Announcing a whole new look for the Minds Behind Maps podcast!
And a complete redesign of the website: mindsbehindmaps.com/
ALT The new Minds behind Maps logo
New somewhat different, and somewhat late episode!
Here's the best books I read in 2024
Every episode of @MindsBehindMaps I ask people for book recommendations
I thought I'd flip the tables and give you my recommendations for the New Year
Watch: youtu.be/py-AschzJuI
New episode!
Satellite Images & Data Science are more common than ever in journalism news stories today
I sat down with @k3blu3 from @Bloomberg to talk about how the magic happens

Looking for your help! 🛫
Alright twitter, I need your help
A week ago I dropped a 45min doc about the history of Flight Simulator, now seen by 220k+ people
I'd like to have Jörg Neumann, the head of Microsoft Flight Simulator on my podcast to talk about @MSFSofficial 2024
Can anyone put me in touch?
New episode!
Here's my conversation with Ex-Vox video producer, turned independent YouTuber @PhilEdwardsInc about how he thinks about maps to tell stories
We talk video stories, journalism on Youtube, and of course, maps!

New @MindsBehindMaps dropping soon 👀
Nerding out about maps with @PhilEdwardsInc
No new episode today
Even better, I want to tell you the story of how Microsoft made the most realistic map, with Flight Simulator
In a few days Flight Simulator 2024 is out
You might think it's just another video game
In reality it's the latest in a 40y+ series pushing the boundaries of graphics & mapping
Let me tell you the Story of how Microsoft accidentally made the best map -> youtu.be/JIQxJWoKcPs

Thanks for hosting me @MaxLenormand! Easily one of the most fun podcasts I’ve ever done. 🚀
Hyperspectral images can see 100s of bands instead of 3-4 of optical sats
I talked with @awaisahmedna about engineering & funding, but that's only the beginning:
Awais has a big, big vision for @PixxelSpace
It gets pretty wild, and sci-fi

I have been listening to @MaxLenormand 's @MindsBehindMaps podcast for about two years and am so excited to be on the other side and tell my story. If you are curious about @Fused_io have a listen
Deploying Python code is still... messy
Here's my conversation with ex-Uber Data Scientist @Sina_Kashuk on what @Fused_io is trying to do to speed up how data scientists work with serverless computing, starting with geospatial

❔ Why ❔ How ❔ Where ❔
Curious about the importance of seabed mapping, its limitations and technological innovations?
Our Project Director Jamie has the answers ➡️ youtube.com/watch?v=rRi0UY2z…
👍 Thank you to @MindsBehindMaps for giving us a platform to share our mission.
New episode!
Deep engineering, high res 3D maps of the world, lots of satellites, and business models
What's there not to love?
Meet the man who wants to build a 20cm, 3D map of the world
All with lots of small satellites, like a *lot* of them
We go deep in the engineering weeds, how to map the world so accurately & how to build a company around it

I loved the episode on the @MindsBehindMaps podcast where they talked about hunger. My best quote from the episode was hunger is political.

🎙️ Our Director Jamie McMichael-Phillips recently joined this phenomenal @MindsBehindMaps #podcast to discuss the #Seabed2030 project and the importance of #ocean mapping.
Out now: youtube.com/watch?v=rRi0UY2z…
As of June 2024, we've only mapped 26.1% of all our oceans
@seabed2030 is trying to bring that to 100% by 2030
How comes we only have 1/4th the oceans mapped?
How do you map it?
Why does it even matter?

Hunger is not a problem Humanity has solved yet
And I can't think of a better person to talk about why that is than @CreoleBauer who's spent 20y+ working at the @WFP tackling hunger across the world

Rocket companies, a rogue NASA administrator, and the time I met Putin, years ago
Space isn't just for gov anymore, companies are in
And there's been 1 guy telling us their stories
Here's my conversation with @ashleevance about the New Space industry, the rogue NASA administrator behind a lot of it & the time I met Putin
