Part 1: A Whole Stack of Memories Never Equals One Little Hope
What's your first memory of being alive? Are you swinging at a pinata at your 4th birthday party? Are you throwing a snowball at your pet cat? We explore why we remember some things and forget others. Featuring a conversation with a man who has supermemory, with another who helps erase bad memories, and a story about a woman with amnesia.
