Episode 85
Monday, 6 April, 2026
For Episode 85 of STARK REALITY, Host James Dier aka DJ $mall ¢hange rolls out the tattered red carpet to the Great White North aka Canada, and talks to special guest SINA RAHMANI. Sina is the creator and host of The East is a Podcast, a show that focuses a critical lens on the history of the present of the modern Middle East and North Africa, featuring interviews with experts and archival mashups. his twitter: @urorientalist Sina completed his Ph.D. in Comparative Literature at UCLA. He is a translator, scholar, and writer. His work has been published in the PMLA, Iranian Studies, boundary 2, Radical History Review, and Public Books. He does this podcast in his spare time, of which he has plenty. He has never gone fishing. Needless to say, his podcast is really dope and a great source of info on West Asia and what is going on in this terrible world in general, from an anti imperialist perspective. Well worth doing a deep dive, he has a lot of excellent guests and his rants are always on point. He also helps produce a number of other quality leftist podcasts, Red Nation with Nick Estes, Office Hours with Adam Hussian (of Rev Left Radio), and many others. In our discussion we talk about Iran, ofc, the concept of Kayfabe, how Americans are the most propagandized ppl on the planet, media, social media platforms in the West, how podcasting has changed in the 8 years he's been doing his podcast, and more. Sina is the man and was very appreciative of his time and perspective. Go check his interviews and guests at www.eastpodcast.com - you will definitely learn something. Recorded March 31st, 2026.
