This is why I give money to wnyc. A ten minute conversation with Christiane Amanpour about the elections makes me want to learn more and more about Iran and all of the Arab/Muslim world politics. She is brilliant.
And all this after a mouth-watering talk about hogs in the pits!
Bring it on - you all are the best!
