Latif has done Radiolab stories on topics ranging from snowflake photography to medieval robots, but is most noted for his groundbreaking serialized podcast The Other Latif. After discovering that a detainee at Guantánamo Bay shares his name, Nasser set out to discover whether his Moroccan namesake, Abdul Latif Nasir, is a martyred innocent or a murderer. Along the way, Radiolab's Latif reflected on American values and his own religious past, and wondered how his namesake, a fellow nerdy, suburban Muslim kid, might have gone down such a strikingly different path.
