Wouldn’t it be great to be sent on assignment to Iran and put together a multi-part audio journal of your experience? I hope Vermont Public Radio picked up all the bills on this one. I listened to the first part of this five-part series. There were some very nice scenes from arriving at the Iran airport and coming face to face with a swarm of humanity on exiting the terminal to hearing his brother call out the Iranian pronunciation of his name when he came to pick him up. For those who like audio travel-logs, this is a very competent production. It covered a lot of territory. Almost to quickly for me. I wanted more substance than such a treatment provided. The production was nicely voiced and presented and the audio quality was exceptional.
Summary: Even with family ties to this country and preparation, a reporter finds Tehran to be a foreign and intimidating place upon arrival. (First of five parts.)
