Our memories don't always work the way we wish they did. But most often, it's because we can't remember things. But what if your memory worked very differently than that? What if instead of being unable to remember - you were unable to forget? On this week's episode of The What If? Podcast, we explore people with memories that work in strange and mysterious ways. Spencer tells the story of Derek Paravicini, a piano prodigy and autistic savant from the United Kingdom who can't forget any song he's ever heard. Ryan tells the stories of Aurelian Hayman and Jill Price, just two of many people who remember nearly every detail of every day of their entire lives, and some details from other people's lives too...
