A note on shownotes. In a perfect world, you go into each episode of the Memory Palace knowing nothing about what's coming. It's pretentious, sure, but that's the intention. So, if you don't want any spoilers or anything, you can click play without reading ahead.
Music
- Waveland by Noam Pikelny.
Notes
I relied a lot on the extensive articles on the Monticello historic home's site maintained by the University of Virginia.
As well as Dining at Monticello: In Good Taste and Abundance by Damon Lee Fowler.
