2 min readJan 24, 2017

Over the years, Selected Shorts at Symphony Space 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. Welcome to 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.

About Episode 11:

Amber Tamblyn (Performer) | Roxane Gay (Author)

From award-winning American feminist writer, Roxane Gay, we feature a powerful story about feeling trapped and wanting to run away. “How” is from Gay’s new story collection Difficult Women which explores women’s lives and issues of race, class and sex. Yes, it’s a dark story, but hopeful, too. Reader Amber Tamblyn, a friend of Gay’s, is known for her work on The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Joan of Arcadia and Two and A Half Men.
