Welcome to the geography of everything, the podcast where we try to figure out the geography of, well, everything.
Stephen Hawking spent his life trying to come up with one equation that could describe everything in the universe. But geography, well, doesn’t really work like that. Because, in its simplest form, geography advocates for the connectivity of everything. It believes that there are a million different versions, realities, and perspectives on any phenomenon, depending on how you look at it, and from where. And more than anything, geography believes that nothing exists in a vacuum, but instead, that our world is comprised of countless chain reactions, interactions, and connections that weave together the fabric of our world. From sea turtle migration to technological innovation, pandemics to veganism, geography is everywhere, and the connections are limitless.
Each episode of this podcast will cover a different phenomenon from big to small, silly to scary, humanities to biology, with the hope of discovering the geographies of it all.

Why do countries go to war? And when they do, how does it end? In this podcast we explore the importance of geography in interstate war and diplomacy with Assistant Professor of Political Science, Dr. Eric Min. We use examples from Ukraine and Russia, Israel and Palestine, Apollo Creed and Rocky Balboa, and many more to explore how states rationalize going to war, and why some conflicts seem impossible to solve.
