What's the Point

An exploration of many things, Civil engineering, LTNs, space, change, politics. Jon calls himself an activist - but in my opnion, whilst his style might be direct - he is an ambassador for our Urban futures.

We talk about Waterfalls, climate, and data driven decision making in this very insightful podcast with Andy Middleton. Back in the 1990s Andy was one of the pioneers of adventure based education, he remains so today, but his work now has a much broader reach and is challenging everyone to do the right thing to protect their futures.

WTP caught up with Elaine and her energetic ways to dicuss finding purpose and how that relates to maps.

Talking maps with a Knitting Qualitative Researcher. Lynda is a keen supporter of the podcast, possibly our biggest fan. She is well respected in the world of asking questions and delivering insight.

We talk disruption, sustainability and start-up mentatlity with a guy who had his first meeting with me in a lake. Mark Shayler takes some time out of a super busy schedule to talk maps.

Maps as a metaphor for life and living. A wonderful chat with Mike Parker who: 1) Responded to a Twitter tag to create this episode 2) Introduced me to Cartographic graffiti in the cliffs of the Isle of Wight - Read more here: http://harpercollins.co.uk/products/map-addict-the-bestselling-tale-of-an-obsession-mike-parker 3) Explained Human Navigation and the advantages of specific Street names 4)...

I caught up with an old friend from 2001 - a space oddity you might say, where yours truly is a.k.a.ed "Le Wass d'Space" Step by step through your world with a dynamic map that looks a bit like a Spaghetti Monster centred on you and connected and influenced by everything that matters to you. Is that the point?

I met one of Brewing with BIM podcast hosts David Campbell in January 2023. Dave and I have a shared interest in Application Engineering for construction and I've been following their podcast to steal ideas about how to go about doing this one. I promise I'll deal with the scratchy WTP intro later - my creative juices weren't flowing pre-publication - sorry Dave!! Step inside the world...

One of my crazy ideas goto people is Martin McDonnell. He agreed to come and play with my first attempt at creating a podcast. If you don't know Edify.ac and the work of Martin - have a listen. Thanks for playing Martin, looking forward to Round 2.

Andy Evans is a surveyor. Maps are his thing, and making maps is where he ended up in his career to date. This podcast is going to explore the wonderful world of survey and mapping, and hopefully it's going to get more followers than his self-indulgent blog. Help and contributions welcome :-)
