Uzbekistan Travel Podcast with Timur Rashidov

About Uzbekistan Travel Podcast with Timur Rashidov

This show follows one person's attempt to know Uzbekistan properly, settling in a place, learning it, then moving somewhere connected to it. Travelling here means crossing flat desert, broad irrigated valleys and the Fergana Valley in the east, all inside one of only two doubly landlocked states in the world. The host's range takes in Tashkent, Samarkand, Nukus and the Kyzylkum Desert, with repeated detours along the Amu Darya and Syr Darya. He returns to people and places between episodes, asking what has changed since his last visit and what has stayed stubbornly the same. Over the seasons, the show returns to places Timur has already visited, so a valley is caught in cotton harvest, winter fog and spring planting. Knowledge accumulates slowly: which roads flood, where irrigated fields meet desert, how speech shifts from Uzbek to Russian to Tajik in different towns. Timur Rashidov lives in Uzbekistan and stays for two years, moving between cities, coastlines and smaller towns on a route that follows the seasons. Not a week-long visit — Timur is there in every kind of weather, working out where to eat on an ordinary Tuesday, which train to take, what a festival actually feels like from the pavement. A new episode arrives every day. Each one is short and specific: one neighbourhood, one journey, one meal, one museum worth the detour — with the practical detail that matters. What it costs. When it closes. Whether the queue is worth it. What to do when it rains. Every episode carries a full transcript and chapter markers. ☕ Enjoying the show?
