Kareem Rahma Revives 'Keep the Meter Running' as Long-Form YouTube Series

Kareem Rahma, who previously worked as an audience development strategist for Vice and The New York Times, is bringing back his show 'Keep the Meter Running' as a half-hour series on YouTube. Initially presented as short clips on TikTok, the program features Rahma hailing a cab and asking the driver to take him to a favorite location, structured in three acts: a cab ride, a dinner stop, and a surprise activity. The first season showcases live solo performances, visits to a Russian bathhouse, and fishing excursions. Inspired by his cab-driving father, Rahma aims to share the narratives of everyday individuals, setting his work apart from celebrity-centric content. The series is independently produced with assistance from And Media, free from network or streaming affiliations. Rahma also continues his well-received 'SubwayTakes' series, interviewing subway passengers and occasionally celebrities like Spike Lee, David Byrne, and Cate Blanchett.
