The More Things Change - Stormont, Iran, Things You May Have Missed and comedian Jenan Younis on what The West keeps getting wrong about the Middle East

The podcast returns for the new year/decade/yet more time we have to endure. What does this new year bring? War, fire, Brexit and of course the worrying issue of some rich people wanting to do other things. Stressful times. Northern Ireland, Iran, Brexit, some things you may have missed and Tiernan (@TiernanDouieb) talks to comedian Jenan Younis (@Jenan_Younis) about why the situation in Iran is actually more about Iraq, and what the West and in particular the left, keep getting wrong about the Middle East.CHECK OUT JENAN'S WEBSITE HERE: https://www.jenanyounis.com/LISTEN TO JENAN'S BBC SOUNDS SPECIAL HERE: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p07xc507GET TICKETS TO JENAN'S SHOW AT THE VAULTS FESTIVAL HERE: https://vaultfestival.com/whats-on/jenanistan-work-in-progress/GET THE LAST SKEPTIK'S NEW ALBUM HERE: https://backl.ink/SYITNLSIGN UP TO NEXT UP COMEDY AT: www.nextupcomedy.com/tiernanisgreatSign up to Tiernan's comedy mailing list here: https://www.tiernandouieb.co.uk/contact/SUBSCRIBE & LISTEN TO TIERNAN HOST THE NESTA FUTURE CURIOUS PODCAST HERE: https://www.nesta.org.uk/feature/future-curious/HOW DOES THIS POLITICS THING WORK THEN?
