Episode description

Science writer Sadie Dingfelder has always known that she's a little quirky. But while she's made some strange mistakes over the years, it's not until she accosts a stranger in a grocery store (who she thinks is her husband) that she realises something is amiss...

In her book, Do I Know You?: A Faceblind Reporter’s Journey into the Science of Sight, Memory, and Imagination, Sadie investigates the neuroscience of prosopagnosia (faceblindness), stereoblindness, aphantasia (an inability to create mental imagery), and a condition called Severely Deficient Autobiographical Memory. You can pre-order it now or pick it up in the UK from August 8th!

We Can Be Weirdos will be recorded LIVE on Monday 15th July 2024, at the Underbelly Boulevard, London. Another wild night to ignite the suppressed bit of batsh*t in you. It will feature Sara Pascoe, Lieven Scheire and more to be announced!
