For many people, Iran is a country they know only through headlines. But behind the news is a nation with thousands of years of history, a rich culture, and millions of ordinary people living everyday lives.
In this first episode of Iran Unveiled, we introduce Iran by exploring its geography, history, people, culture, and why the country's image in international media is often incomplete. We also discuss why we started this podcast and what listeners can expect from future episodes.
Whether you're completely new to learning about Iran or looking for a broader perspective beyond politics, this episode provides the context needed for the conversations that follow.
