Busy working on EPISODE SEVENTEEN, Navigating Terra Incognita. We start here in Salzburg with a statue of St. Vergilius, an 8th century Irish saint who believed the world was round and then travel out to terra incognita in a leather boat with another Irish saint, St. Brendan the Navigator. It is the Voyage of St. Brendan, a popular medieval religious narrative, that we focus on and explore how different readings of this text produce different geographical imaginations. Contributors include Dr. Paul Pearson of the The Thomas Merton Center at Bellarmine University, Dr. Clara Strijbosch of Utrecht University and Jon Mackley from the University of Northampton.
The episode first broadcasts Saturday, March 26th on Radio Fabrik at 7:06 PM Salzburg, Austria time and 2:06 PM New York. As always, you can find the podcast posted later on the website at https://www.geographicalimaginations.org/episodes/.
