Summary

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:

Individuation by Eluvium
Kola - Lighthouse Version by amiina
Seeming by Helios
Portrait Gallery by Luke Howard
Disillusionment for the Emotional Type by You’ll Never Get to Heaven
Clouds by Hiroshi Yoshimura

Notes:

Leviathan: the History of Whaling in America by Eric Jay Dolan was super useful and very readable.
You can find the study on Sperm Whale adaptation in the North Pacific here.
