    S1 E3 - The Rest is Utter Nonsense - Sam Dixon, CWAC Labour

    Sam Dixon of CWAC Labour (currently dissolved), found time in her busy schedule to chat with me ahead of the big day on Thursday. We covered Boundaries, the NHS, Sewage, the imoprtance of Pragmatism in politics, why Kier is purposefully being boring and why Chester is the fabulous place that it is.

    S2 E8 - What's the Point? - Mike Darracot

    Mike's journey to Pavey Ark from Llandudno triggered a lot of memories of the North West. You might even think that Place roulette was a fix - it isn't. Mike is a true Maps fan - it was a pleasure to discuss his work with maps and get some insight in how he would make this journey as a mapping professional.

    S1 E2 - The Rest is Utter Nonsense - Rob Herd, CWAC Lib Dem

    Chester South and Eddisbury's candidate for the General Election took time out to answer some low level questions about the Liberal Democrat outlook both nationally and locally. We touched on Proportional Representation, Connectivity (floats my boat), Education, Modern Languages, parades and discussed without saying it, exactly what the Romans have done for Chester. Great bloke, great chat

    S2 E7 - What's the Point? - Katie Driver

    Katie brought some interesting ideas about Rich Pictures and navigating uncertainty (with Camels) in this episode as she journeyed from Walvis Bay to Llandudno Pier. We used Katie's expertise to carve out some thinking time and discussed, Mental Maps, Coaching, Hinterlands, Ecotones and the value of slow ways.

    S1 E1 - The Rest is Utter Nonsense - Nick Brown, CWAC Green

    Maps or Politics? It's all Politics..... Nick braved the fresh breeze to talk through a few things with me about politics and specifically local politics in Chester. The format is simple, Favourite National Policy, Local Policy, Radio Station, Chester Event, Wort/most embarrassing National & local policy and the Highly recommended info source. Wondering if you'd vote Green and if they have more to offer than just legalising cannabis? Find out here.

    S2 E6 - What's the Point? - James Ferguson

    Managed to catch up with James who is on a mission with the Outward Bound Trust to give more young people an outdoor education. Cracking conversation about adventure, maps as a metaphor for life. Food and specifically fell food and the attitude of always exploring and adventuring - what else is there?

    S2 E5 - What's the Point? - Rachel Tyrrell

    The CEO of The Survey Association Rachel sat down with me to talk music and adventure plotted clearly on a mapping background. A master of creativity and doing, it was a pleasure to talk to Rachel and create some sparks of ideas on how to promote our shared profession of Survey to a wider audience.

    S2 E4 - What's the Point? - Stephen Hampshire

    A shared interest of doing connected myself with Steve, who in his words, is someone that helps people to understand why their customers feel what they feel and do what they do. This is clearly a process that needs maps. Steve described his journey to the Isle of Wight and we touched lightly on climbing, politics and customer journey mapping.
