In today's episode, I am joined by BBC cameraman Stu McKenzie who was based in Moscow and has worked extensively in the north and south poles.
We talk about life for British journalists in Russia and how to survive and film successfully in the extreme cold.
This was a fascinating interview packed with helpful tips and advice.
