All right, so let me set this episode up for you. At Radiolab, part of the whole ethos here is that we've got this incredibly talented team of producers and reporters and researchers and fact-checkers and everybody's got slightly different superpowers. And so what we'll do on occasion is get together and share, like tips and tricks. And somewhere along the way, we ended up asking our reporter producer, Latif Nasr, how do you go about finding stories? Because one of the things about Latif is he finds the weirdest, most interesting stories. Stories like the one you just heard about the praying monkbot or the forgotten history of our southern border with Mexico or the game theory of badminton. And, you know, at pitch meetings, we're always like, "How the hell did you find that?" So we asked him to talk about his process, and he ended up giving a talk about it to the whole staff. And then he ended up writing an article about it for transom.org, and that article sort of went viral. And we figured we should just pass along some of his advice to everybody. And so one of our newer producers, Rachel Cusick, got on the phone with Latif and he went through some of his tips and tricks.
