Karen forgets everything

Days Like These

About this episode

Think about where you are stored in your brain. Your sense of self and identity, who you are basically. What if your brain decided it wanted to shut a few things down?

That's what happened to ABC broadcaster Karen Tighe. As an experience sports journalist she's covered the world's biggest events with a career's worth of memories and experiences to reference.

But after Karen contracted encephalitis in 2020, her brain shut off part of those memories and tried to contain her sense of self.
