Great show! Very informative about what's going on in Iran. I am not Iranian, but I am rooting for you guys!
Freedom to the Historic and Brave People of Iran!
The opening essay of podcast #364 about Nowruz is fantastic. It had me in tears while still making me smile. Jian, you’re truly talented—thank you!
The next president of United States is a felon “grabbing ### by hand“ and is given the chance of highest office in this universe TWICE. Q was branded by Jian and took away from him unfairly and unjustly.
Ppl need to chill and move on. Kudos Jian.
I Love everything about this podcast . I used to live in Toronto and listened to it all the time . I moved to California and I still listen to this podcast. I Love Jian’s natural talent and the way he interviews people. His voice is mesmerizing and never get tired of listening to him. Please never give up this podcast.
