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
The Return by Library Tapes
Erased Duet by Valgeir Sigurdossen

Notes
Totally recommend Bruce Levine’s Thaddeus Stevens: Civil War Revolutionary, Fighter for Racial Justice.
I encourage you to check out the Thaddeus Stevens Society.
