Who am I?
An independent author and a co-creator of Ukraine Peace Talks show which brings together two Russian speaking persons with opposing views on the war in Ukraine. I have been studying wartime podcasts for more than 14 months now. That is the most important topic for my daily media consumption.
What is my podcast playlist about?
Recently I completed listening to a limited podcast series on how the war in Ukraine transformed the lives of Russians opposing the war, and the whole picture finally emerged. I am ready to share now what podcasts report on the Russian — Ukrainian war.
1. Ukrainecast
Why this podcast?
An obvious choice for me, as I am listening to quite a lot of BBC podcasts. A professional journalistic endeavour to cover all corners of Russia’s invasion since February 2022. They even interviewed me as, following in the footsteps of Adrian Mole, I wrote to the BBC to explain on my social experiment called Ukraine Peace Talks. The only issue I would take with this programme is that it is rarely published. Started as daily, it then switched to three times a week, and now it has only two episodes per week. Notable names: Victoria Derbyshire, Vitaly Shevchenko.

2. Ukraine: The Latest
Why this podcast?
The greatest of them all, because it arguably has the biggest audience and it is still published daily. A comprehensive one-hour or less review of what is happening on Ukraine’s front lines with military, humanitarian and diplomatic aspects all nicely covered. My issue with this programme is that it is somewhat skewed to the Ukrainian point of view, disregarding the Russian one, understandably so though. But I believe we can compensate through other podcasts. And sometimes they do have very strange guests out of nowhere without a context. Notable names: David Knowles, Dominic Nicholls, Francis Dearnley, Nataliya Vasilieva.

They even have their own correspondent in Ukraine on each episode, which is nice for a change. Notable names: Lori Lundin, Steve Karesh, Anna Chernikova.
