Hey PJ! Enjoying the show.

My question: I find that when I listen to podcasts, my brain stores where I am when I'm listening to it. That means that when I think about a podcast story, I am returned to the place that I listened to it.

When I think of The Case of the Missing Hit, I'm in Borough Market, London. When I think of the serial killer Dennis Nilsen, I am on Hampstead Heath. When I think of Long Distance, I'm in the lift in my old, old, old work office on the Strand. When I think about the Terra/Luna collapse, I'm in Forest Gate park.

My question is -- why does my brain work this way? And does it happen to everyone? To have synaesthesia with places?

Thanks!

Thank you so much for this episode!!!

All your answers/reporting are way better than my (conspiracy) theory:

He is self aware enough to know that twitter is a terrible addiction and he needs to overcome this time suck. So he bought it and is ruining it for everyone (if I can’t have it, no one can) so he can go off and be productive again.
