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.

Flowering Jasmine as performed by Gidon Kremer and the Kremerata Batica.
Kaspburger by Clogs
20 (Lichen) by Berndan Eder Ensemble
Fall Again by Duval Timothy, Lil Silva and Melanie Faye.

Notes:
My favorite account (among many) of Richard Etheridge and the story of the Pea Island Surfmen is Fire on the Beach by David Wright and David Zoby.
