This week, we\\u2019re getting out of the British Isles and heading east. Milo Edwards is a British comedian who moved to Moscow and, slightly unexpectedly, found himself a Russian TV star (though one who is only, in his words, \\u201cGeordie Shore-level famous\\u201d).

Milo tells me about life as a westerner in the Russian capital: why rich people won\\u2019t take the metro, why you might as well smoke in nightclubs, and why you should always watch out for icicles. Also, about the day he moved an oil painting and discovered the way to Russian Narnia.

There won\\u2019t be a podcast next week I\\u2019m afraid as I\\u2019m going on holiday. If you have any tips about cool things to do in Valencia, though, please do drop me a line.

Skylines is the podcast from the New Statesman\\u2019s cities site, CityMetric. It\\u2019s hosted by Jonn Elledge.
