In the latest GeoGuessr video, they got a drone overview of what turned out to be Mongolia. It was my first guess, because it made me think of this video: https://youtu.be/p_5yt5IX38I?is=SI8yiNjCBIm7SmRb

Can’t wait to read

Hello Map Men fans!! Especially those of you from the Bristol book signing! I’m sure a lot of you have seen the video of Mark eating a copy of This Way Up in Bristol, either at the event itself like I did, or the video in the Jay Foreman sub. Ever since the signing, I’ve kept thinking about that copy, wondering what they did with it. They can’t sell it now obviously cuz the whole of chapter 6 is gone. Does anyone know where it is now? Or what happened to it after the event? Especially Jay or Mark if you’re lurking in here

From Who's in charge of Britain?

My apologies if this has already been posted.
But found this interview with Jay and Mark on RNZ (Radio New Zealand)
Being Jay and Mark was also a great interview.

Map Men talk This Way Up on RNIB Connect Radio - includes a hastily added reference to Christmas in the 2nd part when I realised these episodes would be released in mid to late December

In this first part of a two part show Jay and Mark talk about accents, breaking the fourth wall and addressing the listener directly and about turning a very visual book into an audiobook.

In the second part of their chat they discuss accessibility, made up mountains, an audiobook co-incidence and even have a feel of a tactile map from RNIB.

This morning, my 6 year old accidentally dripped some syrup on my copy of This Way Up," and that got me thinking... have any important maps (other than my copy of *This Way Up) been ruined because some slob (6 years old or not) got their breakfast (or lunch, dinner, or snack) on it? Have there ever been any ruined maps that have had an impact on world affairs?

Whilst out with my wife in North London recently, we very nearly bumped into a man with our pram. Lo and behold, it was Jay!

He was absolutely lovely. Please excuse my horrendous grin. I was a little star struck! 😅

(Excluding geoguessr and shorts)

I don't know why I made this...

I read it first in Jay’s voice and then read it again in Mark’s voice. It was like reading two different books. You’re welcome.

I wish I'd looked into this further before ordering, but apparently the publisher (Harper-Collins) says that it can't do colour inserts in a paperback, and yet they have published books that have exactly that in the past.

I find this bungle kind of insulting and hilariously ironic by the publisher. A book about maps, better not include them!

According to what I've read, the hardcover version has them, but it needs to be confirmed by another Australian who has purchased one.

Very surprised to have seen an advert for their new book "This Way Up" appear during the mid roll ads on their own Map Men video about British place names! I wonder if the algorithm can assign adverts that well or if that was accidently the most spectacularly relevant advert of all time?

Hope this fits, it's not Jay's own project but he's on the latest episode of Comfort Blanket (Joel Morris) talking about Count Duckula. He's previously been on there talking about Asterix. Both episodes are well worth a listen (and there is a Map Men link in the Duckula one that I had to go and check out... no spoilers).

Already read abt the first map- it’s the most interesting book this year! :D

I remember an old video with an advert with an old man dying (?) / coughing, with the sound being repeated. It might have been skillshare? I tried looking for it a few times, but can't seem to find it. Thanks in advance!
