“Although the podcast was often hard to listen to due to the content in regard to how detainees were treated by our government at Guantanamo, the story was so well told and Latif did a great job of humanizing The Other Latif who spent too many years locked up! I would recommend this storytelling...”Read full review »

“The reporter/host constantly punctuates his speech with “Wow!” and “Woah!” which just gets really annoying and non-professional sounding after a while; it’s a shame because it’s a really good story”

“It’s been probably a year or more since I binged this on a (very long) roadtrip thru the American West. I love investigative podcasts and I listen to a lot of them, but this is the one I always point to as the pinnacle of the form. Better, even, than (the very excellent) Serial. Latif, you are an...”Read full review »

“RadioLab itself got me into podcasts, years ago. I love that they’ve branched out to produce something as captivating as The Other Latif, which begs for us to ask ourselves .. Do the excuses of war excuse us of our own actions and inactions?”

“A demonstration of the complicated lives of the poor and desperate outside of North America and Europe. And a testament to their vulnerability to geopolitics and the whims of the powerful.”

I am so proud of Radio Lab and all their hard work at putting this compelling documentary out about what can happen when information lines are crossed. As an American, it is hard to listen to the injustice that occurs...”Read full review »

“While I was curious about the topic, I wasn’t sure I’d want to listen to all the episodes… I was entranced! So well researched. Kudos to Latif and his team, as well as the attorneys who persevered. May real justice prevail and close Guantanamo down.”

“This is a well researched, very good podcast however I’m really stunned at how the journalist keeps defending a man who trained at a terrorist camp and went to Afghanistan to fight. He wasn’t on vacation at a training camp and please don’t insult listeners by suggesting that.”

“You must certainly listen to this podcast for the story. While the narrator’s incessant self-reference and framing of the story through the lens of his own life proves annoying and results in some second-hand embarrassment, you will learn something from the first Latif if only you persevere.”

Hope there will be an update and a change of fate for the ‘other Latif’.
Besides learning his story you will also discover many things about the making and what is happening in Guantanamo. Worth your time.”

“Maybe if we’re doing serious social justice investigative journalism, let’s widen the applicant pool beyond “guys who have the same name”? My guy, he doesn’t even pronounce it the same as you. I feel like all the interview subjects must have been rolling their eyes at this clown. He sounded drunk...”Read full review »
