Science writer Sadie Dingfelder has always known that she's a little quirky. But while she's made some strange mistakes over the years, it's not until she accosts a stranger in a grocery store (who she thinks is her husband) that she realises something is amiss...

In her book, Do I Know You?: A Faceblind Reporter’s Journey into the Science of Sight, Memory, and Imagination, Sadie investigates the neuroscience of prosopagnosia (faceblindness), stereoblindness, aphantasia (an inability to create mental imagery), and a condition called Severely Deficient Autobiographical Memory. You can pre-order it now or pick it up in the UK from August 8th!

***LIVE SHOW JULY 15TH GUEST ANNOUNCEMENT***

We Can Be Weirdos will be recorded LIVE on Monday 15th July 2024, at the Underbelly Boulevard, London. Another wild night to ignite the suppressed bit of batsh*t in you. It will feature Sara Pascoe, Lieven Scheire and more to be announced!
