How did Iran become one of the world's great cinematic cultures? In this special pre-taped edition of Roqe, Jian revisits a fascinating conversation with Dr. Kaveh Askari about the remarkable growth of cinema in Iran during the Pahlavi era - and the complicated relationship between Hollywood, Persian culture and the emerging Iranian film industry. Askari, a film scholar and author of Relaying Cinema in Midcentury Iran: Material Cultures in Transit, takes us back to the Iran of the 1950s, 60s and 70s to explore how foreign films circulated through the country, why Hollywood initially considered Iran an almost invisible market, and how Iranian filmmakers adapted and borrowed from Western movies while developing a distinctly local cinema culture. The conversation explores pirated films and soundtracks, Iran's innovations in dubbing, the growing appetite for Hollywood movies, and the emergence of filmmakers like Masoud Kimiai and Dariush Mehrjui and the Iranian New Wave. It is a fascinating look at a less-explored chapter of Iranian cultural history - and the foundations of a cinematic tradition that would eventually become celebrated around the world. Featured Guest: Dr. Kaveh Askari - film scholar and author of Relaying Cinema in Midcentury Iran: Material Cultures in Transit This interview was originally recorded in March 2023. Roqe returns with its new season on Thursday, September 10th. This episode is brought to you with the support of: Quasar Homes - @quasarhomes Follow Jian on Instagram: @JianGhomeshi

Friday Juma KhutbaFriday July 31st, 2026Arba'in is only days away, and the Ahlul Bayt (a) placed extraordinary emphasis on the ziyarah of Imam Husayn (a) throughout the year, especially on Arba'in.Imam Hasan al-Askari (a) described five defining signs of a true Shi'a, highlighting both worship and religious identity.The first sign, praying 51 rak'ahs daily, encourages believers to go beyond obligatory acts and embrace recommended worship.Even with modern lifestyles, believers should gradually build habits such as nawafil, shorter recommended prayers, and Salat al-Layl.Wearing a ring on the right hand reflects the Sunnah of the Prophet (s) and serves as a visible expression of Islamic identity.Historical evidence shows some Sunni jurists reversed the Prophet's practice after it became associated with the Shi'a, raising the question of who truly preserved the Sunnah.Reciting the Basmalah aloud is another sign of following the practice of the Prophet (s) and the teachings of the Ahlul Bayt (a).Imam Ali's (a) commitment to reciting the Basmalah aloud was even acknowledged by prominent Sunni scholars as a source of guidance.Two of the five signs are directly connected to Imam Husayn (a): prostrating on natural earth and performing the Arba'in ziyarah.Sajdah on earth reflects the practice of the Prophet (s), and the Imams later recommended using the turbah of Karbala because of its unique spiritual significance.Imam al-Sadiq (a) taught that prostrating on the turbah of Imam Husayn (a) carries immense spiritual merit.Imam Hasan al-Askari (a) emphasized Arba'in ziyarah as the community approached the Occultation, ensuring Imam Husayn (a) remained central to Shi'a identity.Despite attempts by rulers like Mutawakkil and later Saddam Hussein to erase Karbala and stop pilgrims, their efforts ultimately failed.The more tyrants tried to suppress the pilgrimage to Karbala, the stronger and larger it became.The millions who walk from Najaf to Karbala each year demonstrate that the message of Imam Husayn (a) continues to outlive every oppressor.Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)
After an unforgettable conversation filled with reality TV secrets, fashion, family, and laughter, we close out our four-part series with Valley Persian Style star, Sky Askari in one of our favorite traditions—The Armenian Coffee Reading. As Pol' studies the coffee grounds, the conversation quickly shifts from fun to deeply emotional. Without any prior knowledge of some of Sky's most personal experiences, the reading uncovers powerful themes surrounding her future, family, career, love, and the next chapter of her life. What begins as curiosity soon turns into genuine shock as prediction after prediction leaves Sky asking, "How could you possibly know that?" Throughout the reading, we explore the importance of trusting your instincts, letting go of the past, embracing new opportunities, and recognizing the people who are meant to help guide you forward. Some of the messages are inspiring, others are incredibly emotional, and a few are so unexpectedly accurate that the entire room is left speechless. Sky opens up about deeply personal moments from her life, shares stories she's rarely discussed publicly, and reflects on the people and experiences that have shaped who she is today. The conversation becomes a beautiful reminder that sometimes our greatest breakthroughs come when we're willing to trust the journey—even when we don't know where it's leading. As the reading continues, surprising symbols hidden inside the coffee cup spark conversations about family, healing, faith, destiny, and finding peace with life's biggest challenges. Pol also offers Sky heartfelt guidance that moves far beyond the coffee cup itself, encouraging her to embrace opportunities, reconnect with loved ones, and step confidently into the future she has been working toward. Filled with laughter, heartfelt moments, unexpected revelations, and a few tears, this is one of our most moving Armenian Coffee Readings to date—and one that neither we nor Sky will ever forget. Grab your favorite cup of coffee, settle in, and join us for a truly unforgettable finale as Sky Askari gets completely UNDRESSED.

