Mail-wag: Now I Speak Welsh?

🤔🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🥸 We get so much mail from you amazing Wagoneeers and Paul and Stephen love nothing more than another WAGbag session! So here’s a letter from Clifford asking about a condition called Functional Neurological Disorder, which has a rare side effect known as Foreign Accent Syndrome, when an individual suddenly starts speaking with an accent that is not their own. How does this even happen? Does the brain record everything one could potentially access without knowing? Is that the same as a photographic memory, and does that mean one could remember his own birth? Then, Paul and Stephen share what they believe to be their earliest memories, and then lament if these are in fact their first memories, or ones they’ve selected. Ever hear of Capgras delusion, and what’s Brad Pitt’s facial blindness all about? And Paul wonders if he has a very amped up fusiform gyrus. What’s that mean? Play this special Chinwag WAGbag and find out! Chinword of the week: Prosopagnosia Paul Giamatti is an award-winning actor and producer. Stephen Asma is a professor and author specializing in the philosophy of science, religion, and art. 🤔🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🥸 ========= Make sure to follow us @chinwagpod 👉🏼 IG: https://www.instagram.com/chinwagpod/ Tik: https://www.tiktok.com/@chinwagpod Website: http://chinwagpod.fm YT Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@chinwagpod Send your stories, Qs, or thoughts to 📧 questions [at] chinwagpod [dot] fm =========
