Episode 121 (The Nickel Candy Bar)

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

Music

We hit two sections from Bernard Herrmann's score to Tender is the Night: The Embrace and The Breakdown. A bit of Sambolero by Luiz Bonfa. Labyrinth II by Caitlin Aurelia Smith. Walter Meets the Beaver from Marcel Zavros' score to The Beaver. Two tracks, "1" & "2" from AAESPO's album, Layers. Maria Arvos' Last Days of Summer. And Time Times Three by Palm.

Notes

The most comprehensive article I encountered on Doug Davis is here. I found this biographical essay on Otto Schnering particularly useful. The Oxford Companion to American Food & Drink, edited by Andrew F. Smith.
