I started writing an episode about Iran earlier than that. I sort of scrapped it and came back to it in December and started something else. But then the terrible earthquake in Turkey and Syria happened just a few days ago. And I didn't want to put off talking about Iran any longer. So I decided I just decided to talk about both situations in this one single episode. This will probably end up being really long, right? If you're watching on YouTube, you will see some chapter markers to help you navigate the episode. Consider helping out by donating to charities.
