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 Citius, Altius, Fortius, Horrendius http://thememorypalace.us/2010/02/episode-26-citius-altius-fortius-horrendius/ http://thememorypalace.us/2010/02/episode-26-citius-altius-fortius-horrendius/#comments Thu, 25 Feb 2010 00:56:16 +0000 admin http://thememorypalace.us/?p=408 Continue reading →]]> The recurring piece in the pre-race part is Team by Bon Iver. The part where the Olympic organizers go to the World’s Fair is the Main Title to the movie version of Meet Me In St. Louis (which is about the 1904 World’s Fair). There’s Divino Maravillhoso by Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil in there, briefly. We also hear a song called Anma Arkadas by a Turkish psychedlic rock guy named Erkin Koray. Then we’ve got two from Moondog: “Theme” and “Symphonique #6″.

I’ve read a lot about the ’04 Olympics (in order to write this article for Slate). I’ll recommend two things: a book about the anthropological exhibits called Anthropology Goes to the Fair. But most fun is a first hand account by one of Hick’s coaches that’s available in all of its absurdity here: aafla.org/6oic/OfficialReports/1904/1904lucas.pdf
