In their latest episode, these “proud zionists” self-victimize amidst news of the continued ethnic cleansing and targeted murder of thousands of Palestinians. Shameless and ignorant.
Thank god Natalie you are safe. I’m so sorry you had experienced a terrorist attack, it is unfathomable, atrocious, words cannot even describe my feelings. I’m so happy that you are safe
Lots of aimless banter.
Love you guys and hearing from fellow
persian-americans but really wish you all would bring a more diverse group of persians besides for jewish-persians on to your show.
These girls are hilarious and keeping it real.
Love listening to this podcast! Natalie and Millie are hilarious!!
These two girls are not afraid to talk about anything and the truth behind it. Coming from a non-Persian background I’ve learned a lot about the culture. Natalie and Millie have a great dynamic and keep it engaging with the listener throughout

I’m a dedicated listener and Millie and Natalie are my friends now, hope they know. I have proudly contributed to PGP and am really glad there is an outlet for Persian girls to express themselves without judgment. Keep up with the content girls! Looking forward to their future in podcasting and excited to see it shine bright like their personalities!
These girls are so honest, funny and have the guts to be true to themselves and to the real world of Persians. I love how unapologetic they are about what they think and feel. which is rare. every Persian person should get over themselves and appreciate this podcast. So grateful they exist. Plus their Merchandise is genius.
I wrote a bad review a few months ago, but since then I’ve come to love this podcast much more and regretted that comment. Keep up what you’re doing 💕
Amazing podcast that provides great entertainment while really providing perspective I never thought about before.
So funny and relatable! About life in Tehran, dating, relationships with such a positive and chill vibe.
The most recent podcast was filled with wrong information about Iran. I understand you guys are pro Shahanshai era but that doesn’t mean that because Iran is an Islamic country that Iranians are living like the Stone Age.
You also mentioned that you haven’t been back to Iran in a long time, so is it wise for you guys to talk about the current people’s lives when you really don’t know what’s going on?
I do appreciate that you brought in Nilo, but maybe your next guest should be someone who vis... more
