Episode Synopsis

"Nomazgāt" (wash) is the Latvian word of the week now that washing your hands is more important than ever with the COVID-19 novel coronavirus making its first confirmed appearance in Latvia. Otto and Joe discuss the implications of this story along with the first major Rīga city council election polling results, a bungled attempt at international espionage, and what looks like closure to the Kristīne Misāne affair.
