    Other Borders with Michael Hillard of The Red Line
    Jan 11 2026

    Greetings, Comrades! Today we are joined by our good friend Michael Hillard of The Red Line podcast to get updates about what’s going on in the other periphery of the post-Soviet sphere – central asia and transnistria. There’s also a bit about Australia, because the temperature differences at the time of recording between Michael and me couldn’t be more stark.

    2.1 Z(ed) is Dead
    Jan 5 2026

    "Zed's dead, baby. Zed's dead."

    In this episode of The Eastern Border, we dive into the surreal start of 2026. While the world watches the US conduct a "Blitzkrieg" operation in Venezuela to snatch Nicolas Maduro, the Kremlin is strangely silent. Why? Because the "Jungle Law" Vladimir Putin prayed for has finally arrived—and he’s realizing he isn’t the biggest predator in the forest.

    The Migthy Potato Awards…and also a bit about Venezuela and Vatniks
    Jan 3 2026

    Greetings, Comrades – the time for the Migthy Potato awards has come! So, join us for this (very unscripted) first episode of the year, where we give out The Migthy Potato to the worst and funniest nonsense that we’ve seen last year – and, ehh…as usual for when I want to relax a bit, weird things happen in the world.


    Also, I managed to accidentally slice my fingers open pretty badly during this stream so we had to cut this short.

    Here’s a link to the stream, as I was told that making this as an audio post would be a bit better.
