Net@night: 106 Iran's Social Revolution

Guests

• Pre-recorded audio interview that TWiT President Dane Golden did this morning with Jason Rezaian, a dual Iranian-American citizen who just spent several weeks in Tehran (today in Dubai). He grew up mostly in Marin County, just south of Petaluma. Jason is a longtime blogger for the San Francisco Chronicle's "Inside Iran" blog. For several years, Jason has taken journalists on guided media tours of Iran through his business Iran Media Service. He's the director of a documentary on Iran called "A World Between," which begins with a scene of a baseball game in downtown Tehran. Jason's also a big Yelper. He's @jrezaian on Twitter.
