Season 4 - Off-Cut: The Cathedral [Соборна площа]

Every so often we’re going to bring you something we’ve been calling off-cuts and footnotes. These are extended scenes and deep dives that didn’t make the final cut of the main episodes. This is also a place where we can talk about your questions and comments. So feel free to send your thoughts to htbdpodcast@gmail.com in a voice note or a quick message.

It was an enormous pleasure to receive field recordings from Boris. In this scene he surveys the cathedral in Soborna Square after it was damaged by Russian rockets. You'll hear more from him through out the season. To spend more time with the cathedral and questions of identity in Odes[s]a's city center, check out Odes[s]a: Origins [Витоки].