Welcome back to UNDRESSED: THE HAUTE SEAT with Sky Askari, where couture meets chaos and absolutely nothing is off limits.. We put Sky directly in the fashion haute seat as we dive into celebrity style, diamonds, reality TV drama, and some very strong opinions that are guaranteed to get people talking. We kick things off with our signature segment, Runway Rundown, where we break down the good, the bad, the ugly, and the “what were you wearing and why?” Before the fashion critiques begin, we remind everyone to grab an Armenian coffee reading, pick up our book Anna Nicole Smith: Portrait of an Icon, and take home a SnowBubu because, according to Sky, she can't wait to get one herself. Our first fashion victim—or fashion icon, depending on who you ask—is none other than Zendaya and Tom Holland. While Pol admires Zendaya's edgy leather look, Sky and Patrik immediately zero in on what they think is missing: better proportions, more jewelry, and a softer silhouette. The three of us hilariously debate leather skirts, body chains, motorcycle vibes, and whether even one of Hollywood's biggest stars can pull off a look that feels slightly unfinished. Next, we turn our attention to The Valley star Jasmine Goode's wedding. We gush over Jasmine's romantic lace gown while questioning whether her wife Melissa's bridal style matched the occasion. What follows is a surprisingly passionate conversation about same-sex weddings, bridal fashion, and the importance of finding a style that reflects both personalities. Then the tables turn as Sky becomes the subject of her own fashion critique. We dissect one of her Dolce & Gabbana lace looks from a lupus charity event, debating skirt lengths, scalloped hems, metallic lace, and the eternal struggle between sexy and sophisticated. Sky takes the criticism like a pro while Pol offers couture-level tailoring advice and reassures her that her current leather-and-jewelry ensemble is absolutely on point. The fashion talk quickly transforms into a jewelry masterclass when Sky reveals details about her custom pieces and offers to design a one-of-a-kind ring for Pol's neglected index finger. Between discussions about coin collections, wedding bands, and statement jewelry, the conversation takes a hilarious detour as we joke about flying first class, surviving long flights, and who really gets the better seat. Then it's time for Haute Topics, and things get even juicier. We tackle one of the most controversial luxury debates of the year: lab-grown diamonds versus natural diamonds. Sky doesn't hesitate, declaring her love for the real thing while admitting that changing trends have pushed her to explore lab-created collections for her own jewelry line. The conversation takes an unexpected turn when she hints at tension involving another cast member entering the jewelry world, insisting that nobody can compete with what she has spent nearly a decade building. Sky opens up about her deep connection to her jewelry designs, explaining that every piece reflects her own personality and vision. We discuss competition, authenticity, and why true luxury is about far more than trends. Finally, we approach one of the biggest headlines in the world—growing tensions involving Iran and the United States. While Sky respectfully declines to dive into politics, the conversation reveals just how personal and emotional these issues can be for the Persian community. From Zendaya and Tom Holland to The Valley, Dolce & Gabbana, diamonds, wedding gowns, and reality-TV rivalries, Part 3 proves that fashion is never just fashion—it's personal, emotional, and occasionally downright messy. And just when you think we've covered it all, we're about to head into the Armenian coffee reading.

