. Watch our feed on your favorite podcatcher and watch this space.

Thank you for embracing what haunts you. 🖤

We’ve got some announcements to make, and we’re gonna make the first one when we hit 1,000,000 downloads, likely in the next week or so.

Mabel is hanging out in the studio today, and she says you’re gonna love it. 🖤

Happy birthday to our composer, Ian Ridenhour! In addition to revamping the theme music every season, he creates all incidental music and some miscellaneous sound effects. (That string quartet in the Christmas episode? All Ian). He makes us sound amazing!
