The story of the recording of the burning of the Hindenburg: why was Herbert Morrison even there and why does the recording sound like it does?

I don’t give half-star ratings because I think it’s kind of weaselly. 5 different ratings (or 6 if you count no stars, which I don’t) should be enough to summarize my opinion about anything.

But I was on the fence about this book. 4 stars or 5 stars? Is it a perfect book? No, but what book is? (Feel free to respond with your perfect books.) Is it a book I expect to come back to time and again, like other books I’ve rated 5 stars? Probably not, but I haven’t re-read Stephen Jay Gould’s Wonderful Life either, and that book is profoundly wonderful.

But I love these sorts of little stories. I love some more than others, of course. The haunting ones, the ones where you feel like you could almost step through and see the story unfold, if only you could find the trick to it. The “we don’t know what this person/animal/rock thought about this, but we can probably guess” ones.

So, if you like those kinds of stories, then you should read this book.

In the ‘60s, the CIA sewed microphones and transmitters into live cats. They turned their tails into antennae. They named this operation ‘Acoustic Kitty’.

They slipped the first spy cat out of a van in Washington so it could eavesdrop on two Soviet agents. The kitty was instantly hit by a taxi and killed.

I didn’t expect to add anything to toots about US military use of radioactive foxes and bat bombs, and yet here we are, me and the cyborg spy cats.

Secret Kitty - the memory palace

The bookending music is “Ptah, the El Daoud” from Alice Coltrane’s album of the same, very-1970 name. Then there are two, slightly chopped up songs from Broadcast (both on “Work and Non-Work”), Phantom and The Book Lovers. You can read about Acoustic Kitty (yes, that’s actually what they called the project) all over the place–there … Continued

While I'm on the subject of #TheMemoryPalace; this episode is, by some margin, the podcast episode I've listened to more than any other. It's absolutely beautiful, to the point that it kind of killed my ability to make my own. Though I hold no animosity towards Nate for this.
