Pod Club Announcement: Listen with us to Radiolab’s “Memory and Forgetting”

By Will Willingham 1 Comment

Podcast Radiolab Memories
Where do memories come from? Can memories be altered—adjusted, erased or even created?

A vintage Radio Lab podcast looks at these questions and more as they talk with brain scientists studying memory, and share fascinating stories of memories lost, memories found, and memories just plain baffling. We invite you to join us in listening to the podcast, and then come together Thursday, August 30, to share our thoughts around it.

(Content note: there’s a short bit that may be bothersome for some of us that veer more to the squeamish side. If that’s you, we suggest you skip from about 4:15 to about 5:05 on the audio.)

I used to be a claims adjuster, helping people and insurance companies make sense of loss. Now, I train other folks with ladders and tape measures to go and do likewise. Sometimes, when I’m not scaling small buildings or crunching numbers with my bare hands, I read Keats upside down. My first novel, Adjustments, is available now.

    I see it features Dr. Oliver Sacks! I heard him so many times on RadioLab and Science Friday that I hear his voice when I read his work. What a loss, when he passed away in 2015.
