Life in the Middle East has historically been a struggle between powers for a chance at survival. A chance that led to many totalitarian regimes spring up in the region, and give the visage of Middle East as the land of "endless conflicts". When one is born here, one is told that conflict and restriction are normal; but they're anything but. With the murder of Mahsa Amini by the Morality Police in Tehran in September of 2022, that notion has come under scrutiny in Iran. Life is not normal here. One isn't living a normal life under oppression.

P.S. Uploading this episode was a long and exhausting ordeal because of the many internet restrictions. It's impossible to know what will happen, but if these restrictions continue and get worse it might be impossible to access the internet while inside Iran. If that happens please be our voice. Don't forget about us here.
