Fresh Air

Infograph by Matt Stiles

One of the things I miss the most about the US is driving to work in the morning and listening to NPR. The Australian equivalent, the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Company), doesn’t do it for me but their BBC casts keep me satisfied.

I especially miss Fresh Air, with my girl Terry Gross.

As many of you know, I am gathering survey’s for an infographic on Nevada (which you can take here) and I stumbled on this graphic from the NPR Fresh Air tumblr (I know, how gangsta is Fresh Air with it’s own tumblr).

It was made by Matt Stiles, a data journalist at NPR. He calls the technique “heatmapping” and at first glance I thought it was something about ph levels. You can read more about it on The Daily Viz.
