The Annotated Mind
🎙 The Annotated Mind—where literature, philosophy, and history intertwine to explore the way we think, learn, and live.
Hosted by Cinzia DuBois, a Classicist and bookish storyteller, this podcast delves into the wisdom found in ancient texts, philosophical musings, and the literary echoes of the past. From the psychology of reading to the forgotten ideas that shaped history, The Annotated Mind is a space for the intellectually curious, the over thinkers, and those who find solace in the margins of well-worn pages.
Expect deep dives into philosophy, history, and literature—annotated with personal insights and reflections on the modern world.
📖 Because the best ideas aren’t just read—they’re lived.

The Annotated Mind
Why Do We Forget the Books We Read?
Have you ever looked at a book on your shelf and realised you don’t remember anything about it? Recently, I had to confront that horrifying reality when I picked up not one but two books that I'd not only read, but annotated! How is it possible to completely forget reading a book one has annotated? In this episode, I explore the science behind memory and reading, why some stories stick with us while others fade, and whether forgetting a book means the time spent reading it was wasted.
