  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tatiana Seijas, "American Metropolis: The Making of Mexico City" (Cambridge UP, 2026)
Q: What does the city's daily provisioning system look like in the 1650s, and who are the people making it work?
She describes a complex system in which food vendors, indigenous market women, and other workers navigated city ordinances, organized into central markets and smaller weekly markets, and played key roles in keeping the city fed and functioning.
Tatiana Seijas, "American Metropolis: The Making of Mexico City" (Cambridge UP, 2026)
Q: Could you start us off by introducing yourself a little bit and tell us why you decided to write this book?
Tatiana explains she is a historian of motion and transformation who writes about people who journey and rebuild their lives; the book reframes early modern globalization to center the experiences of essential workers, enslaved and free, in Mexico City's global connections.
Amihai Mazar and Nava Panitz-Cohen, "Tel Rehov: A Bronze and Iron Age City in the Beth-Shean Valle" (The Institute of Archaeology, The Hebrew University, 2020)
Q: Okay, thank you. Professor Mazal, you are also a member of the editorial board of the European Hebrew Journal. What are your thoughts about the journal and its contribution to biblical, archaeological, Hebrew, and Jewish studies?
The journal is newly established and aims to attract important contributions across biblical studies, archaeology, historical geography, and Hebrew language, with a broader impact beyond narrow disciplines; it should help foster interdisciplinary scholarship and open access collaborations.
Oli Mould, "Postcapitalist cities: Towards a common urban future" (Manchester UP, 2026)
Q: Can you share a few examples of resistance or alternative urban practices that the book spotlights?
Examples include Chilean student-led art and urban interventions reclaiming city space, global protest movements like Occupy and Black Lives Matter, and the broader idea of commons and care as modes of organizing cities differently.
Oli Mould, "Postcapitalist cities: Towards a common urban future" (Manchester UP, 2026)
Q: How does gentrification relate to race and capitalism, and why is this linkage important to your analysis?
The discussion highlights that gentrification is closely tied to racial capitalism, with policy and design choices often rendering spaces more homogenous and excluding marginalized communities, which the book critiques as a core dynamic of contemporary urban transformation.
