Kareem Rahma, host of Subway Takes, a viral internet talk show, has transformed public discourse on the subway into engaging entertainment. With a unique setup where guests discuss their opinions riding the subway, he has garnered immense popularity, achieving nearly 52 million likes on TikTok. Rahma highlights the ease of booking guests due to the show's established reputation, which has attracted even high-profile figures. The show's success has led to an expansion into longer-form discussions on Subway Takes Uncut, allowing deeper conversations beyond the subway setting.
"When you think about booking a podcast or any sort of show where there are guests, the most challenging aspect is to have a pipeline of talent. Subway Takes established itself so firmly that that part of the job is actually pretty easy because it's all inbound."
"In the two years of doing Subway Takes, I’ve never had to ask anyone to be on the show. Public figures like Kamala Harris are eager to ride with me and fire off their takes."
