About this listen

One country faces a tug-of-war between Putin’s Russia and the European Union. Host Victor Swezey takes listeners into the tear gas-filled streets of Tbilisi, Georgia, polling stations during a rigged election, and the manicured gardens of a billionaire oligarch. This is The Land in Between — a five-part podcast about a critical moment in Georgia’s history and what it tells us about the future of our world order.
