In this week’s episode of Slate’s sports podcast Hang Up and Listen, Joel Anderson, Stefan Fatsis, and Josh Levin assess the final two episodes of the documentary The Last Dance and review the series as a whole. They’re also joined by broadcaster Ian Eagle for a conversation about the challenge of calling games remotely. Finally, they talk about a new NFL proposal that would give teams better draft picks if they hired minority head coaches and general managers.
