From creating "synthetic" memories to reviving ruined monuments, tech no longer simply stores the past—it can enhance it. This hour, we explore new ways to capture, share and even recreate our past.

Guests include technologist Pau Aleikum Garcia, cartoonist Amy Kurzweil and digital archaeologist Chance Coughenour.

This episode of TED Radio Hour was produced by Rachel Faulkner White, Katie Monteleone, and Matthew Cloutier. It was edited by Sanaz Meshkinpour, Katie Monteleone and Manoush Zomorodi.

Our production staff at NPR also includes James Delahoussaye, Harsha Nahata and Fiona Gieran. Our executive producer is Irene Noguchi. Our audio engineers were Robert Rodriguez and Gilly Moon.
