Hi, Brian Lairer here.

Up next, Brian Lairor Weekend,

three of our favorite segments from the week,

packaged together for you to listen to on the weekend.

So enjoy, and I'll see you back on the radio Monday at 10 a.m.

on WNYC and on WNYC.

One of the mysteries of life is our relationship with our memories, right?

We think we remember things worse as we age.

We associate loss of memory with disease fairly or not.

It's become an issue in politics now too with questions about Trump's and Biden's memories. Did Trump really forget

that Nancy Pelosi and Nikki Haley are not the same person as one of his campaign speeches

seem to suggest? Well, a new book by a University of California psychology and neuroscience

professor suggests we may be thinking about our own memories in some of the wrong ways,

and we might be happier with a little attitude adjustment toward what we remember and what we forget.

The book is called Why We Remember, Unlocking Memories Power to Hold On to What Matters by

Charonganoff, who is a UC Davis professor of psychology and neuroscience.

Professor Ranganov, thanks very much for coming on. Welcome to WNYC.

Thank you. Thank you. It was very exciting. I'm actually now jonesing for a WNYC hoodie or

cat. Ah, maybe we can work something out.

So listeners, anything you've ever wanted to ask an expert on memory, but never had one over for dinner, now is your chance.

Text or give us a call at 212-433, WNYC, and that's obviously our on airline.

We're never going to ask you for money on the air.
