  • Thank you

    It is sad to see how some geographic thought has evolved. While there are good books here that enhance human knowledge (Monmonier’s Connections and Content, Alexander’s Copyright and Cartography, etc.) the dribble born from passing political trendiness is excessive. The title words justice (all kinds), hate, decolonization, etc. are flags to move on. I do judge books by their cover. Anyway, I enjoy the podcast and thanks for making me aware of some books worth adding to my library.

  • Skews towards their bias

    There are a few episodes that are interesting, and as a geographer I’m interested in the subject - but the guests they invite have too much of a focus on left wing subjects.
