From award-winning public radio producer, Nate DiMeo, comes The Memory Palace. Short, surprising stories of the past, sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes hysterical, always super-great. For history buffs, fans of public radio shows like This American Life, Radio Lab, and whatnot, and for all admirers of things that are super-great. www.thememorypalace.us \"The best little podcast in the world\" -- Mojo Magazine history, public radio, memory, this american life, radio lab, npr, boingboing, new yorker Nate DiMeo Nate DiMeo natedimeo@gmail.com no no High Above Lake Michigan http://thememorypalace.us/2009/06/episode-13-high-above-lake-michigan/ http://thememorypalace.us/2009/06/episode-13-high-above-lake-michigan/#comments Tue, 16 Jun 2009 21:48:36 +0000 admin http://thememorypalace.us/?p=242 Continue reading →]]> There are two Erik Satie pieces in here: Denieres Pensees 1 & 2. Then you’ve got a little Rainbow, by Battles. And then at the end, En Gallop, by Joanna Newsom (which I felt lame about looping so heavily because I know it so well and know that it’ll be distracting to those who do. But then I convinced myself that a loop works a little bit like a Ferris Wheel and felt marginally better).

I’m a full-on Columbian Exhibition of 1893 nerd. Have a ticket to it framed on our dining room wall. For all of your Chicago World’s Fair fact-needs, The Devil in the White City is the place to go. For your heartbreak and beauty needs, go to Jimmy Corrigan: the Smartest Kid on Earth, by Chris Ware.
