Thanks for turning us on to Bald and Bankrupt. Great stuff. Oh, and keep up the great work.

I'm pleased to hear that! That Darien Gap series gets fascinating in the second of the three episodes. And his trips to far-flung Russia are many. He also went to an Uzbek exclave surrounded by Kyrgyzstan (that I'd never heard of).

Yes thanks , I had no idea he was MI 6 . But that explains d why he got the boot from Russia

MI6? He got the boot because he was being made example of for speaking against Putin when he was in Ukraine when Russia invaded. His explanation is that he felt obliged to speak like that but had come to see a different perspective. Where that truth lies, I do not know, but Bald was clearly a lover of Russia (so I consider Russia shooting itself in the marketing foot).

I only know of it as a joke that seemed to become reality on Reddit. I never rule anything out but I also don't bite without evidence.
