My story “Dandelions” is on the Selected Shorts podcast right now, as read by actor Wyatt Cenac. It’s Episode 50: Best Laid Plans, which also includes “Cane and Roses” by Edwidge Danticat (as read by Anika Noni Rose), and “The Laurel and Hardy Love Affair” by Ray Bradbury (as read by Tate Donovan). Find it here or wherever you listen to your podcasts.

“Dandelions” first appeared in the anthology Small Odysseys: Selected Shorts Presents 35 New Stories, edited by Hannah Tinti, which you can find here or at your local bookstore.
