On this special episode of the Mixed Media podcast, Dallas Morning News writer Avi Selk discusses his story about Irving ninth-grader Ahmed Mohamed, a Muslim boy who was arrested for bringing to school a homemade digital clock that some thought was a bomb. Selk's story went viral and Ahmed is now a social media sensation — and an unwitting symbol. Selk talks candidly about the story, the reaction and what some are describing as America's Islamophobia problem.
