1 00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:04,280 Speaker 1: Welcome to stuff you missed in History Class A production 2 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 1: of iHeartRadio, Hello and Happy Friday. I'm Holly Frye and 3 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,920 Speaker 1: I'm Tracy V. Wilson, and we talked about Hans Sloan 4 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 1: in the British Museum this week. Uh huh. There are 5 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,320 Speaker 1: so many things. One of the things that jumped out 6 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 1: to me that I had not realized reading a lot 7 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:30,640 Speaker 1: of biographies about him until I got into more of 8 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:36,199 Speaker 1: the heavy hitter biographies, was like, at that point, I 9 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 1: was already you know, understanding and well acquainted with the 10 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 1: extent to which you know, this colonization and enslavement of 11 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 1: Jamaica had enabled his work, right, But it wasn't until 12 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 1: I got into a deeper biography where I understood the 13 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: circumstances of his youth and how that was already a 14 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: sin of colonization and forced occupation that maybe just made 15 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: him so accustomed to that concept that he didn't even 16 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: process it to some degree. Yeah, that's just a guess 17 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: on my part, Like, we don't actually know his opinion 18 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: about slavery per se, even though it clearly benefited him, 19 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 1: and he believed that anyone who was not a white 20 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,119 Speaker 1: European person must be lying if they said they didn't 21 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: feel good because they were lazy and trying to get 22 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: out of work. That is literally how he describes many 23 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: of these situations. Yes, even when he's listing symptoms that 24 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: you're like, something was gravely wrong with that person, which 25 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: is upsetting. But it just was the first time I 26 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: had that revelatory moment of oh, his whole life parallels 27 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: that experience of his youth, where this was probably very normalized. 28 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: Just interesting. While I was at the British Museum, Yeah, 29 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: and I went in the reading room and I was 30 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: with one of my very, very dear friends who I 31 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: just loved pieces, and we were standing in the reading 32 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,959 Speaker 1: room and all I could think of was Mike the Cat, 33 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: who you may remember from our episode about historical cats. 34 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: Mike the Cat was kind of a scrappy cat that 35 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: would often hang out in the reading room and guarded 36 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: air quotes the British Museum, and people would try to 37 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: pet him and he would claw, And I'm just just like, 38 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: if ever I did want a ghost, it was Mike 39 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 1: the Cat in that moment. But no Mike the Cat sightings. Yeah, 40 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: I didn't think about him. Yeah, Sloan's name was on 41 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 1: chocolate until twenty twenty two. Really, yeah, okay, and then 42 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: the company that was I forget the exact name of 43 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: the company, but it was something like Sloane Chocolate Company. 44 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: He didn't own it, it was named in reference to him. Sure, 45 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: it rebranded to Cocoa Canopy, I think in twenty twenty two. 46 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: But I'm like, wow, that is a locked a long time. 47 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. 48 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 1: I Also I think about this sometimes just because I 49 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: will go down a rabbit hole of like TikTok discourse. 50 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: People use the word discover to mean a brand new, 51 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: never before discovered thing, but people also use the word 52 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 1: discover to just mean I found out, yes, not claiming 53 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: that you are the sole discoverer of the thing, right. 54 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: And so I kind of wonder like whether he did 55 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: think that he had invented this entirely unknown thing, right 56 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: or this is probably being more generous toward him than 57 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 1: he might deserve in this matter, but like whether he 58 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: was like I discovered that this is really good, and 59 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: it just more meant I realized this, not I invented it. Yeah, 60 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: And it's very unclear. I mean, here's the thing. There 61 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: are very solid sources that will say without hesitation that 62 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: he invented either hot chocolate, chocolate milk milk chocolate, like 63 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 1: as though it is fact and there are places you 64 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: would normally trust, huh, but there's absolutely no yeah, yeah, 65 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: when you told me this was who you were working on, 66 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: and I had not like the name did not ring 67 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 1: a bell at all for me, and so I googled 68 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: and the first result was like blah blah blah naturalist 69 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: supposed adventure of chocolate milk, and I was like, WHOA, 70 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: that doesn't seem right, right, No, No, one of the 71 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 1: other things that was interesting that I hadn't really thought 72 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 1: about a ton because you know, he had collections from, 73 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: as we said towards the end of the episode, more 74 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: than you know, seventy different places around the globe, but 75 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: he himself was not widely traveled really m right, Like 76 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 1: he went to Jamaica on this sign, and he had 77 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 1: gone to France for his medical degree. But he didn't 78 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: do the thing that we talk about on the show 79 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: all the time that like young men as they're you know, 80 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: hitting adulthood from aristocratic families would do like their tour 81 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: of the continent and travel. He couldn't afford to do that. 82 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 1: He was from the you know, servant class, right, so 83 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: it's really interesting that he again, obviously so many problematic 84 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,799 Speaker 1: issues with his legacy, but he is an interesting case 85 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: of someone who really went from having nothing to literally, 86 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: as I joked in the podcast, being the grand puba 87 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:47,840 Speaker 1: of all scientific thought in London certainly, and I would 88 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 1: say that extended throughout Europe in a big way. Just 89 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 1: kind of a fascinating life trajectory. 