This is Longlead.

Hi, Longshadow listeners. John Patrick Pullen here. I'm the founding editor of Longlead, which produces Longshadow.

Today, we're sharing a great episode of the Panic World podcast in our feed because we think you'll like it.

Panic World's Ryan Broderick knows a lot about the web,

but he doesn't quite know what to think about Russian interference in the 2016 election.

So, on a recent episode, he pulled in Longshadow's own Garrett Graff to re-examine the truth behind the

scandal. Panic World is a weekly chat show that explores how the internet warps our minds, our culture,

and eventually reality, which is pretty much the story of Longshadow breaking the internet,

only we do it in a long-form narrative format.

This is a great episode because Garg gets to dive even deeper into Rakhshar Gate and all things

in that universe. Thanks for listening to Longshadow.

We will return. And be sure to listen and subscribe to Panic World out weekly wherever you

get your podcasts. Once again, great to meet you. Thank you for coming on the show. I want to start

with a really simple question. I think, you know, is good for today's

episode to kick things off, which is, what's your favorite Russian meal? Oh, that is a great question.

I am a fan of sort of the Georgian-style Russian meals. Like, I think that, like, the Georgian... About ketchup-puri? Yeah. And I think that like the Georgian...

Like that the Georgian...

Yeah.

And I understand that there are some tensions between Mother Russia and the Republic of Georgia these days,

but if I'm eating Russian, would love me a Georgian restaurant.

I think that's actually a great way to start, which is the best thing about Russia

are the countries that broke away from Russia and are continuing to try to keep their independence
