Why Would You Tell Me That?
Reissue: Your Geography Teacher Was Wrong!
Season 12, Ep. 24
•
This week the UN voted to adopt a new map of the world, replacing the Mercator Projection that's been the standard since 1569. 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.