90 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 2: Mmm. 91 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: I just thought that was interesting. And then when he 92 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: purchased the manor house at else that included that garden, 93 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 1: his apothecary garden, and he leased it to the Worshipful 94 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: Society of Apothecaries for five pounds a year. And according 95 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 1: to a Garden's Illustrated article that I read that was 96 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:20,559 Speaker 1: about the three hundred and fiftieth anniversary of his birth, 97 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: maybe his descendants still get paid that. Oh wow, that 98 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 1: property is still part of his family legacy and they 99 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 1: are still getting paid rent on that garden, which is fascinating. 100 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 2: Yeah. 101 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is like that thing we've talked about recently 102 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: where we always mention when you're translating money over time, 103 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: it's very tricky. Yeah, But how I had found a 104 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 1: few months back, and we talked about it then, like, oh, 105 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: this is actually quite important to people who live in 106 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: like Europe, for example, where they actually are on property 107 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 1: that their family has owned for three hundred and fifty 108 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 1: years and suddenly they have to have a system that 109 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: everyone agrees they'll at least acknowledge and abide bye. And 110 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: so I just it was one of those things where 111 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: I'm like, I the idea of a family owning a 112 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: piece of property for hundreds and hundreds of years is 113 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: so alien to most of us that live in the 114 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 1: United States that I'm just like, and you're you've been 115 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: receiving rent since what year, seventeen twenty two? For real? 116 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: It's very interesting. Yeah, British Museum, they got a lot 117 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: of cool stuff. I feel like they're trying having been 118 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: there on site because we've talked about it before and 119 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,679 Speaker 1: like issues of repatriation. But I will say the vibe 120 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: I god being on site was we're trying so hard, 121 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: we're just really bind And I don't know if that's 122 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: just like a piece an easy piece of copy to 123 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: put out, but it felt a little different for me 124 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: being there than when we have talked about it, because 125 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 1: it does seem so simple in most regards, but I 126 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: do think there's some untangling that we probably are not 127 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: privy to you in a lot of those things, right right, Yeah, Yeah, 128 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: but it's a cool space. It's hard as heck to navigate, 129 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: in my opinion, Thank goodness. I had a local who 130 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: was like, oh, no, that's on floor four, and I'm like, 131 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: how do you get there? Because I would never have 132 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 1: found stuff. Yeah, I've never been there because I've never 133 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,079 Speaker 1: been to London. Oh, I love it so much. This 134 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 1: last trip to Lenon my favorite. I just felt I 135 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: stayed in a different part of the city than I 136 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: had before, and I just had a great time. And 137 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: I don't know, it felt like second home in a 138 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: way that had not before. So I'm ready to go 139 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 1: back again at the drop of a hat. Nice, let's 140 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: all go. By the time this comes out, we will 141 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: have been to Iceland. Yeah, so we might have new 142 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 1: stories to come out of that. We'll see. 143 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 2: Yeah. 144 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 1: We also I also talked to Nate DeMeo this week 145 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: about his upcoming book, yeah, called The Memory Palace. So 146 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: we have had Nate DeMeo on the show previously. That time, 147 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 1: Holly and I both talked to Nate, And this is 148 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: an example of how our human memories are fallible, because 149 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 1: here's how I remember that earlier episode happening. We were 150 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 1: going to interview Nate Demeyo. We were going to include 151 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:54,439 Speaker 1: a couple of episodes of his show in our episode, 152 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: similar to what we did this time. We're gonna also 153 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: like have a focus of the interview around those episodes 154 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:09,439 Speaker 1: we were discussing, but there were rights issues with music 155 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: that had been used in the episode in Nate's episodes 156 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: of the Memory of the Murray Palace, so we had 157 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: to take them all out before doing this interview with him. 158 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: I went and re listened to that previous episode because 159 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: