Real Sausages and Cheese (Dave and Dan 'cast 05)

Yeah yeah, we'll get a webiste, I swear.

More freewheeling today, looking at Daniil's decision to leave Putin's Russia.

Why Canada?

Oh I learned to say 'bicycle' in Russian.  Apparently my accent needs a lot of work.

There are no rules in Russia, this is done on purpose.

Please give to the UNHCR and/or the Red Cross.

Episode 5

Don't Command Me, Do Something For Me (Dave and Dan 'cast 04)

Look, I'l eventually get us our own website....

In this episode we talk about three major events in Russia in 2014. 

Dan taught me a new word!  (I'm going to learn one Russian word per show, I should be fluent before 2050).

Please give to the UNHCR and/or the Red Cross.

Episode 4

Doomed to Progress (Dave and Dan 'cast 03)

Yerevan and Sault Ste. Marie connected again today.  I wonder, was anyone else from here talking to someone from there today?  

Today Dan and I talked about the Medvedev years, and I struggled to proberly pronounce his name.   Dan promises to teach me a little Russian once he is allowed to come to Canada.

We seem to have nailed down when I would leave, and it's the Georgia war.

I plugged my twitter handle, while Dan said 'please be attentive to politics' which, really, is better than me plugging my twitter handle.

I swear we're going to get a website and our own feed.

Again, we urge you to give to the UNHCR and the Red Cross.

Episode 3

You Flush The Toilet and Everything Goes Away (Dave and Dan 'Cast 02)

In this episode we explore further the rise of Putin and how he was viewed by the average Russian.

We alsoo continue to figure out when I would leave a country like this.

We talk generally about the incremental removal of what civil liberties and society Russia had under Putin.

Please give to organizations that will help Ukrainian refugees, including the Red Cross and the UNHCR.

A Russian and a Canadian Psychologist Walk Into a Bar

No this isn't really a DaveSoloThing.  However, I needed a place to put this.  Also, this was not recorded in a bar.  It's not a bad title though right?

We'll probably eventually go with a variation on 'My Nuremberg' which is Dan's idea.

This is a new podcast project that I will be doing with a freind Dan, a fellow PhD in psychology from Russia.  He and his family are no longer in Russia (thankfully) and we decided to speak a bit about the current situation.

We urge you to give to any charities that are supporting Ukrainian Refugees, such as the UNHCR,or the Red Cross.
