Excited to have season 2 of Country of Dust coming out! Especially after winning best podcast at The Future of Media Awards. Our debut episode was decades in the making - we even made a video (https://t.co/0jmi2CimmA). Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and CountryOfDust(dot)com
What’s happening in Armenia right now is huge, and we didn’t want to wait until our next season to tell you about it, so we’re bringing you a very raw interview with
Gayane Milonyan, a mother of two, who has just been forced to flee her home in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh). (1/3)

“In Nagorno-Karabakh, we live through the brief pauses in between wars.”
I wrote this first person essay before the Azerbaijani attack of September 19.

Ara Aslanyan designed what became the symbol of Armenia’s 2018 revolution - the "dukhov" hat. But he says he never cared about the movement, that he only wanted to make a successful design. How did someone so apolitical end up creating the emblem of a revolution? (1/2)
Our new episode follows Ashot Gabrielyan as he teaches in Artsakh/Nagorno-Karabakh. It’s about living in a place where, as he says: “We don’t talk the future”. Now, as the humanitarian crisis intensifies there, we wanted to tell this story and help explain what life is like there
We spoke to Ashot several times over the past year, and each time we did, things in Artsakh had shifted. Listen to how he has navigated those shifts, from post-war uncertainty to life under blockade. Follow the link in our bio or search "Country of Dust" on any podcast platform.
The podcast on Armenia that I’ve been working on is out! Personal stories of people living through the 2018 revolution, the 2020 war, and everything after.

From Artsakh to Lori, factories to village homes to wine bars… we’ve covered a lot of ground and had some incredible conversations that we’re excited to share with you! Season 1 of Country of Dust is coming in early 2023. Here’s a sneak (visual) peek.
Came across this poem in Against Forgetting, an anthology of twentieth-century poetry of witness, edited by @carolynforche . It resonated so deeply that we named our podcast after it. Stay tuned for our intro episode, which features a reading of the poem 🤍
.@KatmaiNPS is hosting its annual competition to find the thickest, most corpulent, all-around-fattest brown bear in the park.
Its a glorious celebration, and highlights the bears most prepared for surviving the long, cold winter.
