“I really enjoy this podcast overall in part due its provocative nature and overall feel it is clearly 5 star. The most recent episode on Jim Brown, however, was a missed opportunity to balance Brown’s ‘complicated’ personal history, given the two chosen guests came across to me more as Jim...”Read full review »

“The content of this show is usually good but I think I’m going to move on from it because (1) the show has begun to suffer from a lack of continuity among hosts; while the guest hosts are good, I prefer a show with regular hosts who are committed to the project and have a rapport with each other;...”Read full review »

“This is by far my favourite podcast of the podcast week. I love the segments that are a little out of the normal realm of sports talk. The guys still talk about topical things when it’s what everyone is talking about. But there’s more in depth segments that highlight the odd investigative piece...”Read full review »

“Tremendous stuff from Joel Anderson on Jim Brown. I’m a Syracuse native and huge Cuse fan, obviously. I’m also a big Lacrosse fan. You ask any old times lacrosse person and they will tell you Jim Brown’s best sport was Lacrosse. Love the Pod, as always. David from Syracuse.”

“Excellent! Really enjoy the current lineup of host. My constructive criticism is that the after balls goes on too long. Sportscasters love to hear themselves speak. It doesn’t really diminish the podcast because the hosts usually have something insightful to say.
If I were to compare this to...”Read full review »

“Listening to “Hang up and listen” is a very odd proposition. You quickly realize that sports is not the point at all. Instead it’s just accelerant used to move quickly into a very provincial way of thinking about the world around us. It’s politics everywhere and all the time and sports certainly...”Read full review »

“It is crazy that at the start of every game, Rachel Nichols flashes the white power symbol with her left hand, for a long time during her monologue. You can go back and check. She did it from the preseason on. She obviously does not Want to be around “those” people. It devastated my children and...”Read full review »

“I listen to a lot of podcasts. Many of them at 1.5x speed, and some of them I delete episodes as soon as they download. But Hang Up and Listen has been my absolute favorite for as long as I can remember. The content is rich, nuanced, well-researched, respectful, and often wildly entertaining....”Read full review »

“I don’t listen to this show as much as I used to but still subscribe for some reason. I saw that their Last Dance ep was behind a paywall and laughed so hard. It’s like they think there is a dearth of The Last Dance podcast eps out there! Did they do their episode on the NFL draft on Slate Plus...”Read full review »

“...long time listener. Love the podcast! But why doesn’t Stefan’s bioblurb end with “...and the cult minor league baseball classic ‘Wild and Outside’?”
Speaking of sad middle aged men, I’m pretty sure I “liked” one of Stefan’s Tiger Tweets.”

“Pro
Scholarly takes on current sports events
Lefty slant on labor & race issues
Guests curated for originality and intelligence
Con
Too judgy and quick to criticize alternative views
