Don't know what a podcast is? Don't worry, just click on it and listen. That's it. Nothing scary about it.

The MEME this week is an article published by Chiti news, which is a site for Georgian satire news, about the Patriarchy and KaZantip. The site quips that members of the clergy announced that they will come to the festival equipped with scissors to cut the skirt of the Virgin Mary as a canopy over Anaklia, proclaiming that “We will not allow the festival of debauchery to be held under the hem of Virgin Mary!”

Wow, this podcast must have been so laborious for you, you were yawning and misreading all the new-stories that we all have read during the week. I guess it must be tough to find the real truth after years of being fed the garbage from your colleagues, the Bokeria family. By the way TI is not the hardest working NGO in the area, and everyone knows it
