Sara Sanchez from Bleed Cubbie Blue joined to chat about the upcoming Crosstown series and what’s going on over on the North Side.

Is it sheer coincidence that with a White Sox fan in charge of things in the Vatican the team won three out of four prior to this recording?

This week on the podcast, Melissa Sage-Bollenbach and Allie Wesel welcome Courtney Finnicum for a lively discussion covering Courtney’s journey in sports media, her podcast “Pitch and Moan” (including a hint about a special guest!), and her unwavering White Sox fandom and expectations for the season.

Wick Terrell, editor of Red Reporter, is back to talk about a rarely played opponent: the Cincinnati Reds.

White Sox fans and sports enthusiasts, join Melissa Sage-Bollenbach and Hannah Flippo as they discuss Edgar Quero, Chase Meidroth, trade rumors, division rivals, and the latest buzz around the South Siders.

The incomparable Chris Towers joined the podcast to give an update on the Marlins, break down the series, and make jokes about being old.

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.
