About this listen

Episode 1: “The Empire’s Shadow” explores how Iran’s ancient past continues to shape its modern identity and political tensions. Beginning amid the ruins of Persepolis, the episode traces Iran’s legacy from the Achaemenid Empire under Cyrus the Great through centuries of conquest, cultural survival, and renewal. It examines how Zoroastrian ideas, poetry, language, and art preserved Persian identity under foreign rule, and how modern pressures—from imperial interference to rapid modernization under the Pahlavi dynasty—reignited debates over independence and power. The episode reveals how pride, resentment, and unfinished questions of identity planted the earliest seeds of revolution.
