Several voices in one programme

The episode description identifies Arash Dabestani’s conversation with Rabihavi and a separate contribution from literary commentator Keyhan Khanjani. These are different voices within the programme: an author speaking about his work and a critic discussing it. Source 1 · Source 3

The description and the listening source

The published description introduces Rabihavi through his fiction, war writing and plays. It supplies an orientation and programme credits, but no verbatim transcript. This guide does not reconstruct the conversation’s questions or attribute additional statements to the speakers from that description. Source 1 · Source 3

Publication is not recording

The feed and distribution pages agree on 20 April 2020 as the episode publication date. That does not establish the recording day, and a later video upload is not treated as a newly dated conversation without a confirmed relationship between the recordings. Source 1 · Source 2 · Source 3

What the programme introduces

The publisher’s description outlines childhood and family, his mother’s role in his literary life, conditions before and after the revolution, war, prison and the Thursday meetings with Golshiri. It ends that outline with a remembrance of Harold Pinter. These are the announced subjects of the episode, rather than a reconstruction of Rabihavi’s answers. Source 1

The same description lists plays under the names Look Europe!, Pesar-e Zibaye Man, translated here as My Beautiful Son, and Tragedy of the Shah. Pesar-e Zibaye Man is an attested Persian title in programme metadata. A separate French profile names Mon beau garçon; these notices do not, on their own, establish that the two titles refer to an identical script, publication or performance. Source 1

A third programme strand is also credited: Tamila Pashaei introduces Bahareh Abdi in the new-writing segment, followed by Abdi reading her story. That contribution belongs to another writer, alongside Dabestani’s author interview and Khanjani’s criticism. Keeping the credits distinct makes the episode’s shared form visible. Source 1
