Subject: [MapHist] history of cartography in the US media

Dear All:

Those of you in listening range of WNYC 93.9 FM in (where else) New York
City might want to tune in on Friday September 9th, between 1.20pm and
2.00pm (Eastern) when Leonard Lopate will devote the "Please Explain"
portion of his show to the subjec of maps and their history. (Previous
topics include why men have nipples, cricket, triskaidekaphobia, taxes,
asthma, black holes, and how to read poetry.) Unless everything goes
pear-shaped, I'll be one speaker; the other is still t.b.a., I believe.

If you don't live in earshot of WNYC and are really are desperate to
hear, you can get a live internet feed from www.wnyc.org.

Best,

Matthew
