Today, we’re trialing a new episode format: “a day in the life of…”, where we’ll be interviewing GLaD folks to get the scoop and the behind-the-scenes view on what it is like to live their life. As inaugural guest, we have the pleasure of welcoming to the studio a rock star of maps: Professor James Cheshire. Join us for a conversation spanning from James' origins and first steps into mapmaking all the way his current dual life as the director of a data science institute and successful book author.

Remember we now have a mailbox where you can reach us with comments, suggestions, critique and praise, and maybe even hot takes! Send your thoughts to [email protected] and, while you're at it, give us a rate wherever you listen to GLaD, it's single best thing you can do to help the podcast (that, and telling your friends about it!).

Rachel, Levi, Dani.
