Afghanistan has faced decades of war and political turmoil, but Saad Mohseni saw that the world often didn't take much notice. He wanted people both in and outside Afghanistan to be better informed, so decided to start the country's first privately-funded radio station. After years of Taliban rule, Armen FM's mix of male and female DJs, pop music and news was initially unpopular. But as Saad expanded further into TV and entertainment across South Asia, his media empire has become a household name. He reflects on 20 years of broadcasting, dealing with threats from the Taliban, and keeping Afghan women on air.
