The Memory Palace is a proud member of Radiotopia, from PRX, a curated network of extraordinary, story-driven shows.

Music

• We move between three different pieces from Camille Saint-Saens': Suite, Op. 90: II Menuet, and two from Carnival of the Animals: Aviary and the Cuckoo in the Heart of the Woods.
• We hit Juneau from Danny Bensi and Sander Jurriaans' score to Wildlike.
• And The Waltz from their score to 5 to 7.
• And there's a total gem from George Mukabi called Dila Ni Dila in there too.

Notes

• Do yourself a favor and read France Hamerstrom's autobiography, My Double Life: Memoirs of a Naturalist.
• Do your kids a favor and Jeannine Atkins take on Frances in her book Girls Who Looked Under Rocks.
• And then watch Frances teach David Letterman how to cook a snake.
