In this episode, we consider the British Library's Secret Maps exhibition, exploring the power of maps and the often surprising ways they have been used, interpreted, and sometimes manipulated by governments and institutions; touching on how mapping shapes knowledge, authority, and our understanding of the world.
We also discuss the closure of a long-standing hobby web site after 10,000 days, its history, experiences and challenges.
Marty shows off some of his Christmas gifts in the form of Hellebore publications.
