Thanks for making a podcast about the history of Iran. In many education systems, this topic was only looked at very peripherally as part of ancient and classical greek studies (as Persia). I feel that today, by many outside Iran it is a country misunderstood. The world needs to look more closely at the Iran of today and it’s history to dismantle popular misconceptions and get a better idea of what’s really there.

If only it continued

You know you have quality when the product's only fault is that there isn't more.
