## Resource

Laura revisits a radio episode from the archives about April anniversaries, some good, many disastrous. And there’s a little side quest about Bob Dylan and Modernist poetry. One note – I forgot to mention that the performance of “Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most” is by Betty Carter.
