Loving By Knowing Less
Sharon Mashihi’s new audio series, Appearances
, is decidedly not a documentary. Mashihi, an Iranian Jewish artist and podcast producer best known for her work on The Heart
, places it at “six and a half out of ten on the truth spectrum.” The protagonist of the series, which was produced by Mermaid Palace and Radiotopia, is a lightly fictionalized version of Mashihi named Melanie, and wrestles with questions drawn from her creator’s own life: whether to have a baby as a single mother or with her non-Jewish, non-Iranian, much older boyfriend; and how to build a family that both reflects and departs from the struggles she witnessed growing up in an immigrant household.
