At ISPU, we are always looking for ways to expand the accessibility of our research. Deep Dives with ISPU is the latest endeavor of this goal, a podcast that will put vital research into the hands—and ears—of listeners from all walks of life.

Deep Dives with ISPU will do exactly that—dive into the latest research about American Muslim communities and the topics that affect them. ISPU staff will interview industry experts, scholars, and community leaders on topics ranging from the state of American mosques, to what makes humor Muslim, to the importance of research in Hollywood storytelling.

Make sure you subscribe today on any major podcast streaming network so you are the first to know when new episodes are released. If you have any questions or suggestions for Deep Dives with ISPU, please contact our communications team at communications@ispu.org.
