Trains are an incredibly important piece of transportation technology. But while the United States is not often considered to be a train country overall, it actually kind of is!

Join us as we tackle the global geography of trains including who carries the most passengers, what the longest rail line is, and what the United States', Canada's and Mexico's rail infrastructure looks like. -

The Nile River is an incredible geographic feature on our planet. But despite being so closely associated with Egypt, it actually runs through many other countries making it equally important to hundreds of millions of people. Despite this importance, one dam being constructed in Ethiopia could upend how and where water goes throughout much of the Nile River basin. And this is leaving some really large geopolitical questions hanging out in the open. -

More than anything else, petroleum (or gasoline) truly makes the world go round. It powers our personal vehicles, freight trucks, train, and ships and even our large passenger jets. Because of this it's extremely valuable! So much so that oil is being extracted from the ground on every continent except Antarctica. In this episode, we run through the geography of oil production, how oil became a staple fuel, and what "peak oil" even means anymore. -

Few holidays are as associated with a single country as Saint Patrick's Day is to Ireland. And there's a good reason for that! Not only does the holiday borrow from legends and tales that arise from the island, but also the holiday is sort of foundational for the country itself! In this episode, Hunter and Geoff trace how Saint Patrick's Day went from a single person to a global holiday to celebrate Irish-ness! -

Time zones are an incredible piece of geography! Every region of the world has a time attached to it that's globally accepted. But this wasn't always the case! In fact, about a hundred years ago each and every location had its own time creating a lot of issues. As such, time zones started to become a thing and the rest is, as we say, history! -
