In the third episode of the 2025 season, 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. Whether you're a die-hard White Sox fan or not, there's something for everyone. So, sit back, relax, and grab your favorite beverage because the girls hit a home run conversing about all things baseball, including:
Family Ties Julie talked with the ladies about growing up as a Chicago-area native who spent her formative years in Mt. Prospect/Arlington Heights and how her early experiences with her dad and rooting for her hometown teams really helped her form a lifelong passion for sports.
Career Reflections Julie discussed her educational background, experiences, and how she landed her position at 670 The Score. She also described some of her professional highlights, including coverage of the GOAT Michael Jordan and South Side fan favorite Mark Buehrle.
2025 Season Expectations Julie shared her thoughts on what she's looking forward to the most in 2025 and whether or not Will Venable has what it takes to right the ship. She also bravely provided us with her overall team win/loss prediction for the year.
