In this episode, I speak with Maz Jobrani, an Iranian-American comedian and actor. We talk about how he got his start in comedy, his getting typecast as a terrorist early in his career, and how he has tried to battle stereotypes all along. We also touch on dealing with loss, the Iranian-American experience, as well as politics in Iran and the US.
