The House of Pod

In this emergency episode, Dr. Kaveh Hoda and Dr. Arghavan Salles discuss the massive US-Israel military operation in Iran and the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. They explore what this means for the Iranian people, the complex reactions from both inside Iran and the diaspora, and the uncertain path forward. From misinformation circulating online to the infrastructure of power that remains intact, they offer Iranian perspectives often missing from mainstream coverage—while acknowledging the diversity of opinions within their community. A timely conversation about hope, fear, and what comes next for a people who've lived under 47 years of oppression
