About this episode
Alan and Lionel are joined by Saad Mohseni, the tycoon who reshaped Afghanistan's media landscape.
In 2001, Saad was forging a career in international banking. But after the invasion of Afghanistan, and the subsequent fall of the Taliban government, he decided to move to Kabul.
There, he co-founded the Moby Group, the country’s largest media company, where he is chairman and executive officer. He also started a radio station, soon spawning a TV station which broadcast the now-banned hit talent show, Afghan Star.
Saad discusses his book Radio Free Afghanistan and what it is like to operate a media empire after the Taliban’s return.
