This week I'm joined by Jess Khoury, a writer and fantasy cartographer, to discuss fictional mapmaking. We talk about how mountains don't bend and rivers don't split, the logic behind human settlements, and how to name your places. Plus, there are dogs.

HOSTED by Dr. Moiya McTier (@GoAstroMo), astrophysicist and folklorist
