Michigan Public Programming - A Special Ramadan Program
To celebrate the first day of Ramadan, Michigan Public will air Storytellers: Muslims, Community, and Culture in America on Tuesday, February 17, 2026, at 9:00 p.m.
There has been considerable attention paid to American Muslims in the 25 years since 9/11. But largely missing are people from the community telling compelling and authentic stories about their history and their own lived experiences. Comedian and host Sabeen Sadiq introduces listeners to engaging Muslim American storytellers, starting with Sadiq’s own honest and very funny story about growing up a sort of “secret Muslim” in Chicago. Listeners will be captivated and moved by these stories, which reveal the complexity and deep roots of vibrant Muslim communities in America.
Storytellers was produced by Dan O’Donnell. Aida Alami was the reporting lead. Executive produced by Mary Stucky for Round Earth Media, a program of the IWMF. The show was mixed by Aaron Dalton.
Storytellers is distributed by American Public Media
