Summary
***Note: Navid's internet has been very unreliable for weeks now, so when I managed to get hold of him with a stable VPN, we decided to hurriedly record. In haste, both of us managed to mangle our respective recordings. I have been forced to resort to--please forgive me, cruel podcast gods---AI audio enhancer tools to see if it could be improved, which it mostly did but there are some funny spots on my side.*** Navid Zarrinal, host of the Colony Archive , and one of the oldest friends of The East is a Podcast, described what he witnessed during the last few weeks in Tehran.
