Czym jest Pekas of the Balkans i czemu opłaca się pojechać na północ Albanii? Czemu Góry Przeklęte są jednymi z ciekawszych w których byliśmy? I czy rejs po Jeziorze Koman faktycznie jest tak spektakularny? W tym odcinku podzielimy się z wami historiami ze szlaku długodystansowego Pekas of the Balkans, ale będzie również i o Tiranie - która może nie jest dla każdego, ale ma swój urok.Co łączy Dolomity i Góry Albanii? Okazuje się, że całkiem sporo. Góry Przeklęte są dość zbliżone właśnie do Dolomitów, jednak różnią się jednym: brakiem ludzi. Są to góry w których można chodzić bez przeszkód spotykając tylko garstkę innych hajkerów. Naszym zdaniem, jest to jedno z nielicznych miejsc w Europie, gdzie nadal można poczuć dzikość górską. Nie znajdziemy tu żadnych schronisk, szlak często jest nieoznakowany, a ludzie skupiają się na kilku najpopularniejszych miejscach by pozostawić większość gór samym sobie. W Albanii możemy rozbijać namiot bez problemów. Natomiast w Czarnogórze jest to zakazane. O czym rozmawialiśmy w tym odcinku?00:00Wstęp01:37Jak Kuba zniszczył merca rowerem06:56Góry Przeklęte to alternatywa dla Dolomitów08:44Czemu Tirana jest ciekawa wg Kasi09:13Plac Skanderbega w Tiranie - jak zmienia się stolica10:17Edi Rama - najlepszy burmistrz na świecie?10:58Dawniej zamknięta dzielnica, nieistniejąca na mapie - Blok12:32Trzy dobre muzea w Tiranie warte odwiedzenia15:59Problemy Tirany17:32Jak dostać się z Tirany do Valbony, w Góry Przeklęte?20:40 Z portu Komi do Valbony: rejs po jeziorze Koman24:21Valbona: albańskie Zakopane25:26Peaks of the Balkans: ciekawy szlak długodystansowy przez Albanię, Kosowo i Czarnogórę28:15Góry Przeklęte nie są dla każdego: z czym trzeba się liczyć wybierając się w nie31:59Plav: miasteczko pokazujące kocioł bałkański33:47Pekas of the Balkans: co jest fajnego w tym szlaku?35:25Via Dinarica - pieszy szlak przez całe Bałkany36:49Spanie w namiocie na szlaku Peaks of the Balkans37:58 Psy pasterskie w górach39:12Artykuł Kuby o Peaks of the Balkans we wrześniowym National Geographic TravelerPeaks of the Balkans - długodystansowy szlak - pętla po Górach PrzeklętychMa on około 190 km i powstał by z powrotem połączyć góry, które zostały szczelnie podzielone granicami. By turyści zaczęli napływać w rejon północny, który jeszcze kilkanaście lat temu nie cieszył się zbyt dobrą opinią. Dziś jest bezpiecznie, możemy po otrzymaniu permitu przekraczać bez problemów granicę między Albanią, Kosowem i Czarnogórą i cieszyć się pięknem górskiej wędrówki.Szlak jest tylko w części oznakowany, dlatego przyda się dobry GPS i doświadczenie w górskich wycieczkach. Dodatkowo w tych górach nie ma za dużo wody, dlatego należy starannie planować i wziąć jej dużo - nie ma tu Gopru i jesteśmy pozostawieni sami sobie.Dojazd z Tirany do ValbonyNajciekawszą drogą jest dojazd do portu Komani busem i rejs po jeziorze Komani. To piękna trasa, która zapada w pamięć. Z Fierze, dokąd dopływamy możemy wziąć taksówkę do Valbony, gdzie można zacząć trekking. Najbardziej popularnym odcinkiem szlaku, na którym znajdują się knajpki jest właśnie Valbona - Teth. W obu miejscowościach znajdziemy bez problemów nocleg, jednak nie należy on do najtańszych.Popularną dwu-trzydniową wycieczką jest wzięcie busika ze Szkodry do Komani, rejs i dojazd do Valbony, potem trekking do Theth i powrót busikiem do Szkodry. Jednak omija on spektakularne szlaki i góry, które są puste w porównaniu do popularnej trasy pełnej ludzi.Co jest ciekawego w Tiranie?Tirana nie jest miastem dla każdego. Nie jest typowo pocztówkową stolicą, jednak ma swoją atmosferę, którą Kasia ceni sobie wysoko. To miasto z ciężką przeszłością, którą możemy poznać dość dobrze odwiedzające trzy muze : BUNK’ART1, BUNK’ART2 oraz Muzeum Inwigilacji (Dom spadających liści).Dawna zamknięta dzielnica rządowa: Blok jest dziś sercem miasta, gdzie ludzie przesiadują w kawiarniach a wieczorami bawią się w klubach. Natomiast na Placu Skanderbega wieczorami można pogapić się na ludzi i pochillować bez żadnych problemów.O tym wspominaliśmy w podcaście:⭕️ książka Małgorzaty Rejmer “Błoto słodsze niż miód.

