Hi Venetia, I was listening to your podcast while driving through the streets of Tehran. I’m curious—are you required to maintain neutrality in your reporting? It seems evident that you’re taking sides with Islamist groups. I couldn’t help but wonder how your privileged, left-leaning guest might have felt if she had experienced the events of October 7th firsthand.
