Transmitting live from San Francisco- this is the official podcast of PARS-FM. Join us to speak with today's emerging and acclaimed Iranian artists, sampling their work, providing sneak peaks, and speaking candidly about their process. Through open dialogue, humor, and music, we aim to help people better understand one another through art, as well as provide unfamiliar perspective into immigrant experiences otherwise unseen in the majority of today’s newsfeeds.
Stay tuned for our most ambitious program to-date: bringing together Kabul Dreams, Afghanistan’s first rock band, with their idols Metallica for a clandestine jam sesh.
