If you've ever wanted to remember things better, then do we have the Memory Craft show for you.

Today I'll be talking with Lynne Kelly, the queen of memory, a senior memory champion, science writer, anthropologist, and the author of a brilliant book on the most amazing memory techniques, "Memory Craft."

That's just what I want to talk with her about today, about how to improve your memory with the most powerful methods in history, from medieval bestiaries to Tibetan mandalas.
