When we talk about Iran — and the Middle East more broadly — the conversation is often loud, urgent, and strangely flat at the same time.
Headlines move fast. Context disappears. And the people most affected are usually reduced to symbols. This podcast slows things down.
Each episode starts with something you might recognize from the news — a protest, a slogan, a moment that seems familiar — and then asks what sits underneath it. Historically, culturally, politically. This podcast isn’t funded, sponsored, or affiliated with any political organization. We’re not here to represent anyone or speak on behalf of entire communities. What you’ll hear are explanations, reflections, and perspectives — clearly separated from fact, and always open to challenge.
