Continuing our 600th podcast celebration, Brett Ballantini had the Sharing Sox duo of Leigh and Will Allan on, for the very first time together, the mothership. We attempted to make zero references to the 2025 White Sox, but failed.

To commemorate the 600th Sox Populi Podcast, we had podcasting mainstays Chrystal O'Keefe (Visiting Dugout, Soxy Chicks, Estrogen Power Hour, et. al), Joe Resis (Sox Pop on the Farm) and Melissa Sage-Bollenbach (Ladies' Night) on to discuss the past four-five years of podcasting at Sox Populi and South Side Sox.

Somehow it's been more than 10 months since our last Farm podcast, so we returned with authority — namely, three authorities (Joe Resis, Kristina Airdo, Hannah Filippo) and a host (Brett Ballantini). We spent an hour covering each affiliate ... yes, even the Winston-Salem Dash.

Friend of the pod Kevin O'Brien is back to talk to Chrystal about a division rival -- the Kansas City Royals.

And other come what May observations

Chrystal hosted fantasy baseball expert Anthony to chat about the Houston Astros and what to expect from the upcoming series. 

Melissa Sage-Bollenbach and Kristina Airdo talk with Chrystal O'Keefe about baseball, the White Sox's 2025 season, and Chrystal's journey as a writer and podcaster. Whether you're a dedicated fan or just curious, tune in for career reflections and South Side insights.

Chrystal O'Keefe hosted the incomparable Jordan White to provide an update on the Brewers and help break down the upcoming homestand.

The Chicago White Sox wrapped up a series in Sacramento by falling from ahead and losing a series with an extra-inning loss — a loss that put them at THE EXACT SAME RECORD PACE AS 2024. Seems a good time to sit down, as Brett Ballantini did with Hannah Filippo, and wonder what in the world we are doing following this team.

Bayleigh and Chrystal are back to chat about what's going on in Major League Baseball at the moment.

This episode of Ladies' Night features Melissa Sage-Bollenbach, Allie Wesel, and Jacki Krestel discussing the White Sox's current state, family sports ties, and content creation challenges. Tune in for insightful discussion and Jacki's good vibes!

In a sillier episode that is a bit different from the usual series preview, Chrystal and Ed talked about what happened last week in Chicago and what the next laundry series will look like.

But first, a look at the bright side

Die-hard Athletics fan and friend of the podcast Aaron Cameron joined to discuss the Athletics' recent developments, both good and bad.

With the White Sox tumbling from first place (OK, they were 2-4, and they were tied for last place at the same time) to last, it was time for Brett Ballantini to assemble Chrystal O'Keefe, Joe Resis and Hannah Filippo to discuss the state of the team.

The first laundry series of the season is ahead as the White Sox host the Red Sox in Chicago.

Sox Populi podcaster Delia Ritchie joins host Melissa Sage-Bollenbach and guest Julie Swieca Gannon to discuss several topics related to our beloved — or despised, depending on the day — South Siders.

Imari is back this season to discuss Cleveland's home opener and the series with the White Sox.

Bayleigh and Chrystal chat about what's been happening in Major League Baseball since Opening Day.

Walker is back this season to discuss the Tigers and explain what the series might look like.

Is that title a gag? No, actually, the White Sox have spent all but one day of this season in first place, including at the moment this podcast was recorded and published. Sure, the team has lost both of its series this season and sits 2-4, but so what? A five-way tie for first in a terrible AL Central still counts as first!

Kristina Airdo, Melissa Sage-Bollenbach, & MLB The Show's Ashley Sanders discuss career paths, game development, & White Sox fandom.

Jackson Nelson joined the podcast to chat about the White Sox hosting the Twins for the season's second series.

Just like we wrote it up, the White Sox romped over the Angels on Opening Day, 8-1, so naturally Brett Ballantini gathered some of his closest pals (Melissa Sage-Bollenbach, Brian O'Neill and Joe Resis) to comb back over every luscious detail of a shocking start to the 2025 season.

To get you hyped for Chicago White Sox 2025 baseball and specifically this Opening Day, Brett Ballantini brought in Chrystal O'Keefe, Joe Resis and Hannah Filippo for thoughts on Thursday, the weekend series, and the season itself.
