Dr. Holakouee: Like an Iranian Dr. Phil, but so much better
by Sepideh Saremi
Dr. Farhang Holakouee, Iranian-radio shrink extraordinaire, now has an online
archive of past shows. If you grew up Iranian in Los Angeles, you either heard this guy so often that his show’s theme song is forever embedded in your mind, or, if you were really bad, your parents called in to ask him what to do with you. (You know who you are.) With his velvety voice, there weren’t many caller problems that proved insurmountable to Dr. H., whether they were import-bride marriage issues, identity crises, or chronic deja vu (I can’t even count the number of times I heard calls from people who were convinced they could dream the future). A couple things were for sure: he always asked which number sibling you were, and he almost always sided with the kids.
For anyone who wants to peek deep into the Tehrangeles psyche, his show is a must-hear.
