Memory and Forgetting

Radio Lab really hit it out of the park with this episode on memory and forgetting.

Due to a Transient Ischemic Attack (a TIA) I had in 2016, I have a particular interest in memory and recall.

Not only will this podcast episode challenge your understanding of what memories are, but you'll be surprised at how they're created, and how they're recalled.

The final segment of the episode is about Clive Wearing, who suffers from the most extreme case of amnesia ever recorded. His memories vanished after just seven seconds. "Every moment is his first waking moment." Heartbreaking.

Truly top-notch reporting.

Memory and Forgetting
Remembering is a tricky, unstable business. This hour: a look behind the curtain of how memories are made...and forgotten.
