Journalist Jason Rezaian tells the story of his shock imprisonment in a new podcast. Plus: Storytime with Seth Rogen, and The Cut considers the changing face of sex on TV
544 Days
Jason Rezaian is an intensely engaging and buoyant host; so much so that it's often easy to forget that you're listening to a podcast about how he ended up in an Iranian prison for a year and a half. As a journalist for the Washington Post, Rezaian was staggered to find himself accused of espionage over his plan to bring avocados (yes, really) into the country. Rezaian, his wife Yegi and others deftly unpack this terrifying tale.
