Hang Up and Listen - Hanging Up and Listening

Hosts Alex Kirshner, Lindsay Gibbs, and Ben Lindbergh join forces one last time to break down (what else?) the week’s top sports stories. Then, the panel is joined by Hang Up all-star guests from across the years (including John Wertheim, Jeff Passan, Louisa Thomas, and more) to share memories from the show’s seventeen-year run and make predictions of the sports world for the next seventeen.

Finally, Lindsay closes us out with an Afterball capturing what the WNBA was like seventeen years ago.


The Masters: (12:48): Rory is still great


The Hang Up Guest All Stars (39:27): “This show was the perfect anti-toxin to sports radio.”


Afterballs (1:11:41): One of the most thrilling WNBA Finals occurred in 2009 (not a typo!)
