This is a short episode is about prosopagnosia (face blindness). It's the strangest thing I've ever heard maybe. Its just two men talking about having it and a moderator.
My favorite part, one that takes a little bit of thought to catch:
''And (in the elevator with your neighbors) what if they've changed dogs that day?''
''Oh, I wouldn't notice.''
It makes sense when you listen, but it's about enough to make you cry!
Podcast is called Radiolab, find it at Radiolab.org. My other favorite episodes are all of the music ones, which I think have Oliver Sachs as well, plus 'Emergence' 'Sleep' 'Stress' and... nearly all of them.

One of my great friends has this. He is an older Gentleman but it he lives around it. Its very interesting.
ReplyDeleteSeeing as how you are musically inclined, you should put Oliver Sacks' book "Musicophilia" on your reading list if you haven't read it already. It's fascinating to see how music affects the brain and vice versa.
