A Day in Georgia: Tbilisi, the City That Sits Between Two Worlds

You wake up in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia — the country, not the American state — a city of sulfur baths, Soviet echoes, and 8,000-year-old wine. We spend a whole day here: morning in a maze-like old town, a commute on minibuses that run on spatial memory, lunch with seventeen small plates, work in one of the most wired cities in the Caucasus, and an evening that ends with a toast you're not quite sure you understood. Plus five things about Georgia that will quietly rearrange what you thought you knew.

Episode Guide

You wake up in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia — the country, not the American state — a city of sulfur baths, Soviet echoes, and 8,000-year-old wine. We spend a whole day here: morning in a maze-like old town, a commute on minibuses that operate on spatial memory and mutual trust, lunch with a meal that takes two hours and involves seventeen small dishes, work in one of the most wired cities in the Caucasus, and an evening that starts with natural wine and ends with a toast you're not quite sure you understood. Plus five things about Georgia that will quietly rearrange some of what you thought you knew.
This episode is narrated solo in an immersive, unhurried style — like being in the room with someone who just came back from somewhere remarkable.
