Radiolab | Memory and Forgetting | Radiolab Podcast @Radiolabpod | Uploaded May 2024 | Updated October 2024, 11 hours ago.
From the Radiolab podcast: Remembering is a tricky, unstable business. In this episode from 2007, we look behind the curtain of how memories are made and forgotten.
The act of recalling in our minds something that happened in the past is an unstable and profoundly unreliable process — it’s easy come, easy go as we learn how true memories can be obliterated, and false ones added. Then, Oliver Sacks joins us to tell the story of an amnesiac whose love for his wife and music transcend his seven-second memory.