Welcome back to UNDRESSED: THE INTERVIEW as we continue our unforgettable conversation with Valley Persian Style star Sky Askari. In Part 2, we go far beyond the headlines and dive into marriage, reality television, family, fame, and the unexpected challenges that come with opening your life to millions of viewers. From separate bedrooms and Cartier proposals to cast feuds and behind-the-scenes drama, Sky holds nothing back. We kick things off by addressing one of the biggest topics from Valley Persian Style: Sky and her husband's unconventional sleeping arrangement. Sky reveals that years of her husband's increasingly unbearable snoring led her to retreat to her own bedroom, joking that she prefers to think of herself as royalty with separate chambers. Of course, we compare notes on our own marriage, laughing about arguments, guest rooms, fireplaces, and why Patrik can never seem to escape Pol—even when he tries. The conversation quickly turns romantic as we revisit one of the most important moments of our lives: Pol's unforgettable proposal to Patrik. What began as plans for a private-jet engagement to Hawaii turned into something even more extravagant when production couldn't secure the permits in time. Refusing to stage a fake television moment, Pol made a phone call that resulted in one of Beverly Hills' most iconic streets shutting down. We relive the incredible story of closing Rodeo Drive, gathering dozens of friends at Cartier, and orchestrating a surprise proposal complete with diamonds, luxury shopping, Louis Vuitton bags, and SnowWhite90210 in attendance. As we walk through the emotional details, we share the hilariously unfiltered hot-mic moment when Patrik, stunned by the size of the ring, leaned down and asked Pol if he had sold one of the houses to pay for it. Beyond the glamour and extravagance, the conversation becomes a touching reflection on love, commitment, and the once-in-a-lifetime moments that define a relationship. From there, Sky opens up about how she found herself cast on Valley Persian Style. Contrary to what many viewers assumed, she reveals that she barely knew most of the cast members before filming and was introduced to the production team through her friendship with Tanin. Sky explains that while she had briefly crossed paths with Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi years earlier, she had no real friendships with Shahs of Sunset veterans like Mercedes “MJ” Javid, Reza Farahan, Tommy Feight, or Adam Neely before stepping into the spotlight. As first-time reality stars ourselves, we ask Sky what it was like to suddenly expose her private life to cameras. She admits that despite being an open person, she has always fiercely protected her family, her children, and her inner circle. Sky shares that appearing on television forced her to confront emotions and insecurities she had spent years avoiding, ultimately teaching her lessons she hopes to pass on to her children. The conversation becomes even more candid as we discuss the darker side of reality television. Sky reflects on the toxicity of season one and admits that what began as entertainment eventually became deeply personal. She reveals that she struggled with how quickly friendships unraveled, how cast members continued discussing her on podcasts and in interviews, and how painful it was to feel targeted by people she once trusted. Despite everything, Sky insists that she has no regrets because the experience forced her to grow and better understand herself. We also explore the unique pressures of ensemble reality television and whether drama is organic or strategically amplified for the cameras. Sky explains that while she believes emotions are real, conflicts often become magnified once filming begins. She opens up about the tension between authenticity and performance and admits that there were moments she refused to recreate scenes because the emotions behind them were simply too raw. As parents and public figures, we dive into the importance of protecting children from fame and preserving some sense of normalcy. Sky explains why she intentionally limits her children's involvement on the show and how carefully she navigates balancing public life with private life. Of course, no conversation would be complete without addressing one of the season's most controversial moments: the infamous dog-oil incident. Sky finally tells her side of the story, insisting that rubbing skincare oil onto her beloved dogs was never intended as an insult but as a compliment to the product itself. She reveals that producers left out crucial details from the scene, including her questions about preservatives, ingredients, and shelf life—questions she believes would have completely changed viewers' perception of the situation. Sky also reveals that many of her favorite moments never made the final cut, including a visit to Warner Bros. with producer Ali Afshar to discuss incorporating pieces from her jewelry collection into future film projects. Moments like those, she says, better reflect who she truly is beyond the drama audiences see on television. As our conversation comes to a close, Sky looks ahead to season two with a completely different perspective. While she admits that she initially considered walking away, she ultimately chose to return stronger, wiser, and more confident. This time, she says, she is no longer interested in over-explaining herself or proving anything to anyone. Instead, she plans to stand her ground, represent her family and culture proudly, and let her actions speak for themselves. From separate bedrooms and spectacular proposals to reality-TV betrayals, family values, luxury lifestyles, and Hollywood politics, Part 2 of our conversation with Sky Askari proves that there is always far more happening behind the scenes than viewers ever imagine.

