Edgelands
Edgelands was a project for The Telegraph newspaper, telling the story of my journey along Russia’s European border. The main output was 6 x 30-minute podcasts, each accompanied by a video and online article, as well as print articles in the paper.
The Edgelands route.
THE JOURNEY
In total my New Iron Curtain journey covered 8500km, along Russia’s European border, and through the countries along it.
I started in Arctic Norway, at the border town of Kirkenes, travelled into Finland, Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Kaliningrad, Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, Transnistria and Moldova.
You can visit the Edglands website here, with separate pages for each episode, with articles, photos and videos. This is the Apple Podcasts link. I have also included all of the videos and podcasts on this page, so you can listen to them through this website.
