"Apsaimniekošana" (management) is the word of the week as Minister of Environmental Protection and Regional Development Juris Pūce reveals plans for potential early Rīga City Council elections in February due to the city's lack of a satisfactory waste management plan. Otto joins Joe from Rīga for a jam-packed episode where they discuss this among many other important domestic, international, and historical stories from the week.
