EPISODE FOUR Little Stories
Have you ever wanted to map your own city? What would you include? What stories would your map tell? In EPISODE FOUR we join Eva Krallinger and Matthias Gruber on the streets of Salzburg and in Studio B at Radio Fabrik to discuss their alternative city guide mapping project, “Fraeulein Flora’s Favourite Hangouts” where they bring Salzburg’s Little Stories to life.

EPISODE FIVE Winter Wonderland
How much have the broadcasts of the Winter Olympics and other world-class winter events informed how viewers from around the world imagine the Alps? In EPISODE FIVE we take a closer look at the geographies of world-class bobsled and skeleton and speak with geographer Dr. Christopher Gaffney about the politics of Host City selection for the Winter Olympics.

EPISODE SIX In Maria’s Footsteps
Join us and walk in both Maria von Trapp’s and Julie Andrew’s footsteps as we tour Salzburg as seen in the 1965 film classic The Sound of Music. Veteran tour guide Peter Baron von Werteim of Bob’s Special Tours discusses the deep inner experience of many of the tour guests. Helping us to bring the geography to this iconic film, cultural geographer Joseph Palis makes links between our tour and current research in film tourism.
