Today, Fresh Air released a statement saying they haven't been told exactly why the show has been banned. At any rate, it's clear the Louis C.K. thing didn't help.

The July 7 episode of the show featured a discussion with C.K., who was promoting his sitcom where he plays a newly divorced single father — a role he's settling into in real life. Rachel Maddow offers a portion of the transcript that may have been deemed too hot for radio.

Louis C.K.: But if I'm with a woman and she wants to be with me, she must like me. I definitely have sex with my T-shirt on, always. I haven't had sex without a shirt on, God, since I was about 23."

Terry Gross: Is that true?

Louis C.K.: Yeah, I just don't think that's fair. I mean, you know, let her think she's with somebody decent, you know? ... I do have sex sometimes on the show, and there's a rule that I have to be on my back.

Terry Gross: Why, because your stomach flattens?

Louis C.K.: Well, no, God, no. I'm not laying back in that bed thinking, "I look awesome right now." It's because I think I should always be the victim of the sex. I don't think anyone wants to see me looming over her. I think that's an upsetting image. And then also, the mother-dog stomach that I get when I'm ... you get the point.

"Often" is a relative term but even something as mildly sexual as the content above is a rarity for Gross. Her interview with Russell Brand was infuriatingly intellectual and she once made Tracy Morgan cry.
