From the wild marshes of Iraq to the hilltops of West Bank, Inna Lazareva interviews the author and former diplomat Gerard Russell on the Middle East’s exotic yet tragically disappearing religious minorities. From the influences of Pythagoras to unusual encounters in supermarkets around downtown Detroit, Mr Russell explores the fates of Yazidis, Mandaeans, Zoroastrians, and many others in his recent book ‘Heirs to Forgotten Kingdoms’ which we discuss on ‘Out of the Comfort Zone’ this week.
