n THE OTHER LATIF — PRESENTED BY RADIOLAB

R

adiolab reporter Latif Nasser finds one other person in the world who shares his name: Detainee 244 at Guantanamo Bay. Over the course of several years, Radiolab’s Nasser investigated a man the U.S. government claims was one of Osama bin Laden’s top advisors. As is always the case with Radiolab and its side projects, this six-part series is as heart-rending as it is fascinating. npr.org/podcasts —CR

F

ans of this show know that technology is just the frame in which hosts PJ Vogt and Alex Goldman hang beautiful snapshots of humanity. Tracing the origins of viral memes, conspiracy theories, deep fakes, dark patterns and whole constellations of Twitter fights leads to captivating storytelling. Check out episode 158, “The Case of the Lost Hit,” where Vogt and Goldman help a listener hunt down a song that’s seemingly lost in the ether — a prime example of this show’s playful brilliance. gimletmedia.com/ shows/reply-all —CR

n QUEER SEX ED

S

ex education in the United States is abysmal, particularly if you’re anything other than cisgendered, heterosexual, non-disabled and monogamous. Queer Sex Ed is a project by Boulder-local Sara Connel to turn sex on its head — to “queer” sex education by not only centering on LGBTQIA folks, but also people with disabilities and others on the margins who find themselves left out of sexual discussions and education. Sara and cohost Jay tackle trans justice and inclusion, consent, BDSM, polyamory, body dysmorphia and so much more with compassion, intelligence and humor. queersexed.org —CR n HEAVYWEIGHT

U

sing an outsize version of his neurotic personality to narrate, Heavyweight host Jonathan Goldstein employs an absurdist brand of humanity to help others resolve long-past conflicts. There’s not always a satisfying answer (the episode “Rose,” for example, where a woman longs to understand why she was kicked out of her college sorority), but even then there’s a sense of closure. Other episodes, like “Scott,” showcase Goldstein’s ability to set his subjects at ease, resulting in a multi-generational investigation and a heartwarming conclusion. gimletmedia.com/shows/ heavyweight —CR
