Our guest picking the music this week is award-winning journalist, writer and poet Mohamed Hassan.

You may have heard, read or seen his work – he previously worked at RNZ as a journalist, is the host of The Big Picture Podcast, and wrote a book How to be a Bad Muslim and an award-winning collection of poetry called National Anthem.

Mohamed’s created the first Kiwi-Muslim TV show that’s released this month, Miles From Nowhere - a six-part drama-comedy series about the everyday and not-so-everyday experiences of Muslims in Aotearoa.
