Map collector Frank Jacobs joins Dan to explore the lost (and, probably, very fictional) continent of 'Lemuria'. Plus, fake towns that become real, mistakes on maps that could save the earth and how a few grains of rice caused a diplomatic incident between North Korea, South Korea and Japan. You can find Frank's strangest maps on Twitter @VeryStrangeMaps, and you can buy his book Strange Maps: An Atlas of Cartographic Curiosities. You can get in touch with Dan Schreiber on Twitter and Instagram (@Schreiberland). In his bio, you'll find the link to our Discord channel - a global community of likeminded weirdos!
