The Memory Palace is a proud member of Radiotopia, a collective of independently owned and operated podcasts.
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.
Anyway...
Music
We hear The Icelandic Society of Phallogy from Rob Simonsen score to The Final Member.
And one of my favorite songs, Every Day a Sunrise, A Summer from The Telegraph Melts.
Notes
I read and enjoyed The Golden Age of the Newspaper by George Douglas.
I first learned about Moses Yale Beach and the pigeon reporters in an aside in one of the fantastic stories in Banvard's Folly by Paul Collins, a book you should purchase right now.
