EP1 Why is North up? Jul 10, 2023

Why is north up? Has north always been up? What used to be up before north was up? Does it matter if a direction other than north is up? And have you ever been on a year five geography trip where you got lost in the woods and wet yourself in front of Mr. Dugdale?

EP2 Why British cities make no sense Aug 28, 2023

Why is Reading, a massive settlement of 170,000 people, NOT a city, while the tiny Welsh village of St Davids IS a city? Is it something to do with cathedrals? Or universities?

EP6 There are NOT 195 countries Jun 23, 2024

EP7 Weird maps win elections - Gerrymandering explained Aug 31, 2024

Why does the USA draw district maps with absolutely bonkers shapes? And how do squiggly districts help the wrong politicians win elections? And have we been pronouncing "Gerrymandering" wrong for 200 years?
