{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"The Elephant Slides of Sofia","description":"In tonight’s dead letter, we’ll take you through the brutalist monuments and ancient layers of Sofia, Bulgaria looking for what may have been the scene of a localized timeslip. After giving up the search for a playground that made a pronounced childhood impression, our listener Vili, stumbles right into a beautifully preserved version of it. We’ll discuss the folklore of missing time, and how our own memories might just be powerful enough to physically manifest things we wish to recover that don’t exist anymore.\n\nREFERENCE LINKS\n\nNational Palace of Culture (NDK) in Sofia\n (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Palace_of_Culture)\nSamodiva - Bulgarian Woodland Spirits\n (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samodiva_(folklore))\nThe Moberly–Jourdain Incident (Versailles Time Slip)\n (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moberly%E2%80%93Jourdain_incident)\nEd Debevic's Retro Diner\n (https://www.eddebevics.com/)\nAlpine Gardens (Alpinarium)\n (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpine_garden)\nThe Ghosts of Versailles Part 1 (Astonishing Legends)\n (https://open.spotify.com/episode/1fMEodAOCODUitCcInGq6A?si=7651366bcb554847)\nWe're looking for more stories!
