2024 highlights & 2025 plans

A Russian & Soviet Movie Podcast with Ally Pitts

Host Ally Pitts looks back at some highlights of 2024 and looks ahead to 2025.
Note from Ally: Unfortunately, the audio for this episode is not up to the usual standard due to a mistake on my part. On balance I thought it was better to release it now as is rather than defer a week until I'd have time to re-record. Thanks for understanding, and please excuse the sound being a little rougher than I'd like on this occasion.
