  • Roqe Ep. 463 - David Shekamoo, Roqe Roundup

    Roqe Ep. 463 - David Shekamoo, Roqe Roundup
    Oct 1 2026
    On this edition of Roqe, Jian is joined by David Marino, better known as David Shekamoo - the American chef, foodie and content creator who has built a huge following by diving headfirst into Persian food and culture. Joining from Dubai, David tells the unlikely and very funny story of how an American guy married into an Iranian family and gradually became, well...very Persian. From his first encounters with Iranian food to ghormeh sabzi, tahdig, kabab, taarof and Iranian hospitality, David explains how "Shekamoo" became an online identity, why his videos connected so strongly with Iranians, and how his mission has grown into connecting East and West through food, language and culture. Plus, Pegah Ganji joins Jian for another edition of the Roqe Roundup, with some of the issues, debates and stories making waves in the Iranian space. And Jian opens with a pointed essay about the United Nations, its treatment of representatives of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and what he argues is a troubling double standard: "THE U.N. IS A CLOWN SHOW."

  • Roqe Ep. 464 - Ben Marco, Daniel Spaulding

    Roqe Ep. 464 - Ben Marco, Daniel Spaulding
    Oct 8 2026
    Two distinct conversations on this edition of Roqe, beginning with Jian's opening essay, "WHEN THE NURSES LEAVE," which examines the growing crisis facing Iran's nurses and teachers, and the consequences of the Islamic Republic's repression and mismanagement. Next, in Persian, Jian welcomes Iranian adventurer and social media star Ben Marco to the Roqe Studio to discuss his coast-to-coast journey across Canada. Ben recounts the highlights, unexpected encounters and personal discoveries of his latest adventure, reflecting on freedom, travel and life on the road. Then, in English, Canadian comedian Daniel Spaulding joins Jian for a candid conversation about his unlikely emergence as an outspoken advocate for a free Iran. An openly gay comedian who has challenged the politics of progressive and LGBTQ communities, Daniel discusses his opposition to the Islamic Republic, his support for Reza Pahlavi, and the personal and professional price of political conviction.

  • ROQE Ep. 465 — Dr. Nader Engheta: The Scientist Who Computes With Light

    ROQE Ep. 465 — Dr. Nader Engheta: The Scientist Who Computes With Light
    Oct 16 2026
    What if computers could calculate using light instead of electricity? And how close are we to making objects invisible? On this edition of Roqe, Jian Ghomeshi welcomes Dr. Nader Engheta, one of the world's leading scientific innovators and a distinguished professor at the University of Pennsylvania. Born in Iran, Dr. Engheta has pioneered groundbreaking research in metamaterials, nanophotonics, and optical computing, opening up extraordinary new possibilities for science, technology, and artificial intelligence. From a childhood fascination with a transistor radio to receiving some of the world's most prestigious scientific honours, Dr. Engheta shares his remarkable journey, the power of imagination, and the discoveries that continue to push the boundaries of what's possible. The conversation comes ahead of his recognition at the Iranian-American Pioneers Summit, taking place October 23–24 in Silicon Valley. More information at www.iapsummit.org. Plus, Pegah Ganji joins Jian for another edition of the Roqe Roundup, and Jian opens with “We Are Not Just a Tragedy,” a provocative essay challenging the tendency to define Iranians solely through repression and suffering, and asking whether the Islamic Republic has become the main character in too many Iranian stories.
