"This American Life" is a weekly radio show on National Public Radio. Look for September 4, 1998, Episode 110, entitled "Mapping". This episode's theme focuses on maps. The first act of the show is a story about a guy who makes maps of his own neighborhood, but in terms of visualization, he's actually using information visualization to discover relationships between otherwise entirely unrelated features of his local geography. For example, pumpkins on porches vs. neighborhood newsletter participation.
Check out URL links to some of his maps at the bottom of the episode description. WOW!
