Episode Synopsis "The world as a village"

Hello I am Jenna and I am Menam, and this is the floor is lava podcast. We will be uploading a podcast every other Saturday all about geography. Today is our first episode and we the theme is “The world as a village”. To understand the problems in our world in a more simplified manner, we have shrunk the world of 7.8 billion people (as of June 2020) into a village of 100 people. This is done is by using ratios of the world and applying it to 100 people. This means that one person in this “global village” accounts for approximately 7 million people (for context this is the same as the population of Thailand).
