Ep. 272: The Greatest Memory in the World
Manage episode 517665477 series 3544324
How far back do your memories go? Do you remember your kiss with little Susie in second grade? Can you remember your Kindergarten teacher’s name? What do you remember about the day you were born? My guess is, even if you CAN remember any of these things, the details are pretty fuzzy. Not so for today’s guest Rebecca Sharrock. She has a rare condition called Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory (HSAM). This means, she literally remembers EVERYTHING that has ever happened to her with crystal clear accuracy. She even claims to have memories that are prenatal! It is quite possible she has the best memory on the planet right now. Of course we discuss this, but also her encounters with ghosts, her myriad phobias, and what she thinks of the Huntsman spider.
