WANT TO HEAR FROM AN IRANIAN AND AN ISRAELI ON THE WAR? I've got the podcast for you! I recorded this last week on Passover with Khosro Istafani, an exiled Iranian journalist who still has family and friends in Iran, and Daniel, a veteran of the Israeli Defense Forces Special Forces who currently lives in Tel Aviv with his family. I let them talk to each other and ask questions including what needs to happen for the Iranian people to be able to rise up and take their nation back. The two cultures are deeply entwined and share more similarities than differences. It's a fascinating interview and you've got time to listen to it all because baseball is up at 12:30.
