Håfa Adai, VexHeads! We're going around the world to Where America's Day Begins this week, with special guest Kylon Eckert. We talk all about the flag of Guam (and its inaccuracies!) before moving into the flags of Guam's villages themselves. Turns out, 19 flags done by the same person may need some second opinions.

We've got a sense of déjà flew this week, as first and future guest Nick Page is back on the show!

Mind your manners and raise your standards, class! Asst. Professor Dr. Carlos Morales-Ramírez drops by the studio to school us on the research methods he uses when studying flags and writing his Driver Award-winning presentations. We chat all about who puts maps on flags and what puts flags on the map; we dive into an in-depth discussion on Puerto Rico; and we discuss something called "human geography".

We've got NAVA All-Star Adib Altallal on this week, as we go over the ins and outs of planning the annual meetings.

Cheerio, VexHeads! We've got Jason Saber, one of the UK's foremost vexillologists—and the man who literally wrote the book on British County Flags—in the studio this week.

Divine Providence has struck the studio this week, as we have author- and editor-extraordinaire Christopher Maddish here to talk all about his new book, The Flag Revelation! We spend a short amount of time quibbling over whether it's providence or synchronicity that lead a lot of U.S. state flags to look similar (and not just the S.O.B.s you're thinking of, trust me). But Chris isn't just here to talk about the book--he's got a LOT of design ideas for folks born abroad, for lesser-known holidays, you name it.SHOW NOTES HERE!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/flagged-for-content--5732422/support.
What's up, VexHeads? We've got Maxwell Feldmann in the studio this week, as we go over his design process for a new flag for Illinois!

Brian Cham remains in the studio to talk about his "6 Deal-Breakers of Bad Flag Design" and how they're meant to complement other works, not override them.
