- Each Episode Amazes
Dan’s storytelling and research skills are simply put amazing. We’ve listened to nearly every podcast and marvel at the ways in which Dan reveals how people, places and things are so connected. Little known facts and relationships that bring a smile. Each episode seems to bring back memories we had long forgotten.

United States3 years ago - Story Telling at its Finest
This podcast is well-researched and tells the stories that comprise what it means to be human. Triumph. Perseverance. Tragedy. Inhumanity. Opportunity. Beauty. It’s all there. We already know the rest of the story. The Path takes story telling to a new level. Highly recommend!

I would love to have this job! But so glad Dan R. Morris does. Just finished the latest on Charlie Brown’s Christmas. What a trip through time and space. All the dots connected (and he left some open connections at the very end, which I hope means more ideas for more podcasts!) Love this podcast!
Apple Podcasts5Kael, OmahaUnited States5 years ago Dan R Morris takes to time to weave history together in a way I've never heard. No man is an island; and Tracing the Path proves the theory by connecting things we would not have imagined having any business being connected no matter how many decades may separate them.
