There's more to Iran and Persian culture than what you'll see on Fox News.
That's the main point of today's episode. My wife Sana shared with me a Facebook post that did a fairly deep dive - as deep as you can get with a Facebook post anyway - on some of the highlights of the Persian culture and history.
I asked Sana, who is Iranian, if she would record a podcast and share some of her experiences as an Iranian, and how she views the American culture from that lens.
As usual we stray from the path a bit with the conversation, but manage to stay true to our intent.
In this episode you'll hear about the progressive policies of Cyrus the Great, advancements in science, medicine, and mathematics, to the unique role of women in Persian society.
Once you've finished listening to this, you might second-guess your decisions to rely on mainstream news sources re: that part of the world!
