Episode description
A story of silenced cries! Farahnaz Forotan, an Afghan presenter and journalist known as one of the most important Afghan women, has been on the Taliban's blacklist (hit list) for years, and for years now, in exile, she has had to fight with all her strength — with her only weapon, her pen — for the freedom of Afghanistan's women and men. In this episode of Baziya, hear the story of a woman who, through every outer and inner struggle, carries her homeland's suppressed stories to the world, and speaks of an injustice the whole world has turned away from.

Baziya - Babak Jahanbakhsh
Audio podcast
We talked about love with Jahanbakhsh, known as the “Sultan of Emotion”. About the days when life got so hard we said: it can't get worse than this... but it did. Even much worse than we imagined. About the days we thought we couldn't go on, and then, once we had come through them, said to ourselves: we never thought we were this resilient... This is just one piece of our long, fascinating conversation with Babak Jahanbakhsh. Watch the full conversation, as always, on Monday on Baziya's YouTube channel.
Baziya - Pouria Bakhtiari
Audio podcast
Is Iran's economy on the verge of collapse?! In episode twenty of Baziya we talked with Pouria Bakhtiari, writer, economic expert and maker of the Ecotopia podcast. For years Pouria has tried to take economics out of numbers and charts and explain in plain language how it affects our daily lives. This time, in a casual conversation, we talked about Iran's economy: from decisions that, as Pouria puts it, should have been explained to a president with an animation, to inflation that governments themselves started and the path that can lead to hyperinflation — and on to Dubai's self-made people!!! Watch the full conversation between Ali Ziya and Pouria Bakhtiari on Baziya's YouTube channel and listen in podcast apps. Vitabiotics, always on the people's side.
Baziya - Kia Davoud Esfandiari

In these feverish days for the dollar, we gave this episode of Baziya to a conversation with economic expert Kia Esfandiari, and we chatted about a lot! From how the government created inflation and may be profiting from it, to how fewer cats on the street might tell us inflation has risen, to what is going to happen to Iran and how he sees the uncertain future!
