Podcast: Interview with an American Jew in Iran

June 12th, 2008Esra'a (Bahrain)

A few days ago I interviewed Tori Egherman for our latest podcast, which is now published on our podcasting site. You may listen to it here.

Tori was an active author at Mideast Youth for a long time and you may read her previous posts here (under a pseudonym.)

    Dear Esra’a :)
    For the third time I failed to download the podcast. Perhaps I need to try that where they have a better connection, but I guess it is not because of the connection, because I managed to download your other two podcasts, the skpe ones from the same place. Filtering? That could be the case, but I need to ask some other Iranians from within the country if they have the same problem. There are some websites which are filtered if you try to view from Tehran, but from the Island you can view the websites no problem. Anyway thank you for the interview. I will manage to listen to the podcast anyway :)

    Dear Elinor, that is very weird. For me it seems to be working fine. I wonder if there is something that we should do to make sure that it works for everyone, especially for those with slow connections.

    If there are any audio experts out there, please let us know what we can do to solve such issues. I believe this is not the first time you told me that it wasn’t working :(

    I hope you really will manage to listen to it, I think it may be your style. Soon you should be featured in a podcast too. Show off your Arabic skills!

    :) To know more if it is only my problem or soem others would have it too i will have to try the university site. I will definitely let you know when I double check the problem. I will show the Arabic skills sure :) It would be a pleasure to furthur the skills because it is very effective when you talk to a person in his/her own language. They understand that we value their language, and then their culture, their being, that is the spirit we need in our Middle East, people reassuring one another the mutual respect exists. Amen :)
