The Memory Palace is a proud member of
Radiotopia from PRX.
Music
We move between three different pieces from Camille Saint-Saens':
Suite, Op. 90: II Menuet, and two from Carnival of the Animals:
Aviary and the Cuckoo in the Heart of the Woods.
We hit
Juneau from Danny Bensi and Sander Jurriaans' score to Wildlike.
And
The Waltz from their score to 5 to 7.
And there's a total gem from George Mukabi called
Dila Ni Dila in there too.
Notes
Do yourself a favor and read Frances Hamerstrom's autobiography, My Double Life: Memoirs of a Naturalist.
Do your kids a favor and Jeannine Atkins take on Frances in her book Girls Who Looked Under Rocks.
And then
watch Frances teach David Letterman how to cook a snake.
