Try NPR's RadioLab podcasts about CRISPR. They do a nice job of explaining it and the potential dangers, with less technical jargon.

I believe this is the correct link: npr.org/podcasts/452538884/...

If that doesn't work, go to npr.org/podcasts and search for Radio Lab. Then scroll down to the February 24, 2017 episode. It actually contains an older show that covered CRISPR, plus an update of current information.
