Episode 206: The Thundering Herd, The Vanishing American

This show is a proud member of Radiotopia from PRX.

This episode was originally released in November, 2015.

Music 
* Under the credits is Harlaamstrat 74 off of John Dankworth’s Modesty Blaise score. 
* They first meet to a piece called Brouillard (<a href="https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/album/brouillard-version-1/id419449862?i=419449905&amp;mt=1&amp;app=music" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">version 1</a>) from Georges Delaure’s extraordinary score to Jules et Jim. (A <a href="https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/album/brouillard-version-2/id419449862?i=419449939&amp;mt=1&amp;app=music" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">second version</a> comes in later when J.J. Audubon is living the high life in England). 
* We also hear <a href="https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/album/waltz/id646119150?i=646119162&amp;mt=1&amp;app=music" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Waltz</a> by Mother Falcon. 
* I go back to the <a href="http://www.amoeba.com/please-give-original-motion-picture-score-marcelo-zarvos/albums/2929417/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Marcelo Zarvos/Please Give</a> well when the Scotsman arrives at their store. Note: it’s the go-to soundtrack for “People Arriving at One’s Store With A Life Changing Proposition” here at the Memory Palace. Also: go watch <a href="https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/movie/please-give/id397089345?mt=6" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Please Give.</a> 
* The <a href="https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/album/adoptees/id555242925?i=555243051&amp;mt=1&amp;app=music" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">little piano piece</a> is from Nathan Johnson’s score to The Day I Saw Your Heart. 
* Lucy and John titter like plovers to Andrew Cyrille’s dope, skittering drums on <a href="https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/album/nuba-1/id318169158?i=318169617&amp;mt=1&amp;app=music" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Nuba 1.</a> 
* The especially sad bit, right before the end is <a href="https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/album/dream-3-in-the-midst-of-my-life/id1018451607?i=1018452332&amp;mt=1&amp;app=music" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Dream 3 (in the Midst of my Life)</a>, from Max Richter’s giant, From Sleep album. 
* A couple times, including the ending, we hear <a href="https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/album/ralph-vaughan-williams-lark/id691644405?mt=1&amp;app=music" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">“the Lark Ascending”</a> from Ralph Vaughn Willliams. It is beautiful. You should buy it.

Notes 
As per usual, I read a lot about the Audubons and the Bakewells. 
I relied most upon the charming and smart, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Road-With-John-James-Audubon/dp/0396077404" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">On the Road with John James Audubon</a> by Mary Durant, and Carolyn DeLatte’s lovely, thoughtful book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Lucy-Audubon-Biography-Southern-Series/dp/0807133817" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Lucy Audubon: a Biography.</a> 
* Just a quick note: there’s a very enjoyable PBS/American Masters/Nature <a href="http://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/john-james-audubon-drawn-from-nature/106/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">documentary</a> about Audubon. It’s a fun and informative watch. But, I’ll say, you come out of that thinking that things were fundamentally swell between Lucy and John in a way that I’m not entirely sure is supported by the facts. Or jibes with, you know, human nature.

episode 76: Mary Walker Would Wear what she Wanted

This episode was originally released in summer of 2015.

Music

* Under the credits is Harlaamstrat 74 off of John Dankworth’s Modesty Blaise score. 
* Then, we have the most obvious crickets/summer night song ever: the fantastic, perpetually delightful <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/green-arrow/id1023393307?i=1023394025" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Green Arrow</a> from Yo La Tengo’s I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One, which has soundtracked many crickety summer nights for me over the years. 
* The cops roll in to a loop of the very beginning of the epic <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/ptah-the-el-daoud/id72562?i=72551" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ptah, the El Daoud</a>, the title track to Alice Coltrane’s album from 1970. 
* Then we have a mix of two improvisations from Charles Cohen’s “Brother I Prove You Wrong”: <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/cloud-hands/id997744315?i=997744317" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cloud Hands</a> and <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/the-boy-and-the-snake-dance/id997744315?i=997744320" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Boy and the Snake Dance</a>. 
* There’s a brief dip into <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/id355732904?i=355732965&amp;mt=1&amp;ign-mpt=uo%3D6" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Dorian</a>, by Fang Island. 
* The jaunty accordion, typewriter thing is <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/id640600434?i=640601070&amp;mt=1&amp;ign-mpt=uo%3D6" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Biking is Better</a> on Wintergatan’s eponymous album.

