Bay Curious - Why Piedmont Is A Separate City From Oakland
Look closely at a map of Oakland and you'll notice an odd spot that seems to have been cut out. That's the city of Piedmont. Bay Curious listener David Levine wanted to know how and why Piedmont came to be separate. And he's curious about how that history has affected the relationship between the two places. KQED's Chris Hambrick went to find out. This episode first aired in 2019, but we still get questions about it on the regular.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Geography of Spain
Spain, like most countries, has a unitary national government but also has a series of subnational jurisdictions.
In most countries, these might be known as states or provinces; however, in Spain, they do things a little differently.
The political divisions in Spain aren’t arbitrary lines on a map. The divisions are usually based on unique histories, as well as cultural, linguistic, and geographic differences.
Learn more about the political and cultural geography of Spain and the various regions that comprise it on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
