Cop City

ITS040: Geography of Mysticism

In this last episode of Isn't That Spatial, we cover places that are believed to have some mystical powers/woo-woo significance based on geographic location.       This episode is dedicated to Sarah Wirtz. <3

The Future of Gas Stations

Just in time for your summer road trip, we're talking about gas stations and their uncertain future as the world moves towards electric cars. Will they adapt to electrification or become relics operating on the fringes of society? And what will become of our beer caves? Imagine along with us!

Cop City

On this episode, we·re discussing the 85-acre, $90M+ planned urban development located at the edges of Atlanta known as Cop City. We talk about the significance of the land it is being planned on, how it upends some VERY RECENT urban plans sponsored by the City of Atlanta, and what broader political and geographic components are at work here that have made Cop City so infamous on a national scale.     View our Show Notes [http://isntthatspatial.net/episodes/2023/02/cop-city] and additional episodes at IsntThatSpatial.net [http://isntthatspatial.net]!

Geography of Breakfast

Mmmmm. The geography just doesn't get much more casual than this, folks. This episode is all about the geography of breakfast. And I, for one, could go for an extra side of casual this week. Where did the concept of the American breakfast even come from? Geography is the answer! Dig in as we discuss the origin of breakfast favorites from eggs to bagels to that Instagram-famous breakfast dish. And we're so excited to feature music from ITS composer (Daniel Kirschenbaum) Danger Field [https://dangerfield1.bandcamp.com/album/intuition]'s new album, "Intuition"- available on Bandcamp and streaming platforms the world over. (We're loving the triumphant tone the title track is giving at the conclusion of this episode!)

Pirate Radio

On this episode, we dive into the pirates and the guerillas of radio and how they have used the spaces available to them - be it ships or public housing units - to find and create communities big and small around the radio dial.
