Podgap (145) | Persian Discussion (B2): There's No Place Like Home

Episode 145

Saturday, April 18, 2026 • Duration 08:04

In this episode of Podgap, we explore the concept of “home” — not merely as a physical space, but as a source of identity, memory, and emotional connection.

While many of us experience a sense of comfort when returning home after a short trip, this feeling takes on deeper meaning for those who have lived abroad for many years.

Today, we examine why some individuals choose to return to their homeland even in challenging or uncertain times and what drives this enduring attachment to the place where their roots lie. Through conversation and personal stories, we seek to understand how the idea of home continues to shape our sense of belonging.

We host a new Podgap meeting the day after each episode is published. All Patreon members are welcome to join! Even free members can participate. Visit www.patreon.com/podgap to receive the Google Meet details.
