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.

Please consider supporting the show
