So we decided to reissue our 2022 episode where BBC presenter, geographer and author, Nicholas Crane, gives the lads the lowdown on the map that changed the world, why it was so useful but also why it also gave every one of us a warped picture of the world. Neil also tells Dave about the statue that has more 1000 outfits and reveals the things you might see when you're out walking your weasel.</p><p><br></p><p>Sources:</p><p>UN votes to adopt new world map to reflect Africa's true size</p><p>https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ce30vp55dnlo</p><p><br></p><p>https://www.mannekenpis.brussels/en/</p><p>https://www.wired.com/2009/03/ff-diamonds-2/Presented</p><p><br></p><p>Originally published: Nov 02, 2022</p><p><br></p><p>New full episodes every Thursday.</p><p>Bonus mini-eps on Sundays and Tuesdays.</p><p><br></p><p>To listen to Dave on the radio check out</p><p>https://www.todayfm.com/shows/dave-moore-1499732</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>To see Neil on tour check out</p><p>https://www.neildelamere.com/reinventing-the-neil-tour</p><p>https://www.neildelamere.com/neils-on-wheels-tour</p><p><br></p><p>You can watch the podcast on Youtube</p><p>https://www.youtube.com/@WhyWouldYouTellMeThatpodcast</p><p><br></p><p>Presented and Produced by Neil Delamere and Dave Moore</p><p><br></p><p>Edited by Diarmuid O'Brien</p><p><br></p><p>Music by Dave Moore</p><p><br></p><p>Artwork by Ray McDonnell</p><p><br></p><p><br></p>","author_name":"Neil Delamere Dave Moore"}
