Roqe Ep#271 - Homa Sarshar, Maral Mohammadi, Roqe Roundup

A dynamic new edition of Roqe including a feature interview with legendary Iranian-American journalist, Homa Sarshar. Ms Sarshar joins Jian from Los Angeles for an in-depth conversation covering her latest lifetime achievement award (presented at Stanford University last week), her thoughts on the future of the Iranian community around the world, and how media and journalists should deal with the prevarications of the Islamic Republic representatives (a subject that leads to some disagreement with Jian). Plus, broadcaster, producer and musician, Maral Mohammadi is live in the Roqe Studio for the Roundup chat ranging from her first experience in Canada to joining “Threads” to the actions of the Iranian government. And Pegah recaps some of the latest news from inside and outside Iran, while Jian tries to explain 90’s grunge music metaphors with limited success.
