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

Are you able to supply links to the podcasts?

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.

Or cllcanada's link will work too.
