Sometimes TikTok superstar V Spehar needs more than a minute to bring you the news.

And that future elections could be controlled by fewer and fewer people? In this episode, V’s talking everything voting — past, present, and future. Then, V is joined by Negin Farsad, comedian and host of the podcast Fake the Nation. With lineage and firsthand experience in Iran, Negin shares what it’s really like under an authoritarian government and offers ways we can help those fighting against it.
