Mike you like the attention that people were giving you when you were on the show

[@marciblack7112]

Great one Rachel! This interview with Mike really highlights the stress “Reality” shows put on the talent. So happy he is in a happy and healthy place in his life. The toxicity that genre creates is truly unhealthy and dangerous.

[@missunderstoodpodcast]

Thanks to you for watching! I hope you liked it! 😊

[@dawncombs1408]

Enlightening. I was a huge fan of this show and these people. Honestly it did show me a lot about Persian culture. I learned much so Mikes goal to educate people and highlight the best in their culture actually worked to a great extent. The food, the glamour, the politics and history…..so many things I learned & found fascinating about the Persian people. I was devastated when their friendships broke up and even more so when the show was cancelled. Really sad. Great pod!!

[@missunderstoodpodcast]

Thank you! 🙏 And yeah, Mike has a fascinating story

[@sofialovinglife597]

[@barbaradoucette6672]
