This week, we're diving deep into the weird and wonderful world of memory — both biological and mechanical. From how your brain stores the smell of grandma’s house to how your laptop remembers where your holiday photos are, we explore what memory actually is, how it works, and why your version of events might be completely wrong. We’ll explain how neurons store memories, why your brain edits the past like a drunk film director, and how trauma changes memory in ways that can shape your entire life. Then we plug in and switch gears to look at how computers store information — from magnetic disks to binary code to why your SSD might outlive your attention span. As always, expect a healthy dose of solid science, questionable analogies, and the kind of off-topic nonsense that makes this The Information Entropy Podcast. Music: HOME - AWAY
