Story
From wild and wacky to knee-slapping, laugh-out-loud fun, these humorous tales represent some of the best of recent seasons of the hit public radio series Selected Shorts. Comedian Wyatt Cenac gives a killer performance of Simon Rich’s hilarious tale of woe from the point of view of a condom in a young man’s wallet. Alec Baldwin gives a delightful over-the-top performance of James Thurber’s wonderfully silly classic tale of the day everybody in a small Ohio town thought the dam broke.

Rich with unforgettable cinematic detail and larger-than-life characters, A Game of Birds and Wolves is a heart-wrenching tale of ingenuity, dedication, perseverance, and love, bringing to life the imagination and sacrifice required to defeat the Nazis at sea.

In Canada, volunteers are raising money for charity by playing marathon stints of Penn & Teller's Desert Bus, probably the worst video game ever created. Across the globe, thousands of viewers tune in to Kurt J. Mac's epic but seemingly pointless voyage towards the outer realms of Minecraft's procedurally-generated world.

Story
Nel 1941 gli Alleati stanno perdendo la guerra, almeno nell'Atlantico. Migliaia di navi partono dal Nord America cariche di rifornimenti per il Regno Unito, ma viveri e munizioni non arrivano a destinazione: i convogli vengono sistematicamente intercettati e distrutti dagli U-Boot, i temibili sottomarini dei nazisti. La Gran Bretagna è ormai allo stremo, ma il primo ministro Winston Churchill non vuole che la popolazione ne sia informata. I vertici politici e militari mentono sul numero di imbarcazioni affondate e su quello dei morti, pur sapendo che manca poco alla resa.
