Hey there, Hang Up Listeners, you're about to hear a preview of this week's episode of our show.

The coronavirus pandemic has made it a challenge for us to do hang up in a financially sustainable way.

Because of that, we're temporarily changing how we do the

podcast. Every other week, the full hang-up and listen will be for Slate Plus

members only, with just the first segment available to non-members. If you want to hear

every word of every episode that we do, you need to subscribe to Slate Plus. It's only

$35 for the first year and your membership will help assure

that we can continue doing Hang Up and Listen for a very long time. If you want to

subscribe go to Slate.com slash hang up plus.

That's sleet.com slash hang up plus.

Thanks so much.
