In this final episode of season 3, Dr Rachel Knightley and Emily Inkpen chat about memory and flashback and the ways in which authors can use them to add colour, realism and plot twists to their work. Harking back to our episode about unreliable narrators, we look at the ways in which our memory can play tricks upon us and we examine memory-loss as a plot device. As always we end with a writing exercise from Rachel.

Rachel, Emily and Chris would like to thank everyone who has listened to season 3. Listen out for a new series coming up in 2025.
