Disclosure in Podcast Description: A Bond Account is a self-directed brokerage account with Public Investing, member FINRA/SIPC. Deposits into this account are used to purchase 10 investment-grade and high-yield bonds. As of 9/26/24, the average, annualized yield to worst (YTW) across the Bond Account is greater than 6%. A bond’s yield is a function of its market price, which can fluctuate; therefore, a bond’s YTW is not “locked in” until the bond is purchased, and your yield at time of purchase may be different from the yield shown here. The “locked in” YTW is not guaranteed; you may receive less than the YTW of the bonds in the Bond Account if you sell any of the bonds before maturity or if the issuer defaults on the bond. Public Investing charges a markup on each bond trade. See our Fee Schedule. Bond Accounts are not recommendations of individual bonds or default allocations. The bonds in the Bond Account have not been selected based on your needs or risk profile. See https://public.com/disclosures/bond-account to learn more. Learn more about your ad choices.

You’ll also hear from Fox’s biggest antagonists—the political operatives, journalists, and comedians who attacked it, investigated it, and tried to mock it into submission. And you’ll hear from Fox’s victims, who are still coming to terms with how a cable news channel upended their lives. Want more Slow Burn?

Great new hosts

Mitchell Greenberg

I have listened to this show for over 10 years and was planning to stop after the change in hosts. However, I have changed my mind and so glad i did. Alex, Lindsay, and Ben, although bringing a different energy and perspective from the old crew, are not inferior in the least. They are insightful, curious, and have a great rhythm which makes listening very enjoyable. I will continue to listen for another 10 years if these are the hosts.

I’ve listened to this show since the beginning, and it’s basically the only thing I pay attention to from Slate now. Well, now I just won’t pay attention to anything from Slate. The corporate overlords did this crew wrong. I encourage people to listen to the archive, because this was probably the best sports podcast on the planet, and it was killed. RIP Hang Up, you were awesome.
Without Joel, I’m out

Without Joel, I am unsubscribing from Slate catch up pod. How unprofessional to not even inform the audience.
Always Enjoy
