    • Society & Culture

A feature interview with Iranian-British explorer and documentarian, Reza Pakravan. Reza joins Jian from the UK to discuss his life as an adventurer, motivational speaker and writer who left a lucrative corporate job in London in his late-30s to explore the world and challenge himself. He has since become a two-time World Record holder for crossing the Sahara Desert by bicycle in 13 days, and “Fastest Bicycle Journey” from the Arctic Circle through the length of the planet to Cape Town, South Africa in 102 days. Reza now presents and produces popular TV adventure programs and docs on the world’s top networks such as BBC, Fox, Aljazeera, and a series on Amazon Prime. Plus, the Roqe Team convenes for another edition of “It’s All Persian To Us,” a lesson on the beauty of barberries from Chef Hoss with “Hoss-pitality,” and Jian tells the tale of fixing the broken TV in the Roqe lounge.
