What’s Your Map? is a podcast hosted by Jerry Brotton (previously) and produced by Oculi Mundi (previously). It’s a biweekly affair in which Brotton “invites a guest to share a map close to their heart—and unfurl the ideas, inspirations, and stories behind it.” Four seasons so far, and it started in 2024; I cannot explain why I missed it until now (apart from the fact that I don’t really listen to podcasts). Apple Podcasts, Spotify.

New Podcast: Very Expensive Maps
Very Expensive Maps “is a podcast by cartographer Evan Applegate in which he interviews better cartographers.” His interviewees include names that should be quite familiar to my regular readers. In just over three weeks there have already been 14 episodes uploaded, which is kind of incredible.
Harvard on the Map
Harvard on the Map, a new radio program looking at geospatial topics, is hosted by Harvard Graduate School of Design student Jennifer Horowitz. Three episodes so far, each of which an interview with someone working in the field.
Van der Maarel on What It’s Like to Be a Cartographer
Cartographer Hans van der Maarel, of Red Geographics, is interviewed about what it’s like to be a cartographer for a podcast called Discover Your Talent—Do What You Want. I’ve never heard of this podcast, but seems to focus on careers and career planning, which explains some of the questions. The episode is thirty minutes long. [via]
A List of Geospatial Podcasts
I haven’t been keeping up on what mapping and geospatial podcasts are out there. (My last post on the subject was nearly a decade ago.) Fortunately, GIS Lounge has a roundup of geospatial podcasts, most of which I was not aware of (see above); interesting to see that Very Spatial is still an ongoing concern.
