Debatable
In competitive debate future presidents, supreme court justices, and titans of industry pummel each other with logic and rhetoric. Unclasp your briefcase. It'due south time for a showdown. Looking back on an episode originally aired in 2016, we have a good long look at the world of competitive higher debate. This is Ryan Launder's story. He's a queer, Black, showtime-generation college educatee from Kansas Urban center, Missouri who joined the debate team at Emporia Land Academy on a whim. When he started going up against fast-talking, well-funded, "name-make" teams, from places like Northwestern and Harvard, information technology was clear he wasn't in Kansas anymore. So Ryan became the vanguard of a movement that made everything virtually contend debatable. In the end, he fabricated himself a dwelling house in a strange and hostile land. Whether he was able to change what counts as rigorous academic argument ... well, that'southward still upwardly for debate.

The Other Latif: Cuba-ish
Well-nigh exactly twenty years ago, detainee 244 got transferred to Guantanamo Bay. Captured by American forces at the battle Tora Bora five months previous, Abdul Latif Nasser was shaved, hooded, shackled, diapered, and flown halfway beyond the globe. The Radiolab special serial, The Other Latif, kicked off when 1 of our hosts, Latif Nasser, made a bizarre and shocking discovery. He shares his name with detainee 244. A man the U.S. regime paints a terrifying movie of equally Al-Qaeda's top explosives good, and one of the nigh of import advisors to Osama bin Laden. Nasser's lawyer claims, on the other mitt, that he was at the wrong place at the wrong time, and that he was never even in Al-Qaeda. This disharmonism launched our Latif into a years-long investigation, picking apart evidence, attempting to split up fact from fiction, and trying to uncover what the man with whom he shares a name actually did or didn't do. Along the manner, Radiolab'due south Latif reflects on American values and his own religious past, and wonders how a beau nerdy, suburban Muslim kid, may accept gone down such a strikingly different path. Episode 5: Republic of cuba-ish To mark the solemn occasion of the other Latif's transfer to, "the legal equivalent of outer space," we thought we'd replay Cuba-ish, the fifth episode of our special series which first aired back in 2020. In this episode, our Latif heads to Guantanamo Bay to try to speak to his namesake. Before he gets there, he dives deep, seeking the answer to what seems like a simple question: why Cuba? Why in the world did the United states choice this sleepy military base in the Caribbean to house "the worst of the worst"? Back up Radiolab by becoming a member of The Lab today.

The Other Latif: Cuba-ish
NULL
A one-word magical spell. Several years back, that's exactly what Joseph Tartaro thought he'd discovered. It was a spell that, if used properly, promised to make one'south problems disappear. And and so he crossed his fingers, uttered the word and cast the enchantment on himself. The consequence, notwithstanding, was anything just magical. Unbeknownst to Joseph, by unleashing this spell, he'd earned a lifetime membership into a cursed community. A clan fabricated up of folks who, through no fault of their own, had become nameless and invisible. Today, the story of these unfortunate souls, the dark digital arts that took and so much from them and the wizardry needed to requite them new life. Special cheers to Sarah Chasins, Tony Hoare, Brian Kernighan and to Patrick McKenzie for writing that wonderful list of assumptions programmers believe well-nigh names. And also to all the folks who spoke to us and emailed us with stories of their own 'problematic' names. DOWNLOAD BRAILLE READY FILE HERE Support Radiolab by becoming a fellow member of The Lab today.

The Right Stuff

Merely what if, this whole time, we've had it all incorrect? In this episode, reporter Andrew Leland joins a blind linguistics professor named Sheri Wells-Jensen and a crew of eleven other disabled people on a mission to prove that disabled people accept what it takes to go to infinite. And non just that, but that they may have an edge over not-disabled people. We follow the Mission AstroAccess coiffure members to Long Beach, California, where they hop on an aeroplane to take an electrifying flight that simulates zero-gravity – a method used by NASA to railroad train astronauts – and afterwards learn that the biggest challenges to a future where space is accessible to all people may not be where they expected to find them.
