Over the years, Selected Shorts has recorded amazing stories that due to language issues or content advisories were, well, too hot for radio. Now we've gone into the vault, selected some of the best of these recordings, and created this new podcast. It’s Selected Shorts: Too Hot For Radio.

Each episode centers around one story, whether it’s 5 minutes or 45 and will feature commentary and special guests. The show is hosted by comedian Aparna Nancherla. We'll be releasing one show every other week with our partner Panoply. Initial shows feature stories by Stephen King, Simon Rich, Hillary Mantel, and Chuck Palahniuk.
