On The Square: Real Talk on Race and Islam in the Americas” is a podcast produced by Sapelo Square in collaboration with the Maydan. Sapelo’s editors get “on the square” with guests in lively and unfiltered conversations on a wide range of real issues from settler colonialism and the police state to the question of being Black and Muslim in the world. Like our award-winning website, On The Square is a digital space where we come together, exchange, celebrate, debate and always keep it real. On The Square and the Maydan Podcast is supported by a generous grant from the Henry Luce Foundation
