First podcast on Audible!

This is my first time listening to a podcast on Audible, and I thought it was fantastic. I was looking for information on traveling to and living in Tbilisi that went a bit deeper than the Lonely Planet take. My family and I have been expats and keen travelers for the last 17 years, and I found Georgia fascinating from what we could learn. We are planning out first trip next summer, but also considering what it might be like to live there for a period of time. I haven't found any source of information as useful as Meg and Tom's podcast after reading the guidebooks and searching online. I have listened to the firdt 4 in one go, and plan to listen to all the rest.
