A note on shownotes. In a perfect world, you go into each episode of the Memory Palace knowing nothing about what's coming. It's pretentious, sure, but that's the intention. So, if you don't want any spoilers or anything, you can click play without reading ahead.
Music
Philharmonics (Piano Sessions), from Agnes Obel.
Pre-Barok by Mica Levi and Oliver Coates.
Space in Between by Federico Albanese.
Warm Canto by Mal Waldron.

Notes
There are two lovely books I relied on heavily for this story: Something to Prove: A Biography of Ann Lowe, Forgotten Designer by Julia Dockery Smith.
