Is the content FCC safe?

Always. We remove the words "f@#k" and "sh%t" and several other terms. We do not use anything the FCC would deem "sexually explicit language" or "describing excretory activity."

However, the current atmosphere in public radio makes it necessary to go further for some stations, to flag content that might make even a single listener uneasy. So even if there is no question as to the legality of content, we will provide station with the times of content in our hours they may want to evaluate, particularly if there is, as Ira Glass said in an intro, anything that "acknowledges the existence of sex in this story, though with no explicit scenes, words, or ideas." And we will always have a "safe" evergreen episode available as a replacement.
