Hello, Breaking History listeners. So I got some big news for the feed in 2026. We've decided to

switch things up a little bit. In several weeks, you'll be getting details here on Breaking

History for a new mini series. We're going to be doing these instead of episodes every two weeks.

These are like mini seasons, and they'll go in a much deeper way into a big, juicy topic over multiple episodes.

And I can't wait to tell you guys about the first topic we've already started working on.

It's a really good one.

Stay tuned for the trailer.

In the meantime, never fret, because you'll be hearing from me on this feed more often than you might think.

And I will be posting my various takes on the news based on what I'm in writing for the free press.

You'll get some interviews for myself and our great producer, Poppy Damon.

And for now, we want to replay an episode that we did over the summer about the history of Iran and its quest for democracy.

We felt it was appropriate to share this because I think what you'll find is that we really see how

there is this tension in Iranian history between a desire for accountability from their leaders,

but also the pull of a land that has been ruled by kings for millennia.

So stay tuned for a replay of the making of modern Iran

and keep your ears glued, as it were, to this feed for great episodes

and our new approach to breaking

history.

New Year, new groove, new you, new brew.
