Welcome to Another New Thing by Kareem Rahma
Hey, it’s me, Kareem Rahma. It’s 6:35PM on a Monday and I’m so happy you’re reading this because that means you clicked on "about” and are curious to learn more about me.
I’m a comedian, writer and producer based in Brooklyn, New York. But I’m also a musician. And a filmmaker. And a former entrepreneur. I also used to be a media executive and worked at Vice and The New York Times. I’m also a new dad. I also created and am the host of 2 very popular internet shows. One is called SubwayTakes and the other is called Keep The Meter Running.
I’m a lot of stuff—we all are. But social media tries to flatten us into one-dimensional people. But I like to do a lot of stuff, and I want to share it.
And that’s the vibe of Another New Thing – a place for me to share what I’m working on, experiment with new formats, try new things, and keep you updated on all the happenings in my life."

Exclusive access to my marquee column, One New Thing, where I try new things and write about them. It was inspired by watching my daughter learn about the world. I figure if she’s trying new things, maybe I should too!
