There’s been a lot of map-related activity on the BBC recently. The series of documentaries called The Beauty of Maps was all too short.
Meanwhile, Radio 4 ran a ten-part series entitled On The Map. They would have disappeared down the Beeb’s memory hole but Brian did a little bit of digital preservation and passed them on to me. I’ve put them on Huffduffer. You can subscribe to a podcast of all ten episodes or listen to them individually:
- The Map Makers
- Mapping the Metropolis
- Motoring Maps
- Social Mapping
- The Lie of the Land
- World View
- Off The Map
- Whose Map is it Anyway?
- Digital Maps
- Maps of the Mind
If you’re in London any time before September 19th, be sure to check out the Magnificent Maps exhibition at The British Library. It’s free and it’s excellent.
