Roqe 194 - Feature interviews with award-winning cartoonist, blogger and journalist, Nikahang Kowsar, and teenage athletic phenom, Mahta Gharaei. Nik Kowsar joins Jian from Washington DC to discuss his journey to becoming a prominent Iranian cartoonist who would earn the ire of the clergy, and his current focus on addressing the water scarcity crisis in Iran. But first, Iranian-Canadian rising star, Mahta Gharaei, is in the Roqe Studio for a conversation about her impressive dual life as a young karate and pageant champion. Plus, Jian and Shaya revel in the relative calm with the absence of other Roqe on-air Team members this week.
