Somewhere, exactly, where people had trench mouth, trench foot, all the trench stuff. Like, it's the same thing if you're sitting there and you're reading about, like, Middle Earth. Like, you are transported to this imaginary space in which the past lives.

And that is true of Gettysburg, and that is true of Normandy Beach, but it is also true of, like, the story that your buddy tells you at the bar, of the thing that happened to him. It happened to him. It is already living in his memory. But when he's recounting it, it creates this kind of like fictional space, you know, where you're picturing your buddy hitting on this girl.

I haven't explained exactly what she looks like, but you can kind of picture her. You can, you know, you can conjure this thing. And I am fascinated by the way memory works. But what I really love is that conjuring act.

Yeah, I mean, and I'm sure that has cost me money. I guarantee. I have bad news. It's cost you a lot of money. I guarantee that that's true. And believe me, this is a conversation that I have, you know, like ongoing in any number of venues. And that is the truth. Like at the beginning of an episode, there's often a cryptic title.

And then there is no like, hey, we're about to talk about the Korean War. We just start talking about the Korean War. Part of it also comes down to like, I got into this whole thing in part like through music. You know, like when I was in my 20s, I played in bands that people don't remember and loved that experience. But what I really loved was the idea that one day the song will be on the radio.

that a song that I write might come in and change someone's day out of the blue. That they're in one mood and then the song comes in and they are changed. And I started to notice that that's the way that radio works. And I started to fall in love with public radio in part because a story from the news could sneak into your day the same way.

Here you are, you know, wrapped up in the whir and sputter of just like, of you're trying to find a parking spot. You're trying to remember what you're supposed to do that afternoon. You're replaying the fight you had with your girlfriend the night before, whatever it turns out to be. And then suddenly, some sort of beautifully crafted thing comes into your day and snaps you out of it.

This is The Memory Palace. I'm Nate DiMeo. The sound of the chants, the creaking door, the lumbering footsteps. They'd recorded all that before Bobby had shown up in the studio, right on Sunset Boulevard, a stone's throw from Hollywood High.
