In this Deep Dive episode, our hosts discuss how a single Library of Congress–flagged day from 1896 invites deeper questions about historical memory, the life and craft of F. Scott Fitzgerald (alongside birthdays for Jim Henson and Linda McCartney), and a concise medical fact about the lymphatic system.
- 📜 The hosts unpack why the Library of Congress might single out a day in 1896 as "notable," and how such selections shape public memory, journalistic inquiry, and the ripples of social and political context that follow.
- 🎂 A birthday segment honoring F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896), Jim Henson (1936), and Linda McCartney (1941), with a deeper look at Fitzgerald’s craft — his portrait of the Jazz Age, the interplay of exuberance and disillusionment in his work, and how his short stories sharpened his fiction.
- 💡 Fact of the day: a clear, plain reminder that human lymph nodes filter lymph fluid — a succinct statement about their role as checkpoints in immunity and fluid balance.