I did not want to have it be the same 160 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 1: questions exactly over again, and there was an episode of 161 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 1: his show in there, and I was like, I thought, 162 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: we had to take all of these out. So I 163 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: guess what really happened was we had to change which 164 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: episodes are going to be included to ones that did 165 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: not have the potential issues involving licensing for the music right, 166 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 1: And that was just not how I had remembered it 167 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: at all. We do like that episode still is in 168 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: the archive if folks want to listen to that to 169 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: hear more from Nate. I want to stress number one, 170 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 1: Nate is always a pleasure to talk to you. Indeed, 171 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: it's great. I'm bummed that my schedule thwarted me from 172 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,199 Speaker 1: being part of this one. Yeah, you had your own 173 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: book coming out at the same time as we were 174 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: planning to do this interview with Nate. I did. I 175 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:20,079 Speaker 1: had your own book, and so you were off doing 176 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 1: things involving your own book. I want to tell people 177 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 1: one more time what that book is. Yes, it is 178 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: Killer Cocktails, which is based on the work that we 179 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 1: do on the other podcasts that I'm on Criminalia, which 180 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 1: is historical true crime. And every story of historical true 181 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 1: crime has a cocktail and mocktail that go with it. 182 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: So you get half that you may have heard already 183 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 1: on the podcast if you listen, and half are brand 184 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 1: new just for the book. So perfect Christmas gift if 185 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: you have someone that likes mixing drinks, history or true 186 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,239 Speaker 1: crime in a way that's removed and feels less voyeuristic. 187 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 2: Yeah. 188 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 1: So this is very similar to Nate's book, because Nate's 189 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: book is also some of it, some chapters are the 190 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 1: same story as he has told on an episode of 191 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: The Memory Palace. Others are news stories that were written 192 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: for the book. Specifically, I already gushed about the book 193 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 1: a bit in the episode where I talked to Nate, 194 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 1: but something that he and I talked about after we 195 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: had stopped rolling, there's two things. One is that, yes, 196 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: there is going to be an audiobook. The audiobook sounds 197 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: really cool to me. I don't want to get into 198 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: the details of how it sounds cool to me, but 199 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 1: if you are an audiobook person, if you like to 200 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 1: get your books that way, definitely see if this would 201 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: be one that would interest you, because I find a 202 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: lot of things about it really awesome. The other thing 203 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,079 Speaker 1: that he and I talked about was how there were 204 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: concerns about how this book would sell, because what market 205 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: is there for a book book of poetic, thoughtful short 206 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: history stories. And I said, basically, please don't take offense 207 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 1: at this, Nate, But like, do you remember bathroom books? 208 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 1: Do they still have bathroom readers? Do they publish those? 209 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 1: Because now we're all on our phones on the toilet, 210 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: But those used to be books that you can find 211 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 1: near the checkout section of the bookstore and in the 212 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: humor section and the book of the Memory Palace reminds 213 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: me of a thing that you might read for a 214 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: couple of minutes, like you would a bathroom reader. And 215 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 1: I also had a time that I would turn to 216 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 1: this book that is not nearly as you know private 217 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 1: is having your time that you're sitting in the bathroom, 218 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 1: which is that during the height of the pandemic, like 219 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: when we were all in lockdown mode, a lot of 220 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 1: us not working in offices, not attending school in person, 221 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: not seeing a lot of other people, and then also 222 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:05,559 Speaker 1: when I was dealing with all of my feelings around 223 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: of critical illness and somebody very dear to me, I 224 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 1: spent a lot of time walking in the woods, and 225 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 1: one of the things I took with me in the 226 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: walking in the woods was my phone which had a 227 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: collection of poems by Mary Oliver on it. And I 228 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 1: would find a place to sit and I would sit 229 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 1: under a tree, or I would sit by the pond, 230 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 1: or I would sit somewhere and I would like read 231 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: a poem by Mary Oliver and it would just bring 232 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 1: a little bit of peace and focus to my soul. 233 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: And I think this book would have a very similar 234 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: role for me. Yeah, on my phone to have you 235 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 1: know a walk somewhere and sit somewhere quiet and read 236 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 1: a story that moves me in some way about history. 237 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: So yeah, that book is coming out on November nineteenth. 238 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 1: It was again called The Memory Palace by Nate Demeyo. 239 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: And whatever's coming up on your weekend.
