Bonus 5 - The Passion of Saint Shushanik

Bonus 5 - The Passion of Saint Shushanik

This is the story of the Passion of Saint Shushanik. Content Warning: Domestic Abuse, Body Horror.

St. Shushanik was an Armenian princess married to Varsken, the Pitiaksh (viceroy) of Georgia along with Vakhtang Gorgasali. This is a reading of the story, since it is the first piece of extant Georgian literature written in Georgian.

Podcast Magazine Interview

I got interviewed for the July Edition of the Podcast Magazine. Thank you all for being so supportive and amazing, and I hope you enjoy. I also want to thank you once more for waiting so patiently for the next narrative episode. I'm working very hard on researching and more importantly, getting my life together, and I'm reaching a point where I will be able to actually get an the episodes on Vakhtang out soon.

Warning: I was using my phone since this was last minute, and had to  use the Clubhouse App to talk.

One Year Anniversary!

It's been one year since we've started the podcast. Hear us read reviews, talk about the Yogurt-gate of Georgia/Armenia, give thanks out to people for support, discuss Georgia's modern day politics, and us talking about our year in podcasting. Slightly in that order with lots of topic bouncing. We're off script y'all.
