Until one day when he makes a bizarre and shocking discovery. He shares his name with another man: Abdul Latif Nasser, detainee 244 at Guant\u00e1namo Bay. The U.S. government paints a terrifying picture of The Other Latif as Al-Qaeda\u2019s top explosives expert, and one of the most important advisors to Osama bin Laden. Nasser\u2019s lawyer claims that he was at the wrong place at the wrong time, and that he was never even in Al-Qaeda. This clash leads Radiolab\u2019s Latif into a years-long investigation, picking apart evidence, attempting to separate fact from fiction, and trying to uncover what this man actually did or didn\u2019t do. Along the way, Radiolab\u2019s Latif reflects on American values and his own religious past, and wonders how his namesake, a fellow nerdy, suburban Muslim kid, may have gone down such a strikingly different path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can tune to listen to the first episode of RadioLab&#8217;s first podcast series <em>The Other Latif<\/em> wherever you get your podcasts, or use the links below: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wnycstudios.org\/podcasts\/radiolab\/articles\/other-latif-episode-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WNYC Studios website<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/gb\/podcast\/the-other-latif\/id1500048571\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Apple Podcasts<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/2hmkzUtix0qTqvtpPcMzEL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Spotify<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stitcher.com\/podcast\/wnycs-radiolab\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Stitcher<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pocket Casts<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Radiolab\u2019s Latif Nasser always believed his name was unique, singular, completely his own.
