Sketchplanations - The Podcast

When it comes to holidays, or nights out, or relationships even; it can often be the peak moments of emotional intensity and the very end of an experience that we filter in our memories to form our lasting impressions. It's called The Peak-End Rule. And guess what - Jono's done a sketch on it. The experience or event that we remember through the Peak-End filter can be short or long, it can be good or bad. Our brains are very good at dropping a lot of the detail and focussing on Peaks and Ends. You can see Jono's sketch on it here. Can you think of times in your life where your memory might be affected by this?

The Fun Scale suggests that there are 3 different Types of Fun - particularly when applied to outdoor pursuits. Type 1: Fun to do at the time and fun to think back on. Type 2: Requires a bit of work at the time, but ultimately fun in retrospectType 3: Not necessarily fun at all, but makes for a great story (the telling of which is fun!).In this episode we discuss our experiences with all 3 of them and propose a possible 4th Type of "Fun".
