Jason Rezaian knows the cost of free speech. He spent 544 days in an Iranian prison for simply being a journalist.

The world is witnessing the erosion of democratic values. The Freedom Desk video podcast is about what comes next in the global fight for free expression.

Every week, Jason talks to one leading voice about freedoms gained, freedoms lost, who's trying to take it from us, and how we take it back.

First episode drops September 9th.