The easiest place to find a number of them is to read the excellent site, <a href="http://hoaxes.org/archive/permalink/the_great_monkey_hoax" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Museum of Hoaxes’</a> page on this event. Also: if you’re in the Atlanta area and ever want to have yourself a day, you can see the actual monkey. It’s preserved in a jar at the Georgia Bureau of Investigations museum in Decatur Georgia.

Episode 124: Junk Room

The Memory Palace is a member of <a href="http://radiotopia.fm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Radiotopia</a> from PRX.

This episode was originally released in July of 2016. It’s being re-released today because Nate’s on book leave for the summer and because it’s a total banger.

Notes and Reading: 
* I came to this story the old fashioned way (for me): I saw Su Lin at the Field Museum and needed to know more. That led me inevitably to Vicki Croke's <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Lady-Panda-Adventures-American-Explorer/dp/0375759700" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Lady and the Panda</a> from 2006. It's a terrific read. If you have any interest at all in learning more about Ruth Harkness, that's the place to go. I've got a few quibbles here and there, but, for real, it's delightful. 
* Quentin Young's (slightly strange and contested) version of events is told in <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Chasing-Panda-unlikely-adventurers-mythical/dp/146819609X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1467356056&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=chasing+the+panda" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Chasing the Panda</a> by Michael Kiefer. 
* If you've got a few hundred bucks (or a library with more liberal lending policies with old books than mine), why not read Ruth's own book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Chasing-Panda-unlikely-adventurers-mythical/dp/146819609X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1467356056&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=chasing+the+panda" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Baby Giant Panda</a>? 
* If you're interested in zoos writ large, I'm a fan of <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/0691117705/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_2?pf_rd_p=1944687502&amp;pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&amp;pf_rd_t=201&amp;pf_rd_i=1560986891&amp;pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;pf_rd_r=RQ4CEGAQR1QYPG2PGXQB" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Animal Attractions: Nature on Display in American Zoos</a> by Elizabeth Hansen.

* The centerpiece of the middle section is <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/nz/album/snow-again/id845107118?i=845107140" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Snow Again</a> by Lambert. 
* We hear a couple of pieces by Dan Romer: <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/nz/album/an-old-fashioned-man/id1059435153?i=1059435843" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">An Old Fashioned Man</a> and <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/nz/album/end-of-the-world/id539534975?i=539535295" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">End of the World</a>.

Episode 187: The Woods

This episode was originally released in October, 2014.

The music in this one: “<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/an-ending-a-beginning/id720797189?i=720797235" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">An Ending, A Beginning</a>” by Dustin O’Halloran. “<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/i-am-piano/id492790550?i=492790555" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">I am Piano</a>” by Peter Broderick. Two songs from the soundtrack to “With a Song in my Heart”: American Medley, and That Old Feeling. The one at the end is “<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/ill-never-be-the-same/id285656820?i=285656914" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">I’ll Never be the Same</a>.” My version’s on a collection called “<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/cant-get-out-of-this-mood/id285656820" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Can’t get out of this Mood</a>.” There are also a couple of other Jane things that I found on You Tube. The plane crash stuff is scored by a piece of Claudia Serne and Leopold Ross’ soundtrack for “Broken City,” called “<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/missing-pieces/id907915709?i=907915743" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Missing Pieces</a>.” Then there’s a sound by The Caretaker called “Stairway to the Stars.”

I read a lot about Jane for this but nothing was as useful as Ilene Stone’s lovely book,<a href="http://www.powells.com/biblio/62-9780826214584-1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> “Jane Froman: Missouri’s First Lady of Song.”</a>

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.

This episode was originally released in 2015. Sometimes you’re working on an episode (and when I say “you’re” I mean, “I’m,”) working on an episode and you realize it’s just all wrong. That there’s a good episode in there but you need to take a few days and go at it again. Because you (and, again, “you”=”I”) think it, and you (this time I mean you, the listener) deserve better. And you put out a re-run. It’s a good one, though.
