2/2

Each episode uncovers surprising stories hidden within #historical maps, transforming them into portals to the past.
My notable episodes:
📍 MapMaker: Episode 3 The Antidote to Misinformation (https://imperiia.scalar.fas.harvard.edu/imperiia/mapmaker-episode-3)
Lily and Kelly discuss an enterprising official of the East India Company and how he turned a dusty old Russian military map into a game-changing weapon for the British Army.

📍 Shakespeare Versus Stalin: Why Place Names Matter Continue (https://imperiia.scalar.fas.harvard.edu/imperiia/the-mapmaker-episode-3)
Graduate student Valerie Browne shares her research into the history of Crimean place names. She explains how Stalin attempted to remake the map after World War II and how Wikipedia allowed her to reconstruct the stories of lost, forgotten, and renamed villages.

4/4

📍 Watermelon Rebellion in Russian Empire (https://imperiia.scalar.fas.harvard.edu/imperiia/the-mapmaker-episode-6)
The convoluted events of the so-called Watermelon Rebellion, a little-known episode in Russian imperial history full of intrigue, deception, espionage, personal animosities, and… watermelons.

PS: Unfortunately, the podcast uses only Spotify, Apple and Soundcloud platforms, so I left the link to its website, but it's worth it even if you not keen on maps.
