Let me quickly say and leave so you can comfortably listen to the program! Tonight we have a guest in this program after a long time! On the occasion of the release of Shahin Najafi's new album, I asked Shahin to come to this week's program. I have been following Shahin's work for years. I have interviewed him several times at different points in my programs. He is someone I have a lot of respect for. His artistic journey over the years has been very courageous. Shahin is not afraid of experimenting. And of course, since he is from Gilan, I have a neighborhood-like relationship with him! He is a good person and does not harm anyone! An important characteristic of him is that when he disagrees with you, he doesn't want to eliminate you! Instead, he becomes serious and says: if you want to discuss, let's sit down and discuss properly! His new album titled 'Third Gender' was released yesterday and is available everywhere for you to listen to. My first question to Shahin is why is this album called 'Third Gender'? Who is the Third Gender? What is it? And why?
