Kareem Rahma's ‘SubwayTakes' Announces Podcast Launch in Partnership With Talkhouse Network (EXCLUSIVE)
Kareem Rahma's popular 'SubwayTakes' talk show is entering the podcast space with the announcement of a partnership with Talkhouse Network, the media company that comprises shows including Blank Check, Alison Roman's Solicited Advice and How Long Gone.
As part of its launch, announced exclusively on Variety, the 'SubwayTakes Uncut' podcast has released its first episode with guest Hasan Minhaj, which can currently be watched or heard where podcasts are available. Listeners and viewers can expect appearances from Jane Goodall and John C. Reilly on future episodes.
'I am excited to spend more time on the train,' says Rahma. 'When Talkhouse said they would pay for my monthly MetroCard, I knew they were the best partner for this podcast.'
Launched in March 2023, 'SubwayTakes' was co-created by Rahma and Andrew Kuo, and has since amassed over 700,000 Instagram followers and elicited hundreds of millions of views across social media. Each segment opens with Rahma asking 'So what's your take?,' prompting hot take responses from a slew of guests including FKA Twigs, Lil Nas X, Gwen Stefani, Halsey, Omar Apollo and many more.
'One of the most exciting things is that most people have only seen these 90 second clips of Kareem (to the tune of billions of views!),' says Talkhouse President Ian Wheeler. 'As I've come to know him, he's just one of the smartest, most insightful people… I really cannot wait for everyone to spend more time with him in these longer form conversations and all of the other many extensions he's working on.'
