Welcome to Immigrantly: a boundary-pushing, border-crossing podcast that gives diverse voices and stories home. Drawing on her own experiences as a rights activist and a first-generation Asian immigrant, creator & host, Saadia Khan tackles the big questions on race, identity & the immigrant experience while challenging mainstream narratives. Through Immigrantly, we are revolutionizing storytelling in America by offering a new kind of intellectual engagement that encourages listeners to learn and unlearn on their terms without fear of judgment. Our vision is to normalize the immigrant identity within the American social discourse for a kinder, more humane world. Covering everything from love and dating to food and faith, each weekly episode explores a theme with inspiring guests such as Grammy-winning singer Arooj Aftab, bestselling author of 'The Kite Runner,' Khaled Hosseini, and comedians Hari Kondabolu and Aparna Nancherla. It's a true celebration of what makes us unique and a timely reminder of all that unites us...

episode 218: Riding Along with Kareem Rahma: Creating 'Keep the Meter Running' and More
In this episode, I sit down with Kareem Rahma, the creator of the popular series "Keep the Meter Running" on TikTok and YouTube. In each episode, Kareem catches a taxi in New York City and tells the driver to take him to their favorite place while keeping the meter running. From visiting new restaurants to flying in a helicopter, Kareem's conversations with his cab drivers are entertaining and insightful.
Kareem is a comedian, content creator, entrepreneur, and fellow podcaster. You may have seen him in a commercial for TheRealReal, on an episode of the Drew Barrymore Show, or even once going viral for dipping his hot dog in his beer at a baseball game. I'm excited to chat with Kareem about his experiences creating "Keep the Meter Running" and his other ventures, as well as his creative process, motivations, and personal life. So join me for an entertaining and informative conversation with Kareem Rahma.
