Hanging With was a fun Australian TV show for kids. It aired on the Disney Channel. The show started on July 15, 2013.

It was a short show that played between other programs. It was like a variety show, meaning it had many different parts. The hosts were the faces of Disney Channel in Australia. They shared news about Disney shows and interviewed celebrities. They also did funny skits, crafts, games, quizzes, and challenges. Sometimes, they even filmed stories outside the studio. The last hosts were Ashleigh Wells and Tim Matthews. Siena Elchaar, Joel Maguire, and Ella Victoria also helped out.

The show usually aired for about 36 weeks each year. It took breaks throughout the year. The very last episode was on September 20, 2019. This was before the Disney Channel closed down in 2020.