In this hilarious and heartfelt first installment of our conversation with Bravo TV's Persian Valley star, Sky Askari, we immediately discover that we may have found our long-lost twin. Born in Iran, raised between Germany and Switzerland, and now building a luxury jewelry empire in Los Angeles, Sky joins us to talk about everything from family, fashion, and immigration to love, marriage, and what it really takes to reinvent yourself in America. We kick things off by bonding over our shared European connections, our love of luxury, and our surprising ties to the Kardashian family. Pol' reminisces about designing Robert Kardashian's Wife's (not Kris Jenner) final wedding gown while Sky opens up about her own extraordinary journey from Iran to Germany and eventually to Los Angeles, where she studied art and fashion before launching her bridal business and later creating Sky Askari Fine Jewelry. As Sky shares stories about growing up Persian, we dive into cultural traditions, private schools, family expectations, and the differences between life in Iran, Germany, and America. She reveals that despite common assumptions, she arrived in the United States with a green card already in hand and built her life here through determination, hard work, and a refusal to be limited by labels. Things get especially entertaining when Sky admits that before becoming a successful jewelry designer and Bravo star, she worked at the legendary Shamshiri restaurant in Westwood, where she met her future husband, Bomshad. What begins as a casual story about waitressing quickly turns into one of the funniest and longest proposal stories we've ever heard. Sky reveals that after years of insisting she never wanted to get married, Bomshad proposed on Valentine's Day wearing colorful socks and boxers, nervously pacing around their home with a Tiffany box in hand. But instead of a dazzling diamond ring, Sky found a simple gold band—because, according to him, she was “too picky” to trust with choosing her own engagement ring. Along the way, we compare engagement stories, including our own unforgettable televised proposal, and discover that Sky's fiercely independent spirit mirrors our own philosophy on relationships: love should always be a choice, never an obligation. We also get unexpectedly deep as Sky reflects on her parents' divorce, their enduring friendship, and the lessons she learned about commitment, freedom, and building a life on her own terms. The conversation turns emotional as she discusses family members still living in Iran and why today's political climate makes returning home difficult. From Persian culture and restaurant chaos to luxury jewelry and unconventional romance, Part 1 is packed with laughter, honesty, and the realization that maybe Capricorns really do run the world.

For review:1. A missile strike on a house in Baghdad on Tuesday killed two people, with initial reports suggesting they are “Iranian advisers” to Tehran-backed groups, a security official tells AFP.2. Rockets and at least five drones were launched at the US embassy in Baghdad early Tuesday from areas around the city, Iraqi security sources say, describing the attack as the most intense since the start of the US-Israel war with Iran.3. Amid the latest Iranian missile attack on Israel, the military announces that it has launched “extensive” strikes against targets in both Tehran and Beirut.In the Iranian capital, the IDF says it's striking “infrastructure of the terror regime,” while in Beirut it's attacking Hezbollah targets.4. US President Donald Trump's administration is urging US diplomats abroad to push allies to designate Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Lebanon-based Hezbollah as terrorist groups, according to an internal State Department cable seen by Reuters.5. US efforts to open Strait of Hormuz:Both The Wall Street Journal and Axios reported that President Trump was planning to announce the formation of such a multinational coalition as early as this week. Axios added, citing unnamed US officials, that President Trump was also mulling the option of seizing Iran's key oil depot on Kharg Island -- if Tehran continues to deny oil tankers passage through the strait, a move that would require American boots on the ground.US Energy Secretary Chris Wright told NBC earlier Sunday that he has been “in dialogue” with some of the countries Trump had mentioned previously, and said he expected China “will be a constructive partner” in reopening the strait.“It is in our interest to keep the Strait of Hormuz open, and that's why we are also discussing what we can do in this regard from the European side,” Kaja Kallas, the EU's foreign policy chief, said Monday ahead of a meeting of the 27-nation bloc's foreign ministers in Brussels.6. Iran's military apparatus is “in distress” and incapable of launching many missiles at Israel, while members of the country's security forces stay inside for fear of Israeli and US warplanes, according to an assessment reportedly delivered by the IDF intelligence chief to political leaders.7. Iraq's powerful armed group Kataeb Hezbollah said Monday that its senior security commander, Abu Ali al-Askari, had been killed, without providing details on the circumstances of his death.8.

