I also talked to Robert Putnam, the author of Bowling Alone, who continues to make the case that getting involved in real life social activities is the key to combating our loneliness, our isolation. And I was wondering, why is Bumble better than a bike club or a board game night or a church group? Why should people go there instead of trying to meet the old-fashioned way?

It follows the fictional Hussein family as they try to fit into a changing America in the aftermath of 9-11. And it's punctuated with original songs, irreverent humor, and more than a nod to shows like South Park.

This new series, though, is his biggest attempt yet to examine a period that Yusuf says we're all still grappling with in the Trump era. But when I caught up with him, we began our conversation talking about his move into film.
