S4E45: "Highways and Byways: Gas station roadmaps of the 20th century as primary sources."

Chris has a fondness for the many road trips he and his family took when he was growing up in the second half of the 20th century.  Perhaps it was collecting and studying the maps they picked up at gas stations which propelled him to a career in graphic design.  Even if it didn't, we had a great conversation this past winter at the Ephemera Fair based on the stack of glove-compartment maps I brought along.
