RHLSTP with Richard Herring
Description
RHLSTP Book Club #169 - This Way Up: When Maps Go Wrong (and Why It Matters) - Rich meets one of the Map Men, Jay Foreman to talk about the fantastic book he’s written along with Mark Cooper-Jones about maps and what happens when they go wrong. They chat about the murky story of how the Map Men got together, why they are so many stories around maps, why Richard couldn’t watch Tiswas in Cheddar and how young people don’t know how lucky they are, trying to navigate through London using a map of Paris, how an inset box on a map affected the US/Canada border, the non-existent town that suddenly came into existence (or did it?) navigating by testicles and medieval satnavs.
