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

  • Time Beat by Ray Cathode

  • Rabbits of the Void by Tomaga

  • Weightless by the Neil Cowley Trio

  • Scenes from the Poet’s Dreams I: Racing Through the Stars by The Lark Quartet

  • Switchcraft by Chilly Gonzalez

  • Sky Breaking, Clouds Falling by Mason Lindahl

Notes

  • There’s a ton written about The Crash at Crush but the one I’d recommend is Train Crash at Crush, Texas: America’s Deadliest Publicity Stunt, by Mike Cox
