Something we're featuring on Selects this month: Sandy Tolan's 1998 doc The Lemon Tree paired with a piece by Melissa Robbins exploring homeland for Palestinian refugees. Come sit with a story rather than scroll through a reaction. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

I'm not a cat I don't say meow, but if you have one minute and forty seven seconds to enjoy being delighted by the "shock of the obvious," give a listen to Cat Names which is part of our Selects programming this month. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cat…

Its midweek and what would go great with lunch is a piece that reminds you where you've come from and where you're going. Check out Memorial, a part of a trilogy of memoirs by D. Roberts that we're featuring on Selects (for only $2.99 a month people)!! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mem…

As we get closer to the official start of summer, may I suggest one last journey to those frozen times. That season when you need to bundle up with an oversized scarf and four early works by Sean Cole. This month on Selects, a little sonic warmth because podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bab…

Our first Selects programming for June is live! A collection of three SF radio shows that aired from 1973-84. Among other things, it includes a non-narrated doc with original audio from the White Night Riot so you can start your Pride with some protest✊podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/you…

As you make your summer reading list consider adding The Big Read, a sonic book club made by the NEA in 2007. Each doc pairs with a Great American Novel and we've chosen a few of our favorites. Your tax dollars at work on Selects. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

If I may humbly note that Selects is $30 for a *FULL YEAR* of programming. There are already seven totally unique shows that can fit into any listening schedule, and we've got another next week. Apple users, please give it a try (Android soon). podcasts.apple.com/us/channel/sel…

"I would say absolutely the mainstream gay movement is racist" sits at the top of the provocative doc Beyond Gay Marriage. Sure love is love, but what is pride without dignity? Listen on Selects and bring a fan because this one is a scorcher. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bey…

Are sports good for us? This question is at the center of Contested, a 2015 series that served as the inaugural season of Scene on Radio. Listen on Selects and relive the first time that John Biewen made you reconsider everything you thought you knew. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/con…

Honored to publish Concerning Breakfast today. This 30 min doc probes a blinding family lore, a young girl defiantly starving herself, and a complicated friendship that brings her back from the edge. The first minute has truly stuck with me my whole career podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/con…
