Blogs Persas

One estimate puts the numbers of bloggers inside Iran at 46,000, and Derakhshan says there may be as many as 75,000 active Persian-language blogs worldwide.

"During the last two or three years, Iranian blogging has flourished," says Hadi Ghaemi, a native Iranian who now works for Human Rights Watch in New York City.

"In fact, blogging has become the main medium for information, new, analysis and exchange of information for Iranians, both inside and outside the country."

Derakhshan wanted to build on that trend. Just a few months ago, he launched a podcast called Radio Hoder. He's currently offering both a Persian and English version.

Podcasting takes its name from the Apple iPod.

The programmes can be made by anyone with some basic recording equipment, a computer with editing software, and some server space to host the MP3 files.
