this is great news!
i had not yet opened my emails or my news feeds and saw your post.
i have followed jason even before he had appeared on "parts unknown" with anthony bourdain. his family must be so thrilled!
i went to anthony bourdains twitter account and saw this....

Anthony Bourdain ‏@Bourdain

I dearly hope this is http://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jan/16/iran-releases-washington-post-journalist-jason-rezaian ...

it can be nerve racking going back and forth sometimes because of the lack of dual citizenship policy that iran has.
so glad that four of them have been released. lets hope we can bring more home soon and we continue to have productive dialogues and a better relationship with iran.

@sunshine45 thank you for reminding me where I first saw Jason and his story. So, so happy he and the other hostages have been released!

Iran has released a fifth American, student Matthew Trevithick, a U.S. official said on Saturday, separately from four other Americans who were released in a prisoner swap as international sanctions were due to be lifted on Iran.
It was unclear when Trevithick, a student, was released.

Yup. That would be the one.

UPDATE: Jason's wife is on the plane too!

EXTRA good news!

They were such a gracious, wonderful couple on Bourdain's show - so positive about Iran and it's people...I was impressed with them from that day - before everything happened to them.

Oh that is just excellent news, thank you for letting us know Terrier. After I watched the Anthony Bourdain interview I fell in love with them as a couple so knowing that are both safe now is just the best news ever!
