About this listen

 Khosh amadid, hello and welcome to Persian Curious! My name is Jacob. I am of Canadian background and deeply interested in Persian culture. In each episode, I get to converse with a Persian person from around the world, and we dig into the culture, music, arts, foods, traditions, and customs. At some point the guest will introduce me, and our dear listener, to a common Persian phrase that says something unique about the culture. We hope you enjoy these conversations as much as we enjoy having them! ( # Farsi # Iran # Iranian # Persian ) Connect at PersianCurious@gmail.comPersian Curious ~ Podcast Social Sciences
