About the podcast
Palimpsest is an audio drama about memory, identity, and the things that haunt us. The first season, Anneliese, tells the story of Anneliese Glaser, who is still mourning the death, years earlier, of her sister Claire. The podcast is presented as Anneliese’s audio notes to her former therapist as she works through her feelings about her sister, but soon takes an eerie turn to document hauntings in her new apartment, as well as Anneliese's potentially flawed memories of Claire. As Anneliese experiences more hauntings, she is forced to confront disturbing truths about her own past. The season ran bi-weekly from October 31st, 2017 until March 6th, 2018.
As of November, 2018, Palimpsest has passed 75,000 downloads, and boasts listeners all over the United States, Canada, the U.K., and Europe.
Season two, featuring a new story and character, launched on September 4th, 2018, and is running biweekly for ten episodes. It follows Ellen, who is running from her family's criminal activities and finds herself working in a very unique freak show.
About the creators
Jamieson Ridenhour writes and produces Palimpsest. He is a novelist and playwright, and the creator of the short animated horror films Cornerboys and The House of the Yaga. His play Grave Lullaby was a finalist for the 2012 David Cohen Award from the Kennedy Center for the Arts, and it also deals with a haunted woman whose past won’t stay in the past. Perhaps he has some preoccupations. Jamie’s writing in all media is featured at his website.
Hayley Heninger is the co-creator of Palimpsest and the voice of Anneliese. Hayley is a film and stage actor, best known for her role in the web series Transplanting and as the adorably murderous Jenny in the short film How to Love Your Demon. She and Jamie met when she starred in his play Terry Tempest: the Final Interview in early 2017. She also dabbles in writing and modeling.
Ian Ridenhour composed the Palimpsest theme and the incidental music in each episode. Ian is an indie rock artist and composer described by Sav Buist of The Accidentals as sounding like "Jack White and Ben Folds had a baby." As well as playing festivals across the southeast and headlining listening rooms in western North Carolina, Ian has shared the stage with The Accidentals, BJ Leiderman, The Blind Boys of Alabama, and Third Eye Blind, among others. His latest album is Ribcage. You can hear more of Ian's work here.
Megan Lee designed the Palimpsest logo. Megan first began creating science-themed work in 2010 after seeing a biography on Nikola Tesla that sparked an intense interest in science and inspired an idea for combining her love of art and love of learning. Find her at her website.

Season One Reviews:
“A brilliant blend of gothic, horror, and psychological thriller [. . .] I was compelled from Episode One by Anneliese’s voice and the haunting soundtrack.”
--Amy Carol Reeves, author of the Ripper series of YA horror novels
“Good horror is deep; it makes you think and question. When it’s at its best, a first-person ghost story makes me wonder whether the scary stuff is supposed to actually be happening or if it’s all in the narrator’s mind. No spoilers here, but the combined efforts of Jamieson Ridenhour and Hayley Heninger create a high-quality, realistic thriller that definitely delivers the chills. The writing and acting are absolutely spot on.”
--David Voyles, author and host of Dark Rides haunted tours, Asheville, NC
“I love this haunting ghost story—it’s not just about the spooky kind of ghosts, but the kind that haunt you personally, in your dreams and your heart. It is a delicately handled podcast, with a strangely entrancing narrator [. . .]”
--Elena Fernández-Collins, audio drama writer at Bello Collective and
creator of the Audio Dramatic newsletter
"Palimpsest isn't a scary story that happens to have a plot: it's a rich, deep story that uses its genre to tell a truth. [. . .] The overall effect is a podcast that feels sophisticated, lasting, and profound."
--Wil Williams, Wil Williams Reviews
“If you are searching for a hauntingly beautiful look inside the human psyche immersed with glimmers of the tireless ghosts of your past, this is the podcast for you. They show you the ugly, haunted truth hidden within us all. A soul-searching auditory masterpiece.”
--Katie DeCario, via Twitter
“I binged the whole season in two days. The narrator is a wonderful actress, so natural and strange and sweet. The writing is phenomenal—conversational, poetic at times, suspenseful, even humorous. The story is a slow burn. The sound effects are sparse and effective. […] You learn what palimpsest means in the third episode […], but the meaning changes episode to episode as the story unravels.”
--BookGirlSV, via Apple Podcasts
“I binged listened this podcast today and I loved it. It really made me feel like I was there with Anneliese, I could see everything she talked about and I could feel everything she felt. It moved me, it surprised me, and it made me Feel Things, which I was not expecting from a ghost story. The writing was beautiful as well, and the voice actress is phenomenal, she communicated so much with the little nuances of her voice. I loved this podcast so so much.”
