| 0:00.0 | The following podcast contains explicit language. |
| 0:09.0 | Hi, this is Josh Levine, and this is Slate's sports podcast Hang Up and Listen for the week of December 26, 2016. |
| 0:15.4 | On this week's show, we're bringing back some of our favorite guests for a special year-end edition. |
| 0:20.6 | First up, Rob Tanner of the Lester Mercury. |
| 0:23.3 | We'll join us to talk about his crazy year covering Lester City's amazing Premier League |
| 0:28.3 | triumph and what's happened since the club hoisted the trophy. |
| 0:32.8 | We'll then check in with Mina Kimes of ESPN. |
| 0:36.2 | We'll talk to her about her story on Martellis and Michael Bennett of the NFL. |
| 0:41.5 | And finally, we'll have another conversation with Anne Beatty, the widow of basketball |

| 1:36.4 | I can't believe Roger Goodell did that. |
| 1:39.3 | That's always a good thing to say. |
| 1:42.9 | So, yeah, we're recording this in advance. I don't think |
| 1:46.5 | there will be any issues except maybe with the Lester segment. Like, something could happen |
| 1:52.6 | between the time we're recording this in December 26th. So just be advised. Could they propel |
