About this episode
Tansel Ali is really good at remembering stuff. Like the entire contents of two phone books (for a company’s marketing campaign). He is 4-time Australian memory champion but at the age of 24 had a terrible memory, until he figured out how to optimise his capacity for data storage and retrieval. This was a fun chat about the brain, mind, cognition, learning, storytelling and of course, improving memory.
