Selected Shorts is an NPR program where celebrities read award-winning short works. Rejected Shorts is that show’s evil twin.
Rejected Shorts invites people to share their scorned satire, bad headlines, failed essays, and other art that didn’t make the cut. It’s cathartic. It’s funny. It’s for anyone who’s ever heard the response, “thanks, but no thanks”.
Hosted by Michelle Cohn.
