The host of Afghanistan's most popular breakfast show, Massood Sanjer, 28, mocks ministers and makes fun of heavily armed and touchy people. From 1996 to 2001, he was a newsreader on the Taliban's Radio Shariat, at a time when dancing was punishable with execution - he announced such killings. Today, he lives with his family in a bullet-pocked apartment in Kabul's middle-class Macroryan area. He was interviewed during breaks on his show and on a drive around Kabul.
