520 - Talking About Russia and Ukraine with my buddy Mike Lang
Mike Lang taught me to enjoy beer and Rush when we were 16 years old in 1978. We\u2019ve been brothers-by-choice ever since. In addition to being one of the smartest people I know, Mike has direct family ties to Ukraine, speaks Russian fluently, and is deeply interested in the history of the region, so he seemed like a good person to chat with about what\u2019s going on there now.
