Maps as a metaphor for life and living. A wonderful chat with Mike Parker who:

1) Responded to a Twitter tag to create this episode

2) Introduced me to Cartographic graffiti in the cliffs of the Isle of Wight - Read more here: http://harpercollins.co.uk/products/map-addict-the-bestselling-tale-of-an-obsession-mike-parker

3) Explained Human Navigation and the advantages of specific Street names

4) Joined a random map fan on a fledgling podcast - just for fun!

I caught up with an old friend from 2001 - a space oddity you might say, where yours truly is a.k.a.ed "Le Wass d'Space"

Step by step through your world with a dynamic map that looks a bit like a Spaghetti Monster centred on you and connected and influenced by everything that matters to you.

Is that the point?

I met one of Brewing with BIM podcast hosts David Campbell in January 2023.

Dave and I have a shared interest in Application Engineering for construction and I've been following their podcast to steal ideas about how to go about doing this one.

I promise I'll deal with the scratchy WTP intro later - my creative juices weren't flowing pre-publication - sorry Dave!!

Step inside the world of an ex-Combat Engineer who wants to share his love of modern construction methods with everyone he meets as we explore how his day-to-day work is connected with maps.

One of my crazy ideas goto people is Martin McDonnell.

He agreed to come and play with my first attempt at creating a podcast.

If you don't know Edify.ac and the work of Martin - have a listen.

Thanks for playing Martin, looking forward to Round 2.

Andy Evans is a surveyor.

Maps are his thing, and making maps is where he ended up in his career to date.

This podcast is going to explore the wonderful world of survey and mapping, and hopefully it's going to get more followers than his self-indulgent blog.

Help and contributions welcome :-)
