In my opinion Sean was SPAR back in the early days of Reality Capture.

We last caught up for his Spatial Reality Podcast, but now the time was right to see how Sean would use maps to go from Portland in Maine to New Zealand, very spcifically, Fiordland in New Zealand.

Caught up with Dan Rossiter (E21), Claire Woodier (E19) and Iain Miskimmin (E15) for some Festive themed map related chat.

Where was Chris Rea driving home from?

How does Father Christmas avoid unwanted NORAD tracking for the rest of the year?

I hijacked the Geoholics podcast at InterGEO in Berlin.

Sean and Kent played along and shared some very honest and open issues in a safe space concerning maps.

Prepare for amazing geo related confessions.

Me and the Grand Pie Master Flash (Claire Woodier) go way back. We would have first met in 1986 - and we agreed not to discuss it further as we realised it was MANY years ago and we shouldn't dwell on that age thing too long :-)

It was a pleasure to hear about ClaireMarketChef's use of maps in her pursuit of the passion of food. A nod to DaveDraws, and some wonderful answers to the questions that matter in the world of maps and life.

There's also some discussion referencing Madonna - it turns out that Claire may have acheived one of her life goals - listen to find out how!

I was embarrassed to invite award winning radio producer Simon Ritchie on to the podcast, but I was certain he would dismiss my concerns and be up for the chat.

I wasn't wrong. It was awesome. Maps and Radio. It's just a different interpretation of Space & Time.

A great chat with Paul Shillcock of Operam. We stuck largely to the brief, but I'd expect that from someone that specialises in Information Management!
