Episode Synopsis "Episode 1: Nowruz"

A new podcast with Sohaila Zivari where ancient Persian myth and personal stories come to life. A podcast of spoken and unspoken words; an auditory invitation to taste, to smell, to feel, and to own a dream or two. A place to share myths of our own.  In our first episode, we explore the meaning of the Nowruz hafsin and our personal experiences with the Persian New Year in Iran and in diaspora. With special guests Shoreh Shooshani, Vida Nathan Ardebilchi, and Shayna Ross.
