Latif Nasser is the director of research at Radiolab, where he reports, produces and creates stories on a range of topics… in 2018 he created stories on everything from life at the southern border, to the blue blood of horseshoe crabs, to voting laws, to National Hockey League All-Star games.
.
In this episode Latif and I discuss how he went from a theater kid with playwriting aspirations to creating stories for Radiolab, how he chooses which stories to pursue, and then we go deep into the dynamic, collaborative, and unique process that they use at Radiolab to go from initial pitch to the stories that make us laugh and cry on the radio.
.
I hope you enjoy my conversation with Latif Nasser!
