    Memory: How to Boost It
    Sep 4 2025
    Lots of us feel like our memories are garbage — like we’d forget our pants if they weren’t on our legs. But what if the science told us that forgetting stuff is totally normal? We dig into the weird science of why our memories work the way they do. And if we DO want better retention in our brain box, are there science-approved ways to boost our memories? We talk to psychologist Prof. Charan Ranganath, neuroscientist Prof. Loren Frank, and psychologist Prof. Jan Born. Find our transcript here: https://bit.ly/ScienceVsMemory Check out Charan Ranganath’s book, Why We Remember: Unlocking Memory’s Power to Hold On To What Matters: https://charanranganath.com/book/ In this episode, we cover: (00:00) Our crappy memories (03:50) Forgetting is the default (08:49) Event boundaries and how to get around them (13:30) To remember more, up the stakes (18:33) Can supplements or crosswords boost our memory?

Hot topics addressed and answered with science, not opinions, which is so essential in a world of misinformation. The creators even list their sources and tell you how many citations it took to create each episode, showing that they did not cherry-pick data to suit their purpose, but really did their research. Bringing on multiple experts each time rounds out the podcast as educational, interesting, and entertaining!

Hot topics, truthful, scientific discussions.

it's really good to know that science still matters. I like the scientific way each topic is broken down, the use of subject matter experts, and the availability of sources. Even subjects I thought i had no interest in fully captured my attention. Outstanding podcast!!! Thank you!

best podcast ever!!!
