What happens when the Russian government catch you taking photos and writing articles shortly after a war breaks out?

Spectalern, what it feels like to travel over 50,000 miles by bicycle, foot, horse, raft, ski and dug out canoe.

How close Charlie came to spending his life in a Russian prison? How long a triathlon needs to be in order for it to take four months to complete?

Why distinctions between European and Asian people makes no sense to anyone on the border? And much more.

In other news, this episode is brought to you by Optimal Carnival.

Organ meats are some of the most nutrient dense foods on the planet. Our ancestors prize them so much for their vital properties that they prioritized eating them first.

The founders of Optimal Carnival understood the amazing benefits, but found it difficult to source a variety of high quality organ meat.

They disliked the process of preparing them and trying to make them tasty, which anyone who's tried to cook liver is probably familiar with.

Optimal Carnival started sourcing 100% grass-fed organ meats from New Zealand, freeze drying the organs and encapsulating them into convenient bovine gelatin capsules.

These products are 100% grass-fed and grass-finished, and free of hormones, pesticides, antibiotics, and GMOs.

So if you've been thinking that you want to introduce more organ meats into your diet, you've maybe heard about some of the huge benefits that you can get from them, but you either don't have the time or the inclination or even the taste to be able to deal with eating it and cooking it, this is an awesome way to get all of the organ meats that you need,

blending that high quality New Zealand grass-fed grass-finished beef without actually having to cook it at home.

Also, you can get 10% of everything, site wide if you go to amazon.com slash Optimal Carnival and use the code WisdomSave10 at checkout.
