First Hour - The Evolution of World Maps - The U.N. General Assembly passed the "Correct the Map" resolution in September aimed to address distortions in commonly used maps, particularly the Mercator Map. A map that we have used since 1569, that exaggerates regions near the poles. While the resolution is largely symbolic, it spotlights the politics, dramas and complexities of maps. Philip Clark on Nightlife takes a deep dive with experts Greg Lauer and Dr Brendan Whyte, and a look at the shifting borders redrawn and reshaped over the centuries. 

Second Hour - Nightlife News Breakdown - Nightlife News Breakdown with Philip Clark, joined by Paul Bongiorno, veteran political reporter with 30+ years of experience and columnist for The Saturday Paper. 

Second Hour - Foreign Correspondent - Ukraine-Russia-US peace talks in Abu Dhabi have wrapped up, with agreement on a major prisoner exchange but no significant breakthrough on ending the war.

Hans van Leeuwen, International Economics Editor for The Telegraph is across the detail and brings the latest to Philip Clark and listeners to Nightlife.
