Passport Control with Mehdi Barakchian
Passport Control is a comedic, political talk show as goofy as it is smart and Brown as hell. It's got a heavy dose of Middle Eastern culture but speaks to all minorities and, shocker: we're not all the same! We'll shatter some stereotypes while giving us Brown and minority folk a chance to respond to the political environment because, frankly, no one ever asks us. We're here to give you all the ammunition you need to shut down your racist uncle. And if you've got white guilt, you can come learn a thing or two and get a "woke AF" visa on us. Hosted by a Real Live Brown Person, Mehdi Barakchian!
