On this week’s episode, Emilia and Michael discuss the ongoing protests in Iran, following the death of 22-year-old student Mahsa Amini at the hands of Iran’s “morality police”. Joined by Empoword Journalism’s Beau Roddis, and Iran expert Marzieh Kouhi-Esfahani, we ask what sparked the protests, why they have grown so large, and what the enduring legacy of the movement might be.
