The Soviet Who Saved the World (ft. Alex from History Impossible)
While I was in Texas, enjoying the honeymoon I knew I had to record stuff, because the show won't wait for me, but I did not want to do heartbreaking stuff. Thankfully, Alex had listened to my pre-wedding episode, and wanted to dig deeper about our hero, Stanislav Petrov. We used the rare occasion of a much smaller time zone difference than usual and made this for You - which Alex also posted on his feed too. Enjoy!

Stop with self-pity party
Dude you are a journalist. Life is hard and full of tragedy, your job is to report facts and analyze. This podcast is an unbearable listen at times because of the constant sniveling and self-pity expressed by the host. Its a shame because his heart is in the right place and the east European angle he brings to the topic is fascinating and worth listening to. Just be more professional with your emotions.
