Hey buddy, why don't you have to top your head about Amelia Earhart?

Not enough.

I mean, I know she's a big deal.

Like, I know she's this historical figure, but

it's just like this hand-wavy part of my historical knowledge, to be honest.

Which is interesting because it overlaps with a lot of things that you were really into.

But I have to admit, it's kind of a dark spot for me as well.

I mean, she comes up obviously in history classes and all of that.

But she's really interesting because she's an intersection of women's issues in the 20th century.

And celebrity culture and fascinating mystery and aviation mechanical history.

There's a lot to touch on there.

And you know this is Amy Lutz, the keeper of memories.

This is her area of specialization, right?

Absolutely.

Which is why I'm excited to talk to Amy about this right now.

Amy, I'm so dang excited about today.

I'm excited to learn about Amelia Earhart.

And it's really fun just turning these recorders on and not having a clue about anything.

And knowing that you are the guardian of memories.

And you just have all this info.

I grew up in her hometown.

This is kind of almost part of my upbringing.
