Latif Nasser
Curator
Latif (rhymes with “what-if”) Nasser is co-host of the award-winning WNYC Studios show Radiolab, where he has covered everything from cone snails to precocious puberty to a Guantanamo Bay detainee who shares his name. His reporting on the show led to the naming of two quasi-moons in our solar system. In addition to his work in audio, Latif hosted and executive produced the Netflix science documentary series, Connected. He has given two TED talks, and contributes to the YouTube channel Veritasium.
He has a PhD from Harvard’s History of Science department.
Matt Kielty
Host Matt Kielty is a senior producer at Radiolab. His stories often begin with an odd question—about science, history, or the everyday world—and follow it wherever it leads, whether that’s inside a microwave or into the contested genetics of sexual orientation. His work has been recognized with a Peabody Award and awards from the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the National Center on Disability.
Before joining Radiolab, he learned radio from Rob Rosenthal at the Salt Institute for Documentaries Studies, was a fellow at This American Life, and was awarded the Above the Fray fellowship to report in Uganda.