L'Albanie de Jérôme [caption id="attachment_74639" align="aligncenter" width="1024"] Ergest, Inès et Jérôme depuis la Maison de l'Albanie.[/caption]   Pour cette première émission de la saison 2018-2019, direction l'Albanie où Jérôme a séjourné durant l'été. Désireux de voyager de façon plus "écolo", il voulait rejoindre l'Albanie sans prendre l'avion. Avec son ami, il sont donc passés par l'Italie et la Grèce en empruntant trains et bateau mais aussi en faisant de l'autostop. Une fois en Grèce, ils ont longé la côte Adriatique en passant par Sarandë et Dhërmi. Puis, ils se sont rendus à Berat, ville inscrite au patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco, avant de redescendre vers le Sud-Est pour randonner vers Përmet. Après ça, ils ont fait du stop jusqu'à Korçë et ont séjourné quelques jours autour du lac d'Ohrid, à cheval entre l'Albanie et la Macédoine. A la fin, ils sont passés à Tirana, la capitale depuis 1920 seulement, et ont terminé par quelques jours dans les montagnes du Nord, vers Theth, dans la province de Shkodër. [caption id="attachment_74640" align="aligncenter" width="348"] Frontière Albanie-Monténégro dans les environs de Theth et Vusanje - Crédits photo : Jérôme Perrot[/caption] [caption id="attachment_74641" align="aligncenter" width="348"] Eglise Saint Jean de Kaneo à Orhid (côté Macédoine) - Crédits photo : Jérôme Perrot[/caption] Si Jérôme a été déçu par la Riviera albanaise très touristique et très urbanisée, en revanche, il a adoré les parties montagneuses des terres intérieures, beaucoup plus préservées. Au programme : des randonnées, des nuits de camping sauvage et des baignades dans les canyons. Il a aussi été agréablement surpris par Berat, une ville construite dans la pierre, ainsi que par Tirana où il a pu profiter d'un concert US un tantinet déjanté pour les Albanais. Jérôme voulait visiter l'Albanie car il était intrigué par ce pays, longtemps fermé au reste du monde (47 années de régime communiste sous Enver Hoxha), qui s'est soudainement ouvert dans les années 90. Aujourd'hui, de cette époque, il reste surtout...des bunkers !

Comme le veut la coutume, ils nous ont accueillis avec du raki, un alcool fort à base de raisin. Jérôme nous a d'ailleurs raconté une soirée albanaise où on l'a nourri exclusivement au raki.

Andy and Derek are glad to have as their guest Josh Bayer. He is one of the creative minds behind Fantagrahic's new retro-superhero series, All Time Comics. This line kicked off in March with its first issue, All Time Comics: Crime Destroyer #1, and in April they'll release All Time Comics: Bullwhip #1, soon to be followed by issues devoted to other characters in its universe, Atlas and Blind Justice. Josh talks with the Two Guys about the genesis of this project and his collaboration with his filmmaker brother, Samuel. He also shares his experiences in working with Herb Trimpe on the Crime Destroyer issue -- the last art by this comics legend -- and with Ben Marra, who provides the inks. The latter also provided the pencils on Bullwhip, along with Al Milgrom on inks. Over the course of their conversation, the guys discuss the strange retro feel of the series, one that is more of a heartfelt and sincere tribute and not a campy send up. Nonetheless, All Time Comics already has its share of wacky villains, including The Misogynist, Raingod, and the Time Vampire. Derek and Andy also talk with Josh about his recent efforts to support the ACLU and Planned Parenthood in light of recent political events, taking a cue from Sarah Glidden...and then going even further. Join in on the fun with these free coloring book pages, brought to you by Josh and the good folks at Fantagrahics!

WALKING ON THE SIDEWALK, HOTTER THAN A MATCH-HEAD They took his family…they took his kids… they took his shoes… and his dinner. And they punched his dog. And slapped his goldfish.

