Memory Palace - 70: Developments in the Design and Manufacture of American Menswear 1840-1860, a Fable

@jakecrump Howdy Jake! Oh man, that's a tough question. The powerful pictures Nate DiMeo paints with his words, backed up by that driving cello, are nothing short of awe inspiring. I don't think I can accurately summarize the emotions each episode of The Memory Palace stirs in me. There's a part where Nate says in this episode, "Or you listened on the radio in the living room with your folks like it was 1940, your father pacing like his father might have done in 1940, your mom there with her brave face on, ash on her cigarette growing long. Or you were listening on the little transistor radio propped up on the shelf above the sink at your dishwashing job with all the guys in the kitchen, each of you hanging on every number, the one older dude north of 30 keeping his mouth shut for once. Maybe you got in the car to listen because the reception was better, you said, but really you just wanted to be out of the house away from your roommates, or your girl, or everyone. Just wanted to be driving. Maybe you remember. I don't." The emotions drawn up by this dialog are heartbreaking.
