For our episode on Iran, we welcome two guests -- Masoud and Mehraneh, who share their perspective. We discuss the lesser-covered facets of Iran, such as high enrollment rates for women, ethnic diversity, and the Persian language and its "relatives" in the region. Listen to find out what elective procedure is more popular in Iran per capita than anywhere in the world. Finally, we feature epicurean Persian poetry with Omar Khayyam's Rubaiyat (Quatrains).
