Episode Details

Katie Couric had a wild moment at the Aspen Ideas Festival—she forgot everything that happened, including that it was 2024 and Biden was president. Doctors diagnosed her with transient global amnesia, a rare, temporary brain glitch that wipes out new memories while leaving your identity intact. It’s often triggered by stress or even a sudden temperature shift, and though it usually clears within 24 hours, it can be terrifying. While most people only experience it once, about 13% may have it recur. Though not typically linked to Alzheimer’s, it’s crucial to see a doctor the first time it happens to rule out serious causes.
