The House of Pod

Episode 23 is live! We welcomed special guest @kavehmd.bsky.social for an extra special episode discussing the latest updates on the war in Iran. We also provide some insider tips on Iranian culture and answer listener questions.

The Present Illness is available wherever you get your podcasts!

I’m clearly not trying hard enough. Really aiming for that irritating big brother vibe.

Potentially some very controversial takes on the war and Persian culture/food here

thanks so much for having me!

Check out this podcast, The Gynarchy, which was kind enough to have me, the undisputed Bad Boy of Medical Podcasting, on.

I would have said no but it would have been nice if they at least asked.

One thing about getting older is you talk fiber with your friends. And sometimes you bring up @kavehmd.bsky.social. And sometimes they go "Oh yeah the Fiber Zaddy!".

This is exactly how I figured things would end up when I started medical school.

Thanks again for having me!

Forgot to mention that my pixelated face is due to a technical issue (I forgot to record my face cam).

And @kavehmd.bsky.social reveals top secret information about me. 🇮🇷

Gonna have another convo with the great @kavehmd.bsky.social on all things Iran tomorrow. What are you curious about? What would you like to hear more about from two diaspora Iranians?

Deserves to be repeated

Now let me be clear:

Damn I hate that this post my 3 year old did with my phone is doing better than 80% of my posts.

See below and listen to the podcast for a lively debate about the use of the word “great.”

I see the bar for “great” has dropped pretty low.

It’s important to keep talking about Iran.

Hmmm…sounds like a religious thing.

I believe it was Sartre who said, “Hell is other people on social media who can’t understand the importance of either nuance or lived experience.”

Look, if any under-qualified podcast host deserves the job, it’s clearly me.

This is a good question. I think they only usually get local for the procedure, but I’m sure they’re more likely to be prescribed pain medication for recovery.

I get, I mean, I go high.

The best part of having a podcast is that you no longer have to engage with every terrible person you encounter online.

You can take the high road

and record an episode about how dumb they are.
