For those of you who have speakers on your computer: Check out the September 4, 1998 (Episode 110) of "This American Life." "Mapping" " Five ways to map the world. We bring you five stories -- one about people who who map the world the traditional way - by drawing maps of things you can see. The other stories are about people who map the world using smell, sound, touch, and taste. The world re-drawn, by the five senses.
