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. Still, this is mostly contemporary White Sox-free.

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.

Recording on the day after Luis Robert Jr. stole a grand slam and then knocked in four runs himself, Leigh Allan and his son, Will, call for the White Sox to trade Luis before another game is played.

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.
