Hide your children.

Hi, I'm Josh Levine, Slate's National Editor, and this is Hang Up and Listen for the week of April 5th, 2022.

On this week's show, we're going to talk about Kansas' historic comeback win over North Carolina and college basketball's men's title game.

The athletic, Chantelle Jennings, will also join us to talk about South Carolina's big win over

Yukon in the women's tournament. And finally, we'll talk about Eric Church's decision to cancel a sold-out

concert to go to the final four. And win watching sports trumps social obligation. I am in

Washington, D.C., and I'm the author of the Queen and the host of the podcast one year, also in D.C., where we are recording this after midnight because we care.

It's Stefan Fatsas. He is the author of Word Freak, A Few Seconds of Panic and Wild and Outside.

Hello, Stefan. Hello, Josh. How's it going?

I'm awake.

I'm awake. I'm awake.

With us from Palo Alto, California, taking advantage of the Pacific Times End.

It's Joel Anderson. He's the host of Slow Burn Season 3 on Biggie and Tupac and season

six on the L.A. riots.

Are you enjoying your West Coast privilege, Joel?

Well, I mean, I'm a little jealous that you all in the future.

It's Tuesday out there.

Still Monday here.

We're living in the past.

Only so much hope I can have.

Is Kansas still the champion in Tuesday?
