Edition 119: The Women of Iran - Not Black & White

First up, be greeted by Cat Bradfield, WLRN's World News Coordinator who announces a music show project she is heading to count down the top 100 songs chosen by WLRN listeners just in time to celebrate ten years of WLRN's stellar podcast hitting the Femisphere. Next, hear Cat deliver the world news with stories from the USA, Iran, Uganda, Australia and France. After the world news, enjoy an excerpt of the song Gole goldune man by Simin Ghanem, an Iranian artist. The song means "You are my flower who has gone" and was chosen by our guest this month, Fariba Amini. Next, stay tuned for an interview Lola did with Fariba, an Iranian-American journalist and freelance writer who discusses the strides and setbacks of the women of Iran and what American women can do to support them. Finally, hear commentary from Lola about the nuanced nature of women's progress in Iran and her anti-war stance. Thanks for tuning in to WLRN, feminist-powered community radio since 2016!
