Hi there, I'm Lalei Arikoglu, and this podcast is brought to you by Wilderness, a conservation-driven

hospitality company that offers intimate wildlife encounters in extraordinary remote landscapes.

Last year, I embarked on two separate solo adventures with Wilderness, one to Botswana and the other

to Namibia, where the expert guides delivered a truly once-in-a-lifetime

experience. I promise you, whatever you watch and see before you go won't prepare you for the thrill

of a wilderness adventure. eBay, it's a place to fall in love with new pre-loved vintage and rare

fashion over and over again.

Your favorite designers, expertly authenticated.

Yeah, eBay.

Things people love.

we can, in fact, secure our goal.

Dexter Filkins and Humon Magd are here to talk about what happened and possible developments

when they resume talks next week. Humon is a contributor who writes about a round for the

magazine and for our website. Welcome, Humuman. Thank you very much, Dorothy.

Dexter, let's start with you. It's hard to imagine such talks having happened with Akhmedinajad.
