Hang Up and Listen fans.

People who are listening for the first time.

You might hear a bad word or two.

Hi, I'm Josh Levine, Slate's national editor, and this is Hang Up and Listen for the week of November 8th, 2021.

On this week's show, we're going to talk about the Green Bay Packers' unvaxed quarterback, Aaron Rogers,

if the woke mob doesn't cancel us first. We'll also discuss ESPN's investigation of Phoenix Sun's owner Robert

Sarver and what the NBA will and should do about all the alleged racism and misogyny

that investigation uncovered. Finally, the Washington Post's Candace Buckner will be here

to discuss her piece on coaches and fashion, what to make it a fact that the NBA sidelines are now full of quarter zips

instead of suits. I'm in Washington, D.C. I'm the author of the queen and the host of the podcast

one year. Joining me from Palo Alto, host of Slow Burn season six, the L.A. riots. Episode one out now,

episode two out this week. Joel, people are saying it's the podcast for the post Gary Patterson era.

Hell really? Yeah, I was hoping we could get Gary to release some of his unreleased music as part of the Slow Burn Sixth soundtrack, but still working on that.

But maybe you can use it for one year.

Country lyricist, Gary Patterson.

We didn't mention that last week.

Well, I mean, there was a lot to get to.

But yeah, man, Gary Patterson, big fan of Slow Burn, from what I understand.

Like I said, maybe we can put some of his music for your release of one year when it comes out in a couple of weeks.

That's one year, the podcast. With us from DC, Stefan Fatsis, author of the books, Word Freak,

a few seconds of Panic and Wild and Outside. What about your original music, Stefan?

Any possibility of using that?
