Hey everyone, Sakui here.

And before things begin, I would just like to remind you all that with this month,

which is now January, and I'm not even sure if I remember to add all of this in at the

beginning of each episode as it comes out, Lord knows I probably haven't at this point.

But I'm making this blurp now to remind you all to please make sure to get this month's

chirp audio book. The book that we're talking about in this case is Iran, which, no, that, that, that, that's the name, is Iran, because it goes into the history of Iran.

I'm not sure if you could get it based off the name of what it is that I'm describing, but I think it's one of those things that we really don't in the Western world study enough of the history of certain places like Iran in order to understand why it is the way that it is today.

And this is a book that goes in in depth into the constitutional revolutions and everything that led Iran to become the modern state that it does.

And it's just filled with fascinating details that I think that all of you will appreciate

because it really opened up my eyes to a lot of the knowledge that a lot of us probably have

not heard of before.

So please get that book.
