Russia's More Than That
Radiotopia
I'm Smith Freeman, co-host of the She's In Russia podcast along with my best friend Olivia Capozzalo who lives in St. Petersburg. We talk about Russian politics, history, and culture, try to make Russia more real for non-Russians and sometimes try to talk about things Russians are talking about. This playlist collects episodes about Russia that counteract stereotype, sensationalism, and the rising anti-Russian rhetoric in mainstream liberal American media.
Glenn Greenwald on the New Cold War
Masha Gessen explains how “Russiagate” is both an excuse for Dems’ election failure and a security blanket.

From Russia With CHUD feat. Sarah Jones
Oh the boys of leftist fame. My favorite part of this episode is when they sum up pretty much all Russian stereotypes in about 30 seconds.

Russia Variety Show!
We’re the peanut gallery, listening to clips from Hillary and Lavrov’s “Reset” moment to CIA videos for Reagan to hypocritical UN speeches.

Episode 01: Zapad Shmapad and Facebook Spy Games
Brand spankin’ new. I like the guest’s phrasing that America is competing nicely in the Paranoia Olympics. Plus a good rundown of the news.

Cara’s production and narration reigns supreme. In this sad, but important story of the Moscow bombings of 1999 Cara brings us full circle.

Lies, Big Lies and InterFax
Kristaps delivers an emotional (I do not mean that pejoratively) and diligent case study of Russian propaganda in former Soviet states.

Mark Ames
I think my favorite part about this episode is Ames coining the term “Cold War Car” as in it’s easy to rev up the old Cold War rhetoric car. Beep beep.
