In the 12th episode of the "Once a Stranger" podcast, Alec's guest is Amin Aliabadi.  The two discuss his childhood growing up as a first generation Iranian-American in Jersey City, how he first learned about Harlem and what the neighborhood means to him, his journey as an amateur director and filmmaker, how his cultural and religious background set the foundation for his musical curiosity, our shared critique of men and masculinity, and much more.
