Send us a Comment, Question or Request, we'd love to hear from you New Year energy, real talk, and a few chaotic confessions: we pull back the curtain on a year that stretched us, surprised us, and reminded us why this show matters.

I Swear I Remember That… Until I Don’t (00:51:54)

We put that idea to the test with Bartlett’s War of the Ghosts, a famously slippery folk tale that reveals how the brain swaps canoes for boats, inserts ghosts that never glow green, and confidently recalls details that were never said. The result is honest, human, and often wrong—and that’s the point. We dig into recons...
