We're so happy to be chatting with author Jerry Brotton on his book, "Four Points of the Compass: The Unexpected History of Direction." As we head into the busy holiday travels, don't you wonder about where you are going and why? How did the four directions - North, South, East, and West become a thing? Whether you are directionally challenged or savvy, this program is for you! Jerry will be answering these and so many other directional questions.
