    13. No Way Out?

    In the final episode of the latest series of Putin, Jonny Dymond and three expert guests examine how the Russian president shaped the war in Ukraine between March and October 2022, and how the war has begun to shape him. With Russia’s military position weakened by fierce Ukrainian counter-attacks, how much pressure is Vladimir Putin really under? Is there any way out for Putin, or might an increasingly difficult war proving his undoing? Guests: Steve Rosenberg, BBC Russia Editor Nina Khrushcheva, Professor of International Affairs at the New School in New York Dr Mark Galeotti, author of Putin’s Wars: From Chechnya to Ukraine Production coordinators: Helena Warwick-Cross and Siobhan Reed Sound engineer: Graham Puddifoot Producer: Nathan Gower Researcher: Octavia Woodward Series Editor: Simon Watts

    12. The Lightning Strike

    On the 24th of February 2022, after months of military build-up and increasingly grave warnings, Vladimir Putin stepped over the brink and ordered the invasion of Ukraine. In this episode, Jonny Dymond tells the story of the crucial first month of the war, as Putin’s ambitions first faltered and then collapsed in the face of fierce Ukrainian resistance. By examining his speeches, public appearances and the political context, this programme chronicles Putin’s first weeks as a war leader. To dispel the fog of war and understand Putin’s role at this dramatic time, Jonny Dymond is joined by: Bridget Kendall - former BBC Moscow and Diplomatic Correspondent, now Master of Peterhouse, Cambridge. Vitaliy Shevchenko - Russia Editor at BBC Monitoring and co-presenter of Ukrainecast Owen Matthews - Journalist, historian and author of Overreach Production coordinators: Helena Warwick-Cross and Siobhan Reed Sound engineer: Rod Farquhar Producers: Nathan Gower Researcher: Octavia Woodward Series Editor: Simon Watts

    Merry Christmas ... From Your Favorite Gay, Liberal Atheist 🎄

    It’s almost Christmas, and instead of a long episode, Daniel takes a moment to reflect. In this short, candid episode, Daniel — a gay, liberal atheist living in the Bible Belt — talks about community, anger, compassion, and the challenge of choosing love in an increasingly divided world. Topics include: Why hatred is easy — and love takes actual workThe limits of arguing with strangers onlineFinding common ground without abandoning your valuesHow small, local acts of kindness still matterWhat it means to coexist with people you deeply disagree withThis episode is raw, unfiltered, and intentionally imperfect — a holiday pause to ask a hard question: Can we still be the love we want to see in the world, even now? 🎧 Listeners are invited to leave voicemails at thereisnogodandwereallgonnadie.com to be played and responded to on future episodes.

    11. To the Brink

    In late 2021, Vladimir Putin emerges from his Covid-19 bunker with an even smaller inner circle, increasingly outlandish demands of NATO and the west, and an immense military build-up on the border of Ukraine. How did seclusion change his mindset? And how did the west misunderstand him so badly? To understand the Russian President and interpret his words and actions in those crucial weeks before the invasion, Jonny Dymond is joined by: Andrei Soldatov - Investigative journalist, specialist in Russia’s intelligence services, and author of ‘The Compatriots: The Russian Exiles Who Fought Against the Kremlin’ Sarah Rainsford - BBC Eastern Europe Correspondent and former Moscow Correspondent Sir Laurie Bristow - Former British diplomat and UK Ambassador to Russia, 2016-2020.

    8. The Splinter

    Master strategist or opportunistic gambler? Vladimir Putin styles himself as a judo master – an expert in spotting weakness in his opponents and then exploiting it.
