EPISODE TWENTY FOUR Countries & Capitals
In EPISODE TWENTY FOUR, Countries & Capitals, we seek to increase our geographic literacy by reviewing country names (in the order of most to least populated) while locating each within its region and naming its capital city. At the same time we also critique the very same geographical imagination this limited view of geography constructs in our minds. Test your skills by following along with this map.
EPISODE TWENTY THREE Deconstructing the Map w/ Denis Wood
Maps are ubiquitous in today’s world. Our geographical imaginations are both expanded and limited by this “communication of geographical knowledge” (maybe an attempt at a definition?). But, what is a map? Academic geographers in North America and Western Europe started to seriously question their taken-for-granted history roughly 25 years ago with the publication of papers, essays and books by Denis Wood and J. Brian Harley. Join us for an episode-long conversation with Denis Wood as we explore Google Maps, critical cartography, the geo-body, Winnie the Pooh and Boylan Heights in Raleigh, North Carolina.
The episode first broadcasts on Radio Fabrik at 7:06 PM Salzburg, Austria time and 1:06 PM New York on the 4th Saturday of the month. Check us out this Saturday, September 24th to hear our latest work. As always, you can find the podcast posted later on the website at https://www.geographicalimaginations.org/episodes/.

EPISODE TWENTY TWO Everyday Symphony Vol.1
Does a city have its own song? A hum and beat that makes it unique? Join us on this short expedition to record the soundscape produced by the everyday interactions of people and place in Old Town Salzburg. With microphone in hand we drift through the narrow streets and lanes capturing a different kind of music and consider a different way of thinking about our sensory experience of place.
This episode will broadcast first from Radio Fabrik on Saturday, August 27th at 7:06 PM Salzburg time (1:06 PM New York). You can find it on the website under the Episodes tab after that.
