Fake the Nation
V Interesting is a series form our friends at friends at Lemonada Media that we think you’ll love. Be sure to check out this special episode featuring our own Negin Farsad. Sometimes TikTok superstar V Spehar needs more than a minute to bring you the news. The Under the Desk News anchor is bringing their sharp outfits and sharper commentary to a weekly show with Lemonada Media. Big Issues that matter most, but don’t have a simple, Tweetable solution. Part explainer, part thought-starter show, V’s goal is to make you the most well-informed and “v interesting” person in any crowd. Did you know polling places used to have alcohol onsite? 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.
