About this episode

The Memory Palace is a proud member of Radiotopia from PRX.

A note on notes: We’d much rather you just went into each episode of The Memory Palace cold. And just let the story take you where it well. So, we don’t suggest looking into the show notes first.

Music

  • Midnight Moon from Annalisa Tornfelt and Gideon Fraudmann’s album, Spring Breakup: Songs for Alaska.

  • A couple of numbers from Marcelo Zarvos’ wonderful score to the wonderful, Please Give.

  • A remarkable piece of music called Spectacle of Ritual by Kali Malone

  • And another called Pauvre Simon from Sylvain Chauveau
