    • I Don’t Know Who Needs To Hear This, But Buckwheat Is Overrated

      I Don’t Know Who Needs To Hear This, But Buckwheat Is Overrated
      Nov 14 2021

      For some inexplicit reason, Russians LOVE buckwheat.

      It’s a grain that can and is (but really shouldn’t) be used as a side dish for basically all meals, given to babies as porridge, and as a breakfast staple.

      I’m here to tell you that it tastes like dirt, and is the absolute inferior and weird cousin of rice, flower, potatoes and almost every other carb out there.

      God bless Masha, but even she cannot quite defend this little gem… it’s not even as appealing as Russian architecture on a sloshy autumn morning.

      Words and phrases:
      - Dirt: грязь - ‘gryaz’
      - Buckwheat : Гречневая каша - ‘Grechnevaya kasha’
      - Kvass: Квас - ‘Kvas’
      - Jelly Meat: Холодец - ‘Holodets’

    • A Russian Would Never Take A Bribe ... Right?

      A Russian Would Never Take A Bribe ... Right?
      Oct 29 2021

      Apparently, surprisingly, we had to bribe our way into and around Russia.

      In this episode we share our experiences dealing with pirates, stubborn officials, as well as the shameless use of a priest’s garb and our new-born’s cuteness to lubricate the mechanisms of bureaucracy.

      We also explore the Russian obsession with un-castrated animals and acid to the face.

      Words and phrases:
      - Corruption: Коррупция- ‘Korruptsiya’
      - Government: Дума- ‘duma’
      - Crime: криминал - ‘kriminal’
      - Dog: Собака - Sobaka

    • Never Invade (aka Visit) Russia During The Winter

      Never Invade (aka Visit) Russia During The Winter
      Aug 18 2021

      In this episode Zac recounts some holiday experiences with Masha and extrapolates that perhaps (despite Masha’s positive reviews) visiting Russia during the winter may not be the best idea!

      With temperatures ranging from -20 to -15 degrees Celsius, what could possibly go wrong?

      Words and phrases:
      - Cold: холод - ‘kholod’
      - Urine: моча- ‘mocha’
      - Yellow: желтый - ‘zheltyy’
      - Snow: снег- sneg
