This week's episode is coming to you from the back of a London Black Cab! Gyles kept calm and carried on to deliver the purple people today's episode on maps!

We embark on a captivating journey through the history of maps, uncovering the hidden stories behind the words we use to describe these navigational tools. Join us as we delve into the etymological roots of cartography and discover how maps have shaped our understanding of the world.

Enjoy Susie’s Trio for the week:

Retrogradation: a backward movement.

Latrogenic: caused by a doctor or medical professional.

Fantods: There is an indescribable complaint, which will never allow a moment’s repose to mind or body; which nothing will satisfy—which allows of no beginning, and no ending—which wheels round the mind like a squirrel in its cage, ever moving, but still making no progress.

Gyles' poem this week was ‘The Goldfish That Died’ by Gyles Brandreth (the shortest poem in the history of world literature, and features in the Guinness Book of World Records!)

‘O,

Wet

Pet’
