Disclaimer: At Tbilisi Podcast, we stand with the people of Georgia in their fight for their voices to be heard and for an end to the violence against citizens who speak out against the government. We support the ongoing efforts for change and recognise the bravery of those fighting for a better future.

However, it's important to acknowledge that the protests are concentrated in specific areas of major cities, and many people across the country still rely on tourism dollars, especially during the winter months. That’s why, despite the challenging situation, we’ve decided to continue releasing our latest podcast episodes, highlighting the incredible beauty and warmth of Georgia – a country that remains a vibrant, welcoming destination.

Tourism is crucial for many Georgians to support their families and communities, and without it, they face even greater hardship in their struggle for change. We urge you to support small Georgian businesses where you can, and enjoy the show as we continue to share the rich culture and resilience of this wonderful country.
