On this edition of Roqe, the legendary artist Shahrokh Moshkin Ghalam returns to the Roqe Studio — in full colour, full force, and fresh off a packed performance of Aref Nameh in Toronto.
Jian speaks with Shahrokh about his bold new staging of the cheeky, satirical, and explicit poem by Iraj Mirza; how he transitioned from iconic dance work into text-driven theatre; and what the pandemic taught him after years away from the stage. The conversation explores poetry, provocation, exile, identity, and the reinvention of one of the most distinctive Iranian performers in the world.

Roqe Ep.379 - Did Trump Drop the Ball? - Ari Aramesh, Bijan Kian
Just weeks ago, the world watched as tensions between Israel and Iran surged and the Iranian people appeared to be approaching a pivotal moment. The conditions for an uprising were aligning.
Then came a ceasefire.
Then… Trump’s shift - signalling a willingness to work with the same Islamic Republic regime he once vowed to crush.
So: Did Trump blow a real opportunity for change?
Jian Ghomeshi hosts a passionate, high-level panel with legal analyst and political commentator Ari Aramesh, and former U.S. senior official Bijan Kian, to tackle the hard questions:
Did the Trump pivot deflate the movement for freedom in Iran?
Was there ever a plan to follow through?
What does this mean for Iranians both inside and outside the country?
Why does the regime seem untouched, emboldened even?
A raw and revealing discussion about power, pressure, and the moment that may have slipped away.
