Scroll Newsy: Very Expensive Maps

Very Expensive Maps

Very Expensive Maps is, well, I can't say it much plainer than host Evan Applegate: "Very Expensive Maps is a podcast by cartographer Evan Applegate in which he interviews better cartographers." A podcast about a visual medium like maps is maybe a tiny bit like dancing about architecture, but Applegate makes it work. The archives are a key part of the show...lots of links to the maps discussed during each episode. Here's a sampling of some of the visuals from recent shows:
