Road maps - April 5

Listen Later

It's "Read a road map" day (April 5th). Jen and Lisa take you on a raucous trip through the history of road maps, take a detour to the darker side of road maps, veer into the eternal debate of if women or men are better at navigation, and swerve around the romance of a road map. Better buckle up for the adventure!
