The following podcast includes explicit language, including, well, you'll just have to wait and see.

Hi, I'm Josh Levine and this is Hang Up and Listen for the Week of October 10th, 2023.

On this week's show, the Athletics Sabrina Merchant will be here to talk about the WNBA's

long-awaited super team finals match-up between the Las Vegas Aces and the New York Liberty.

Aaron Schatz of the FTN Network will also join us to talk about the New England Patriots'

awful start and whether Bill Bella checks job could actually be in jeopardy.

And finally, defectors Dave McKenna will join for a conversation about the famed open-water swimmer

Diana Nijad and the adversary committed to exposing her as a fraud.

I am in Washington, D.C., and I'm the author of The Queen and the host of the podcast one year are

full latest season. One year in 1955 is out now available for binging or just listening one at a time

at your leisure. So check it out. Also in D.C., it's Stefan Fatsis. He is the author of the book's

word freak a few seconds of panic and wild and outside. Do you binge Stefan? I go one at a time.

Though you have to go one at a time even if you're binging, you can't watch them all at the same time.

That would be very cacophonous, I think. When you watch TV, like two at a time, three at a time.

Two at a time. Yeah, and then I fall asleep. So yeah, two at a time.

All right. Take it from Stefan. Two at a time. Then fall asleep. In our bonus segment,

first slate plus members this week, Aaron Schatz of FTN Network is going to stick around.

And we will go from the Patriots to the 49ers. Talk about why the diners are so good and whether

their quarterback Brock Purdy is good. To hear that conversation, you have to be a slate plus member.

As a member, you get bonus segments on this and other slate shows. You get ad-free listening

for all slate podcasts and you get to support us. Slate.com slash hangup plus. To sign up
