Hang Up

Caitlin Pierce

Love reality dating shows but tired of the obsession with marriage? Welcome to Hang Up, a reality dating show with no rings attached.

In each season, one person is matched with six prospective love interests. They go on dates over the phone and never see each other. After the dates, the Star chooses one person to “hang up” on and eliminate from the show.

And there’s a twist— in the end, the winning caller makes their own choice: to either choose the Star back and take an all-expenses-paid vacation together or hang up on the Star and take a cash prize instead.

We've got a very special true love story for you from special guest Nichole Hill, creator of the new podcast Our Ancestors Were Messy.

Nichole joins Hang Up's Caitlin Pierce and Kim Bryan ("Sasha") to take us back to the Wild West for a tale of heartbreak, disgusting miners camps, the origins of hanky code, and murder! And you already know... in the end, there's a twist.

Our Ancestors Were Messy is a podcast covering the gossip, scandals, and pop culture that made headlines in the Black newspapers of segregated communities during the pre-Civil Rights era. On each episode, host Nichole Hill and her guests follow the story of an ancestor who went searching for opportunity, adventure, liberation, and love and made a mess - and eventually history - along the way.
