Tackling tricky questions on occasionally taboo topics, all with the aim of comically clueing you up on Iranian culture. We also host Iran's number one English-language podcast, based in Iran. #FreeAskAnIranian
Iranians prefer their men cut — they think it’s a good idea, but… they aren’t too sure about having it done with their sons. Listen to us discuss circumcision in Iran.
Iranians feel differently about paternal uncles and maternal uncles, while honourary uncles feel all sorts of things. Why?! Iranian aunts, however… Shhh!
In Iran, we won’t refer to a boy as a “special child” of a family — we’ll say he’s the “golden willy”. The reference can result in the creation of mummy’s boys. Listen to Shanay help us unpeel this tricky topic.
Iranians can be kinda racist — but the good kind! They will hold certain peoples in high esteem. With the help of “khaarejis” we discuss why this happens and with who it happens.
