Episode description
This week DK Travel's very own cartographer James MacDonald shares the secrets of map-making. We discuss the reasons that every map holds an element of bias, how they can be used as powerful tools of propaganda and the role they play in an increasingly digital world. Tune in for cartographic follies, artistic liberties and the challenges of disputed borders.
