In February, Barack and Michelle Obama announced they were putting their names behind a podcast to amplify Muslim voices via their company Higher Ground Productions.
Tell Them, I Am began streaming last Monday on Spotify, just in time for Ramadan. Hosted by Pakistani-American Misha Euceph, the first episode featured Muhammad Mvstermind Austin, a rising rapper and producer from Missouri, who will be among 22 guests this season.
Other guests slated to appear include Turkish NBA player Enes Kanter, former model Halima Aden, Malala Yousafzai and Indian tabla player Zakir Hussain.
While the first season of
Tell Them, I Am was released in 2019, the second season is poised to give the show a louder voice, thanks to the Obamas’ backing.
