Listened to this while working a very rote job of my own. Maybe I’ll go back to making things one day (I was a sculpture BFA). Until then, this podcast was a great find today, as I let my mind wander.

I LOOOOVED this – until the last line. Of course she didn’t “need” loads of cash….but screw whether or not she had heirs— imagine how much MORE she could have done if money was never even an issue? Thomas Edison certainly had less to worry about AND had something for his heirs. In a world where woman STILL don’t have equal pay – that last sentence left a bad taste in my mouth.

I’m not from NH. Never worked in a mill. First podcast of yours I have listened to. Wonderful. Thanks.

I’m really blown away by this episode, particularly the introduction. I think it was cinematic.

This would be a perfect item to hear or broadcast in Women’s History Month (March) and/or Labor Day. Very inspiring, and, as always, beautifully produced.

@Tim: The list of tracks can be found at http://thememorypalace.us/2015/11/no-116842/. I’ve pasted it here:

Music
* Under the credits is Harlaamstrat 74 off of John Dankworth’s Modesty Blaise score.
* First bit is called Steep Hills of Vicodin Tears by A Winged Victory for the Sullen from their self-titled album.
* A brief bit of Occam II for Violin by Silvia Tarrozi scores the shuttle accident (non-NASA category).
* We’ve got Eloy by Deaf Center.
* Finish out with Call from Julianna Barwick’s album Pacing.

I’m from Manchester and as soon as I heard the description of the mill I knew exactly where it was before even hearing the name. What a great story. I will become a patron and subscriber. Keep up the good work.

Very nicely told, sir. And I’m always impressed by the way you select music create the atmosphere for the story with it.

Speaking of music, do you have the titles of the tracks you used in this one?

Really enjoyed this week’s episode! I went to school in Manchester, NH and worked in the renovated mill buildings. I also spent hours letting my mind wander there, turning hours into cents. What an amazing woman.

Nate, you’re an incredible story teller. I get completely lost in every episode. Sometimes I even get goosebumps. Never stop making shows!
