What's up, you flag nuts, we've got a chock-full episode this week as not one, but two guests answer my Raleigh'ing cry! World traveler and designer of the New Raleigh Flag Brian Rineer drops by the studio, with good friend and enthusiastic new flag advocate Roland Kays for quite a corny talk on why a new flag is needed, why the old one has interesting roots, and how the two branches can meet in the middle. Plus, some flags that are red, white, and... loons???

We've got NAVA All-Star Adib Altallal on this week, as we go over the ins and outs of planning the annual meetings. The next one is in Seattle, where Adib lives, so he's been "boots on the ground" trying to get NAVA 59 set up. We chat about what it takes to plan one, what it's like to attend one, and more. Plus, we talk about city flags—both their utility and where to effectively place them.

It's a nice week to be a VexHead, y'all. We've got Frédéric Lindboe back in the studio this week because he just can't get enough! We go through his redesign process and his designs for a flag advent calendar, judging all the way. Then, we have a good chat about the family flag he designed for my wife and me, and how we implemented it in the ceremony. Plus, Red-White-and-Blueland? Huh?

Cheerio, VexHeads! We've got Jason Saber, one of the UK's foremost vexillologists—and the man who literally wrote the book on British County Flags—in the studio this week. We have a fantastic chat about what got the ball rolling on these flag registrations, how heraldry influences their designs, and what we in the US could learn from British flags. Plus, some goats on a hill.

This week, it's all about the Flag of the Fens! And who better to explain to us just who (or what) the Fens are than the flag's creator himself, James Bowman. James and I have a great chat about the history of the area, its fascinating people and landscape, what inspired the flag, and why it's so important. Plus, merchandising opportunities!

We've truly Chesa-peaked this week, as Andy sits down with Joseph Latshaw, one of the leaders of the Chesapeake Bay Flag Association. Joseph gives us an inside look at how a smaller, regional flag group works, and we chat about his home state pride via the New Jersey Civic Flag Project he's spearheading. Plus, a flag inspired by a carpet, or a carpet inspired by a flag?

Alan Hardy swings by the studio this week to chat with us about his flag polls! Alan runs a big group on Facebook with the goal of beautifying the U.S. state flags. We talk about the process, the demographics, and the results—turns out, even some of the good ones could use a change or two! Plus, Alan's idea on how to make Bangladesh fresh, some listener questions, and—as always—a few tangents.

Divine Providence has struck the studio this week, as we have author- and editor-extraordinaire Christopher Maddish here to talk all about his new book, The Flag Revelation! We spend a short amount of time quibbling over whether it's providence or synchronicity that lead a lot of U.S. state flags to look similar (and not just the S.O.B.s you're thinking of, trust me). But Chris isn't just here to talk about the book--he's got a LOT of design ideas for folks born abroad, for lesser-known holidays, you name it.

What's up, VexHeads? We've got Maxwell Feldmann in the studio this week, as we go over his design process for a new flag for Illinois! Max is a brilliant young designer who brings history into the future with enthusiasm. His designs have gotten a lot of hype on Reddit and other communities, and that forward-pointing star is just [chef's kiss]. Make sure to check out the SHOW NOTES!

Phew. Glad I got through that without any Illinois-ing puns.
