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!

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!

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.

What’s it like to find out you inspired the likes of Kurt Cobain and Dave Grohl? Yes, that Kurt Cobain. Yes, that Dave Grohl. Nirvana. Foo Fighters. And an entire generation of punk rockers. This week, we’re joined by the legendary Peter Searcy. We trace his journey from the DIY punk roots of Squirrel Bait establishing the Louisville Scene in the 80s, through the alt-rock era of Big Wheel and Starbilly. Peter talks about working with Steve Albini and going into the studio to record with Homestead Records. Peter opens up about his transition to a solo artist, his current role behind the scenes with Yacht Rock Revue, and what fans can expect from his latest musical chapter: Guilty Birds.

In this episode of Southern Hang, we sit down with Louisville’s own AG Gibson, a standout midfielder for the University of Louisville Women’s Soccer team. AG takes us on a journey through her time in the 502, starting with her legendary career at Assumption High School. As a Rocket, AG was a force to be reckoned with, tallying 56 goals and 53 assists, earning Seventh Region Player of the Year honors twice, and becoming the only Kentuckian selected for the 2023 High School All-American Game.

The conversation dives deep into:

• What it was like to transition from high school and club soccer to competing at the college level.
• The surreal story of joining Racing Louisville FC in Colombia for The Women's Cup while still a senior in high school.
• A breakdown of what truly separates ACC and SEC soccer. AG discusses why the ACC is widely considered the premier conference for women's soccer, emphasizing the tactical "chess match" of the ACC versus the physical demands of the SEC.

And in true Southern Hang fashion, AG wraps things up by adding a few JAAMS to the Southern Hang Playlist.

Survive and Advance! In this week's episode, the fellas dive into the madness of March. We kick things off with a debate on the GOATs of the NCAA Tournament. We’re breaking down the legacies of icons who defined the Big Dance—from love to hate him Christian Laettner to the to the legendary run by Kemba Walker. Plus, we pay proper respect to local legend and University of Louisville hero Luke Hancock.

The conversation then shifts to how the game has changed with NIL and the transfer portal and how both UofL and UK's seasons were derailed by injuries.

To wrap things up, Neil adds a basketball-themed Jaam of the Week to the official Southern Hang Pod playlist.

The fellas break down this year’s ballot of 17 acts, featuring a massive wave of 10 first-time nominees and several returning finalists. The crew dives into the high-stakes(?) Fan Vote, discussing their personal favorites, like the soulful rock of The Black Crowes, the Mtv relevance of INXS, and the legendary business model of hip-hop legends the Wu-Tang Clan.

They wrap things up with some recommendations for next year's class to get some 90s Alternative flavor.

In this episode of Southern Hang, the fellas are joined by special guest and resident music aficionado Chris Stackowicz to celebrate the career of Austin, Texas, legends Spoon. Known for their uncanny consistency (yes Craig, this is true!) over a 30-year span, the band has evolved from '90s indie-rock underdogs to being one of the most respected stalwarts in the game (yes Craig, also true!).

The crew takes a chronological stroll through the band’s impressive catalog, tracing their evolution from post-punk origins to indie darlings to, put simply, one of the best Rock and Roll bands in music.

Neil and Chris then full-on nerd out by drafting their favorite Spoon songs from each era, debating the hits versus the deep cuts. And, before they go, you know they have to hit on that legendary Spoon/Wolf Parade side project, Divine Fits!

We hope you enjoy this one as much as the guys did.
