The first big news is that we’re upping the ante here at CaucasTalk. As threatened back in January, we’re moving to three releases per month. That’s right—3 (three) (III) (trés) (три). This will allow us to get you more of the juicy content we’re creating and that you’re craving. Look for releases on the 1st, 10th, and 20th of each month.
Also as threatened, we’re injecting more interviews into our program. We’ve had some so far, but we’re now aiming for one or two each month. After all, there are a lot of fascinating people out there doing pretty dang cool stuff in the North Caucasus (besides us of course 😉
So enjoy our chat with our good friend today, Milo the Mountaineer, who describes his recent venture up to the summit of Elbrus in fascinating detail.
