با وجدان (Ba Vojdaan) is Persian for "conscious". Welcome to our little show. We endeavor to live a conscious life in an increasingly zonked-out world. Our mission is to share our unique insights and life experiences to show that there are ways of living a righteous life other than those presented to us by the Gatekeepers of Polite Society. About your hosts: James and Sana met in March 2019 after James, at the time a resident of Virginia Beach, VA, left his email address on a scrap of paper in the beak of a courier pigeon, which somehow ended up as a stowaway on a cargo ship headed for China. The note w/ James' email address got caught up in a windstorm at the port in Qingdao and landed precipitously on the (non-American) football field at British University of Vietnam, where Sana was leading a group of amateur tai chi enthusiasts during their morning routine prior to beginning the day's courses. Mistaking the email address for that of her local supplier of matcha green tea, Sana emailed immediately to refill her supply. James playfully went along with the dialogue for several emails, until finally revealing he indeed had no green tea to sell, but would be willing to share his undying devotion and commitment until the end of time and beyond.
