Muslims en Route 66
Shownotes:
A three-part documentary series, THE GREAT MUSLIM AMERICAN ROAD TRIP follows a
millennial Muslim American couple on a cross-country journey along historic Route 66 as they
explore Islam’s deep roots in America. Making more than a dozen stops between Chicago and
Los Angeles, rapper Mona Haydar and her husband Sebastian Robins meet with authors,
entrepreneurs, medical students, performers and others to better understand the centuries-long
Muslim experience in the United States. This series highlights the diversity of Muslims across the nation and their contributions to history and culture, weaving a colorful story of what it means to be a Muslim in America today.
We are so excited to welcome Mona Haydar back to the podcast to discuss her latest amazing project with PBS. Tune in at 6pm EST tonight on Apple podcasts, Stitcher, iHeartRadio, or click on our link in bio.
