I just happened to be listening to the radio this morning when a broadcast came on, which included a section about The Phantom Atlas: The Greatest Myths, Lies and Blunders on Maps by Edward Brooke-Hitching who was on the programme. The remainder was pretty good as well. Anyone knowledgeable about something called a ‘podcast’ can download the programme here http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b085t3f2 DaveP
