The Case for Play

from Sorry I Missed You · host Meg Dalessandro

Breaking my ankle in three places? Not exactly the kind of play I had in mind for 2023, but here we are. This week, I’m thinking about play—why we need it, when we lost it, and why two of my best friends swinging like kids on a summer night made me want to cry (in a good way). I'm wondering:How play helps our brains, Why movie remakes don’t actually bring back the magicHow core memories come in all shapes and sizes. Also, if anyone at Hasbro is looking for a Nerf movie director, I’m ready to bring the vision. Big life moment or tiny nostalgic joy—what’s a core memory you didn’t realize was a core memory until later? This is a public episode.
