On todays Modern Notion Daily, our guest is Mark Adams, author of Meet Me in Atlantis: My Obsessive Quest to Find the Sunken City (Dutton, March 2015). Adams spent three years exploring the veracity of Platos classic tale of Atlantis.

Music this hour: “Elle va au Japon” by Nic Bommarito, from the album A Quiet Age Soldiertype (militarised) by Ketsa, from the album Whats Withouts Within Oceanica by Avaren, from the album For Others Use
