Women, Life, Freedom: An Iranian Revolution

On September 16th, 2022, a young woman named Mahsa Amini was pronounced dead in a hospital in Tehran, Iran. Her crime? Wearing her hijab incorrectly. She was beaten by the "morality police" and ultimately died from her injuries. Since her death, the Iranian people have been in a fierce battle with the oppressive government that currently runs the country.

Luckily, we have Iranian expert, Behnam Ben Taleblu, to break down how Mahsa's death became the tipping point for the long simmering anger of the Iranian people. He is the Senior Fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and provides important insights on the situation in Iran, discussing the past, present, and future.

Hi! And welcome to my podcast! My name is Emily Gross and I started Beerocracy! to unite my passions of politics and comedy. I love the news and politics, but I got so tired with the stuffy dialogue that plagues the news cycle. So I decided to try something different and create something that I would want to listen to! I interview a leading expert on a current issue in the news cycle, we drink a beer, and hopefully educate you with a little bit of humor!
