#034 “Vojdaan” Defined, Why Sana and James Don’t “Go Dutch” at Restaurants, and More with Special Guest Sana!

By James Newcomb | May 9, 2023 |

My lovely wife Sana sat in on today’s podcast recording to give insights on the meaning of the Persian word Vojdaan, the “V” in the C.R.A.V.E. acronym you see in this show’s title.

She also gave some insight on some of the nuances of Persian culture that all of us Americans would do well to heed IMHO!
