Akbar is the host of the podcast See Something Say Something about Muslim American life.[5] Initially based at BuzzFeed, The New York Times called See Something Say Something one of the best new podcasts of the year when it debuted in 2016.[6] IndieWire called the show's episode "Parents" "an ideal example of the casual confidence of See Something, Say Something" and "a sincere supplement to an oft-overlooked part of our national conversation", listing it as one of the 50 best podcast episodes of the year.[7] The podcast became independent, with a supporting Patreon,[8] in 2018 when BuzzFeed closed its audio division.[9]
In 2022, Akbar won a James Beard Foundation Journalism Award for Feature Reporting for his story "Inside the Secretive, Semi-Illicit, High Stakes World of WhatsApp Mango Importing".[10] The story followed on a two-part podcast episode he had made on the subject for America's Test Kitchen.[11]
