About this episode
The episode introduces Season 2, exploring the misuse of memory in storytelling and the persistence of belief in repressed memories.

Season 2 is for you if: -you love books, movies or otherwise escaping into a story -you think about memory and forgetting -you think about why we think about what we think about... -you liked Season 1 -you like learning about debunked beliefs.
