Gary’s Q&A

Listener question & Gary’s response · Transcript passage

Finally, the last question comes from Janelle Alvstad-Mattson, who asks, “You’ve made so many episodes at this point that it made me curious if there are any topics you have told us about that you have already forgotten the details of.”

The answer is yes and no. For a long time, I figured there would come a day when I’ve done so many episodes that I accidentally did one that I’ve done before.

It doesn’t happen often, but sometimes I’ll come up with an idea for a show and then remember what I’ve already done it.

It isn’t an issue of forgetting things so much as a matter of recall. Once I see the episode artwork, everything tends to come back immediately.

I would say that I could extemporaneously talk about the vast majority of the episodes I’ve done without any preparation. And for some episodes, I could probably talk ad nausem about them.

The remainer, I think I’d probably just need a few minutes to review what I have already done.

So, it isn’t a case of completely forgetting, but just needing a refresher.
