| 0:00.0 | The following podcast includes explicit language, including, well, you'll just have to wait and see. |
| 0:21.2 | Hi, I'm Josh Levine, Slates National Editor, and this is Hang Up and Listen for the week of February 27th, |
| 0:25.7 | 2023. On this week's show, Joseph Goodman of AL.com will be here to talk about the chaos and |
| 0:31.9 | scandal surrounding the Alabama basketball program, where one player has been charged with murder, |
| 0:37.3 | and another is still playing, despite allegedly bringing the murder weapon to the scene. |
| 0:42.5 | We'll also be joined by Jeremy Wu for a conversation about his sports illustrated cover story on |
