A very special episode produced by three students at Whitman College as part of Arash Davari's Middle East Politics course. This episode explores both the overwhelmingly negative portrayal of Iranians in American pop culture/news media and how to undo it by engaging Iranians both as individuals and a national culture.

Thank you to Arash Davari and Whitman's Politics Department for their support of this experimental project. If you are an educator and want to try teaching your students about podcasting, please feel free to get in touch.

This episode of The East Is A Podcast is brought to you by students from Levi Thompson's University of Colorado Boulder course Representing Islam. In it, they cover the operations of the Franklin Book Program, an American book-publishing and translation initiative that operated in the Middle East from 1953 to 1979. Levi and his students examine the program as an instance of American soft power within the context of Cold War cultural imperialism and give listeners a number of bibliographical notes for further investigation.