As has become an annual event, Andy and Derek use their penultimate show of the year to discuss the current volume of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt's The Best American Comics. The series is overseen by Bill Kartalopoulos -- whom the guys interviewed on the show last year -- and this year's collection is edited by novelist Jonathan Lethem. The entries collected in The Best American Comics 2015 represent what both Lethem and Kartalopoulos consider to be the most outstanding comics published between September 1, 2013, and August 31, 2014. The guys begin by highlighting the organization of this year's volume, pointing out that Lethem has retained the topic- or theme-based approach used by Scott McCloud in last year's collection. The editor breaks down his entries into ten different chapter topics, ranging from the self-evident "Storytellers" and "Biopics and Historical Fictions" to more obscurely intriguing groupings such as "Brainworms" and "Raging Her-Moans." The guys are familiar with most of the contributions included this year -- to paraphrase Andy, The Best American Comics volumes just seem to reinforce their tastes in comics-- and many of them have been the subject of previous Comics Alternative reviews and interviews. They comment on the sheer number of entries that are excerpts from longer works, including Roz Chast's Can't We Talk about Something More Pleasant?, Jules Feiffer's Kill My Mother, Farel Dalrymple's The Wrenchies, Gabrielle Bell's The Colombia Diaries, Sept 14-16, Cole Closser's Little Tommy Lost, Matthew Thurber Infomaniacs, Anya Ulinich's Lena Finkle's Magic Barrel, Jim Woodring's Fran, Anya Davidson's School Spirits, and Josh Bayer's Theth. Most of these selections easily stand on their own, but some could have benefited from more content or additional editorial context (examples being the excerpts from Anders Nilsen's Rage of Poseidon and Joe Sacco's The Great War.) Some of the highlights in this year's volume include works by creators that either Derek or Andy have never read before, such as Mat Brinkman and his darkly surreal Cretin Keep on Creep'n Creek, or Gina Wynbrandt and her hilariously self-deprecating Someone Please Have Sex with Me. This is another must-read book for the Two Guys, but their discussion isn't without its disagreements. In good Siskel and Ebert fashion, the guys spar over the nature of the Best American Comics volumes and, specifically, over the curious “Notable Comics” list in the very back of the book. (This is a list of other significant comics published between September 1, 2013, and August 31, 2014, but not making it into the volume proper.) Derek mentions the almost complete absence in this list of any titles reflecting mainstream (in a broad sense) sensibilities -- the one exception to this is Geoff Darrow's Shaolin Cowboy from Dark Horse Comics -- and scratches his head over these choices that come with no permission or copyright obstacles. And he argues that discussing a text by what it is not can actually give a firmer grasp of what it actually is. Andy, on the other hand, is completely OK with the totally subjective approach to anthologies such as this, and he questions Derek's assumptions of the book's readership. The guys also discuss the notion that, in many ways, these selections are also political choices, especially when published by a major trade house such as Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. But these are the kinds of debates that should sound familiar to Comics Alternative listeners, especially when it comes to matters of awards, essential readings, and “Best of” collections. The bottom line, though, is that both Andy and Derek agree that The Best American Comics 2015 is yet another important contribution to our ever-expanding understanding of the medium. “Best” or not, these comics are definitely well worth reading.

The Two Guys are back for yet another publisher spotlight, and this time they are looking at the 2015 releases from Retrofit Comics / Big Planet Comics. The episode begins with a brief interview with Box  Brown, the founder and editor of Retrofit Comics. He discusses the origins of Retrofit as a Kickstarter campaign, his education as a publisher, the ensuing partnership with Big Planet Comics, and the philosophy behind and publishing trajectory of their efforts. After that, the guys discuss the 2015 releases (so far) from Retrofit / Big Planet, beginning with Kate Leth's Ink for Beginners: A Comic Guide to Getting Tattooed. Andy points out that Leth's work is one of a growing number of informational or expository comics to be found out there, and that tattoo parlors around the country would do well to stock this small book. Next, the guys turn to Box Brown's An Entity Observes All Things, a collection of nine short stories, all with a sci-fi or futuristic themes of some sort. Some of their favorites include "Mundo Jelly," "Voyage of the Golden Retriever," "Memorexia," and the title story. Then they look at perhaps the most experimental, and the smallest, book of the lot, Niv Bavarsky's Piggy, a disparate series of stories and drawings in mini-comic form. The unconventional nature of Piggy is then contrasted to the more genre-based comics of the week, Laura Knetzger's Sea Urchin and Jack Teagle's The Unmentionables. The former is an autobiographical account of the author's inabilities concentrate and relate to others -- represented effectively by a sea urchin inside her brain -- as well as a speculation on her place in the world. The Unmentionables is a fun, action-packed story of a group of pro wrestlers who become crimefighters, and its origin-story feel promises more installments to come. Finally, the Two Guys turn to what may be the two most ambitious narratives of the week...or so Derek feels. Olivier Schrauwen's Mowgli's Mirror is a wordless, almost treasury-sized comic about a young man in a jungle -- no overt links to Kipling's stories -- searching for companionship and finding unexpected encounters. As the title suggests, there are parts of the narrative that are symmetrical in nature, but in this aspect the book doesn't hold a candle to the final book discussed in this publisher spotlight, Matt Madden's Drawn Onward. As we have come to expect from Madden -- see, for example, 99 Ways to Tell a Story and A Fine Mess -- this book is an experiment in form, where the second half of the narrative mirrors the first half...or vice versa. Depending on how you read it, it's a story of either connectedness or alienation. Either way, it's a self-reflexive tale where the narrator uses her art to make sense, and perhaps even transform the meaning, of experiences that unsettle her. In wrapping up the episode, Andy and Derek also talk briefly about some of the other books that Retrofit / Big Planet have been putting out over the last couple of years. (Box Brown and Jared Smith, the head honchos of the two respective presses, sent the guys a large package containing their back catalog.) Among the earlier titles they mention are James Kochalka's Fungus: The Unbearable Rot of Being, Sam Alden's Wicket Chicken Queen, Anne Emond's Debbie's Inferno, Josh Bayer's Theth, and issues #1 and #2 of Box Brown's Numbers. If you didn't know anything about Retrofit Comics / Big Planet Comics before, then there is no excuse not to be turned on to their stuff after this episode. Go get it!
