Hi, this is Josh Levine, and this is Slate's sports podcast Hang Up and Listen for the week of July 17th, 2017.

On this week's show, we'll be joined by ESPN's Howard Bryant to discuss Roger Federer's

eighth Wimbledon title, as well as Venus Williams' near-miss at the All-England Club.

Sam Miller of ESPN will also be here to assess the record-setting baseball-mashing prowess of

rookies, Cody Bellinger of the Los Angeles Dodgers, and Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees and Rose

Eveleth of ESPN's shiny new 30 for 30 podcast series will come on the show to talk about

women walking to the North Pole and a multi-million dollar Baccarat heist. You might wonder why

everyone on this week show is from ESPN. The answer is I have no idea, but maybe I work for ESPN now. I don't know. If I start getting checks from Bristol, I'll let you know.

We ultimate frisbee players noted that every time he would make that joke.

And what a joke it was.

I feel very relaxed, Jody, because having another experienced podcast host here, if I lose

consciousness, I know that the show will continue with no interruptions, but just please, if I do lose

consciousness, do not eat my carcass or anything.

Just let me rest peacefully.

I will keep things going as you lie serenely in the corner.

On Sunday afternoon in England, Roger Federer beat Marin Chillich 63614 to win his all-time record

eighth Wimbledon men's singles title and 19th Grand Slam overall, extending his lead to four

over Rafael Nadal, who just won his 15th at the French Open.

Serena Williams, by the way, has 23.

The almost 36-year-old Federer who beat Nadal in five sets to win the Australian Open earlier this year is now the
