We're joined by Joyce Karam for Episode 65 of The Beirut Banyan, and we discuss regional protests erupting in Iraq and Iran, and how their demands relate to Lebanese calls for upending the status quo and an end to rampant corruption.

Joyce is the Washington, DC correspondent for The National and an adjunct professor at George Washington University.
