There is an awful lot of information densely packed into this nine minute piece; perhaps too much. I listened to it three times, and picked up something new each time. The production is good and the material well presented, but I sometimes found myself reaching for the rewind button to better understand what was being said. The topic itself is fascinating, and as is said in the piece, "it is extraordinary how poorly educated Americans are about geography". If nothing else, this piece taught me how little I know about mapmaking. Producer Jackson Braider does a good job of fitting a lot of information into the piece, and introduces the idea of ethnocentrism in mapmaking; looking at the world through one's own cultural frame. Although I enjoyed listening to the feature, this is one of the few times I would suggest that a nine minute piece be expanded into a half-hour or hour long documentary.
