I Pulled a Reverse Aunt Jemima (Why I Changed the Name of My Podcast…Again)

با وجدان (transliterated to Ba Vojdaan) is a Persian word which translates to English as “Conscientious”.

This phrase was introduced to me by my Persian wife, who herself displays a great deal of “Vojdaan” in her life. She and I were discussing potential names for a podcast that would identify with me and my values, and we both said at the same time, “conscientious.” She then told me about this beautiful Persian word, and it stuck. She and I used this name for a joint podcast we did more or less for fun, but it’s very much apropos for our day and age, so I’ve repurposed it for this show.

I don’t know about you, but I’m alarmed by the lack of conviction and integrity in our culture. People are on “autopilot” morally and spiritually. Whatever the talking heads on the boob tube tell us to think, that’s what we think.

Sure, this has always been a problem since the dawn of time, but it just seems more pronounced in recent years.

And no one notices.

And those who do notice…they seem to either not care, or have given up trying to make a difference.

This podcast is one man’s response to this pandemic of moral laziness and apathy.

Carry yourself with “Vojdaan” and you’ll instantly set yourself apart from the zombies inhabiting our land.

This podcast will show you how to do it, and allow you to interact with others who think the same way.

So subscribe to the podcast and reclaim your sanity with daily interviews featuring folks who refuse to march in step with the rhythm of the world that is driving us into despair and chaos.

And if you’re able, would you be willing to leave a rating and review of the show while you’re here on the app?

It really helps to build credibility for the show!
