A note on shownotes. In a perfect world, you go into each episode of the Memory Palace knowing nothing about what's coming. It's pretentious, sure, but that's the intention. So, if you don't want any spoilers or anything, you can click play without reading ahead.

Music

• Philharmonics (Piano Sessions), from Agnes Obel.

• Pre-Barok by Mica Levi and Oliver Coates.

Notes
