I'm currently listening to 544 Days and I am really liking it.
For 544 days, Jason Rezaian was held hostage in Iran’s notorious Evin prison. Interrogated. Sealed off from the outside world. He was accused of being an American spy, though his formal title was Washington Post Tehran Correspondent. This is a story about government and family and journalism, and what it took to free an innocent man… all while navigating the high-stakes world of nuclear diplomacy.
I'm not a big politics fan and just barely remember when this happened, but Jason Rezaian is the one doing the podcast and he's fantastic at it. A friend told me to give it a shot and I'm glad I did. I'm definitely more of a crime podcast person.
This thread is helping me branch out a bit.
