PLEASE FIX!!!

Audio for "Shadows in the Desert" still isn't correct.

It's the audio for "Extreme Takeover."

I've also tried to listen to this and I'm getting the wrong content. Please fix.

I'm also trying to download this segment but I keep getting the Cerberus interview.

Like Eric, I tried to listen to your archive but found only Chrysler. Please correct. Thank you.

this is EXTREMELY frustrating! I'm trying to listen to Shadows in the Desert and all I get is Extreme Take over the Cerverus story. Where is Dr. Farrokh's interview?
Am I making a download error or has this segment been mislabled?

Regards,
Eric

Hi Eric, we're working on fixing this. Thanks for writing.

Actually, Amy, it is the other way around. Peria comes from Farsi, or more acurately, Pers or Pars--as in Persepolis--originally the name of the other nation that united with the Mede and founded the Persian empire. It remains now--the name Pars or Fars, that is--as the name of a province in Iran, the center of which, Shiraz, was adopted by a winemaker in Australia to signify a grape purportedly imported from the eponymous city.
Mana;

Thank you for this segment, I found it truly gratifying. I plan to buy and read Dr. Farrokh's book. Recently, due to my own fascination with ancient and modern history alike, and my interest in the complexities of the Middle East, I have become increasingly fascinated with Persian history and the Persian Empire. As a amateur historian, I never cease to be astounded at what socities and government's repress, play down, or completely obsfucate their own histories and others' histories. And I continue to find these instances truly fascinating.

Is the name "Farsi" related to "Persia"--and if it is, does that mean the language spoken by Iranians has a Greek name?

Leonard,

HBO's Rome can't deal with it as HBO stupidly cancelled the great series (and I consequently cancelled my subscription)

an aside:
atually, it was no "coincidence" that Christian festivals and holy days are celebrated on Pagan holy days and holidays... it was part and parcel of the "conversion" process authorized by the Church.

I'm an author of a children's book set in Ancient Persia "Jamshid and the lost Mountain of Light"(www.jamshid.gb.com).

I would loveto hear Dr Farrokh's thoughts on the role of women in Ancient Persia, and also why there is comparatively little contemporary Persian writing to balance the Greek propaganda - maybe the storage medium of the day (unfired clay) just isn't preserved?
