Reza Aslan always knew he'd be a writer

<p><a href="https://twitter.com/rezaaslan?s=20">Reza Aslan</a> always knew he would be a writer -- though he may not have always known he would be the author of a New York Times #1 bestseller, a TV host, producer, a scholar, and an Emmy nominee. Reza straddles a very unique intersection, as a scholar of religion with a robust career in entertainment. Listen to my chat with Reza on how he got to that intersection -- and keep an eye out for his sitcom (made with the creator of acclaimed comedy Two and a Half Men), the United States of Al, set to premiere on CBS this April 1st.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Where to find Reza:&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/rezaaslan?s=20">Follow Reza on Twitter&nbsp;</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/rezaaslanofficial">Follow Reza on Facebook&nbsp;</a></li> <li><a href="http://rezaaslan.com/">Find Reza on his website&nbsp;&nbsp;</a></li> </ul> <p><br></p> <p>Follow me, the host <a href="https://www.instagram.com/laylool/">@laylool</a>, on IG, and the <a href="https://instagram.com/muslimsdoingthings">pod</a> on Instagram.&nbsp;</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/laylool/message
