    In this powerful episode, Joe and Ethan have an honest and unflinching conversation with Iranian-American activist Zolal Habibi about Iran’s 120-year fight for freedom. Zolal takes us through the painful history: from the 1953 CIA-backed coup that overthrew Iran’s only democratic government, to the 1979 Revolution that was hijacked, the mass executions, forced hijab, and how foreign powers have repeatedly crushed Iran’s hopes for real democracy.

    From Dream Jobs to No Jobs: What the Hell Happened?

    Join hosts Joe Edgar and Ethan Krok in this unfiltered, straight-talking conversation unpacking the biggest economic and labor shifts of the decade.

This is the first episode of Season 2, kicking off with the decade’s biggest flip no one saw coming.
