Description
This is Radio Farda, the Persian-language service of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty. The name means "Radio Tomorrow", and it has been on air since December 2002, reporting on Iranian politics, society, culture and the arts for listeners inside Iran and across the Persian-speaking world. Output is news, current affairs, interviews and podcasts rather than music, running around the clock. It is written and produced in Europe rather than in Iran, and Iranian authorities have spent heavily trying to jam it.

Contact route
an About page carrying a plain listener-contact block with a Telegram handle, a WhatsApp number, a recorded-message telephone line for listeners to leave voice messages, an email address and a postal address; separately the site publishes a page on secure contact with the editorial team offering the same WhatsApp line, a GlobaLeaks anonymous submission platform reachable over Tor and guidance on sending documents, and it links seven accounts it runs itself (Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube, Telegram, SoundCloud, Threads)

What we corrected
Nothing. This station's entry matched what its own site says, which is worth recording: a clean check is a result, not an absence of one.
What we found and did not publish
Material that would have made this page fuller, and was refused. A page with five named presenters looks better than a page with none even when the five are a website theme's demonstration content, and the difference is invisible to a reader. So it is recorded here instead.
| What we could have said | Why we did not |
|---|---|
| the Telegram handle, the WhatsApp number, the listener voicemail telephone number, the editorial email address and the postal address | contact details are not reprinted in this catalogue
source |
| the GlobaLeaks onion address for anonymous submissions | it is a source-protection channel for whistleblowers, not a listener contact route, and republishing it serves no listener

If you think something here is wrong
Tell us which fact and what you found instead. Everything above names its source and its date, so a disagreement can be settled by looking rather than argued. Where another site disagrees with us, it is usually because it is repeating a radio directory, and occasionally because we got it wrong. We would like to know which.
Read from the station's own material; this page is generated from the
catalogue as it stands now, so it changes when the research does. Research
current as at 2026.
