July 19, 2009 – Havaye Tazeh on KUSF 90.3 FM
So on today’s show we managed to interview one of the people involved in the collection of signatures for the very long petition that is being gathered around the world to eventually be hung from a tall monument. She also gave us some information about the upcoming global rally organized by United 4 Iran in more than 50 cities around the world. Our guest’s name was Afsaneh and she told us that the petition had gotten so long that they could no longer hang it from the Eiffel Tower (the Eiffel tower is 324 meters high) so currently it is not clear where this petition will hung from. Looks like plan B is to hang it from Toronto’s CN tower which is 553 meters. Plan C is to place the scroll on the ground near the Eiffel Tower, between the human rights building and the Wall for Peace on the Champs de Mars. One of the last cities to join this big rally is Ouagadoudou in Burkina Faso (Africa) which is just amazing.
Once again this rally is on July 25th and in San Francisco it’ll be held in front of the Civic Center from 12 to 4 pm. We will attend and will make sure to post updates and photos as soon as we can. For more information about the event please visit the website of United4iran.
On today’s show we also talked about Hashemi Rafsanjani’s speech at the Friday prayer in Tehran.
The music you heard on today’s show was from two different groups/composers. We played two tracks from the Iranian band (one of the only rock bands in Tehran) called Barad and we also played several tracks from the soundtrack Istgaheh Matrouk (Deserted Station) by Peyman Yazdanian from his CD Second Take which only includes soundtracks. Both CDs are great and they are both produced by Hermes Records.

July 12, 2009 – Update on Today’s show
Hello, so today we started the show with news from Iran. After the news we heard a brief report from Stern Grove in San Francisco where there was a concert with Joan Baez together with the Iranian Global Solidarity Movement.This was a free Concert. Many Iranians were distributing fliers about the upcoming rally in San Francisco organized by United 4 Iran on July 25th, 2009. It’s a global rally called Global Day of Action for Iran and there are many cities around the world that will participate. Supervisor Mirkarimi will be speaking at this rally and I believe the rally will be from 12 to 4 pm.
H
ere are some of the pictures from the concert and flier distribution at Stern Grove today:
We also talked to one of the oragnizers of the world’s largest signature petition. They are hoping to hang it from a large well known monument, apparently the Eiffel Tower.
Another sad piece of news was the death of Mehdi Azar Yazdi, the well known children’s author of the “Good stories for good children” (Ghessehayeh khoub barayeh bachehayeh khoub). He died last Thursday at the age of 87 from an infection in his lungs. We aired one of his stories.
In the final part of the show today we aired the interview with Majid Tavallaei a prominent political activist and journalist and talked about 18 Tir. Majid Tavallei was giving a conference today at UC Berkeley at 5 pm. This was organized by Berkeley Lecture series. “Berkeley Lecture Series, managed by a number of active Iranian-Americans of the East Bay, set its mission “to facilitate dialogue on issues of interest to the Iranian-American community in the Bay Area.” Any inquiry may be sent to berkeleylectures@yahoo.com
The music on today’s show was by Peter Soleimanipour from a CD called Egosystem (manzoumeyeh Chakhsi) out on Hermes Records.