Peyman Askari joins us for a great chat about Canada and getting into and out of politics.... We get into the voting demographics in Canada, immigration, regulations, coming from Iran, the rule of law, protesting, PPC, Trumps Security Strategy, urbanization, and the lack of domestic arrests and what is happening with the Epstein files. In the second half we chat about pensions and families, traditional migration, differences between the USA and Canada, the upcoming conflicts, leaky Canada, UNDRIP - and the UN destabilizing Canada, private property, common law, the problems with BC, BC politics, and yes even through all this you can change your life. I have come here to kick progressive ass and chew bubble gum. And I'm all out of bubble gum. Peyman was born in Iran and came to Canada when he was six. He has always considered himself fortunate to be living in a Western country until covid when he started to notice an erosion of the rule of law. Since then, Peyman has run for federal office, and now hosts his own podcasts where he is trying to educate Canadians on the core issues facing this nation.

Send us a textIn November 1914, the British attempted to capture the strategically vital port of Tanga in German East Africa. Poor planning, an indecisive commander, poorly trained troops and the fanatical idealism of brilliantly trained Askari troops combined to turn the operation into a disaster for the British.In this episode, we look at Germany's colonial history in East Africa, the skill and excellence of the remarkable German General Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck, and meet an enigmatic British intelligence officer who may, or may not, have been one of the world's leading ornithologists. We hear about the appalling conditions faced by the troops and discover Mother Nature's brutal side, which earned the Battle of Tanga its nickname, The Battle of the Bees.Support the podcast:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/footstepsbloghttps:/www.patreon.com/footstepspod

Why Bundling Insurance Sales Can Transform Your Business and Help Your ClientsOn the latest episode of Insurance Business Babes, hosts Kathe Kline and Joanna Wyckoff sat down with Kari Harvey from Physicians Mutual to shed light on one of the most effective – yet often overlooked – strategies in the insurance industry: bundling sales. Whether you're a seasoned agent or just getting started, this episode was jam-packed with actionable tips to boost your income and deliver more comprehensive value to your clients.What Is Bundling and Why Should Agents Care?Bundling, as Kari explained, involves offering clients a package of multiple insurance products during one sales appointment rather than trying to cross-sell them at a later date. For Kari and many successful agents, a typical bundle for Medicare-aged clients might include a Medigap plan, dental coverage, cancer protection, and final expense insurance. The key is to mimic what people are used to from employer benefits – then fill in the gaps they may face in retirement.Offering the bundle right at the start of the appointment, rather than as an afterthought, is crucial. “If you're not talking about it in the first five minutes, you're not going to sell it in the last five,” Kari emphasized. When you lead with a needs analysis and ask clients what coverage matters most to them as they transition, you're not selling – you're helping.Tactical Tips for Streamlining the AppointmentKari's approach is all about efficiency and confidence. She recommends segmenting your presentation into 5-7 minute blocks: start with understanding needs, move into education, then present the package as a seamless “set it and forget it” solution. Rather than overwhelming clients with line-item visuals of every product and price, Kari bundles the offer and describes in clear language how all their important concerns will be covered for one monthly premium.Cross-Selling to Existing Clients: Maintaining & Growing Your BookThe episode also explored how to continue serving existing clients through annual reviews. Even if the initial sale wasn't bundled, Kari and the hosts discussed ways to revisit needs by introducing new products (“I have a new product I'd love to show you…”) or sharing real-life examples of how certain coverage, like a cancer policy, has helped other clients.The Big TakeawayBundling is about solving the whole client's needs in a way that increases retention, cross-sale opportunities, and overall satisfaction. As Kari put it, “You are the only person who can protect your book… you have to be the solution to all their insurance needs.” For agents looking to make a bigger impact and income, bringing up additional coverages early and confidently is a must.Hungry for more strategies and real-world insurance success stories?
