NPR is running an ongoing story about Jim Fallows, a writer who is flying across the US, and spoke about it at the 2013 Esri Conference. Fallows is working with Esri to present his story. NPR/Marketplace has an extended interview with Esri president Jack Dangermond that is fascinating.

The first 5 minutes is interview with Fallows, but the next 20 minutes are about GIS.
