About this listen

Southern Hang is a podcast rooted in Kentucky and fueled by conversation. Hosted by four lifelong friends—all raised in Kentucky and proud alumni of the University of Louisville—the show blends a Southern perspective with real, unfiltered takes on life. We talk sports, music, fatherhood, culture, and whatever else pops into our heads, always with humor, honesty, and a little edge.


From in-depth interviews with musicians, athletes, and local celebrities to laid-back conversations about family, growing up Southern, and navigating adulthood, Southern Hang feels like pulling up a chair and joining the conversation. Whether you’re a sports fan, music lover, Kentucky native, or just someone who enjoys authentic storytelling and great banter, this podcast delivers relatable discussions with a distinctly Southern hang.

  • May the 4th Be With You: The Star Wars Mega-Episode (feat. Jamie Kneisler)
    May 4 2026

    In honor of a May the 4th episode drop date, the fellas are headed to a galaxy far, far away. This week, we’re diving deep into the Skywalker Saga and beyond—covering everything from the nostalgia (and toys!) of the Original Trilogy to the much maligned Prequels.

    But we aren’t stopping at the movies. We’re breaking down the heart and soul of the franchise found in The Clone Wars and Rebels, discussing how these stories shaped the Star Wars we know today. To make sure we don't get our parsecs mixed up, we’re joined by our resident Jedi Master and Star Wars expert, Jamie Kneisler, who helps us navigate the lore of the galaxy.

    Whether you're a scruffy-looking nerf herder or a high-ranking Imperial, this is one hang you won’t want to miss. May the Force be with you!

  • Kentucky Derby Winning Trainer Kenny McPeek
    Apr 27 2026

    It’s Derby Week in Southern Hang country! The fellas are joined by legendary trainer Kenny McPeek, fresh off his historic 2024 Oaks/Derby sweep.

    Kenny shares his journey from the University of Kentucky to the winner's circle and pulls back the curtain on the "big board" he uses to manage his elite stable. We also dive into his love for music—specifically his friendship with JJ Grey, meeting at Bourbon & Beyond, and the success of the horse named in his honor.

    To wrap it up, we take a tour of the Churchill Downs backside to meet his latest contender, Right to Party, hanging out in the stall of Derby winner Mystic Dan. Plus: are we actually manifesting a Beastie Boys cameo for the Derby Day walkover? Tune in to find out!

  • #SawItLive and the Magic of Live Music
    Apr 20 2026

    This week, the Southern Hang fellas dive deep into the #SawItLive trend taking over social media to revisit the most electric concert memories of their lives. Who provided the best first concert experience? The Boss? Willie? Poison?

    From the core memory of that very first show to the raw energy of intimate solo sets, rowdy festivals, and sold-out arenas—we’re covering it all. From the Louisville Palace to the farm at Bonnaroo, we discuss why there’s simply no substitute for the magic of live music and how a single Lollapalooza performance can stick with you forever. So, hold up those lighters (or is it cell phone flashlights now?!) and join the fellas for a trip down live music memory lane.
