Ladies' Night 19 — Midseason Check-in with Julie Swieca-Gannon — 2025-06-26

Sox Populi - A Chicago White Sox podcast

The 11th episode of the 2025 season features host Melissa Sage-Bollenbach and guest Julie Swieca-Gannon. We're really grateful to Julie for agreeing to come back midway through the season to continue sharing her journey with us and discussing 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:

Career Reflections Julie discussed some of her on-the-air experiences, including one that got a bit scary, as well as some of her professional highlights, including covering the Sammy Sosa and Mark McGuire home run chase. She recently saw Sammy at an event! Did he recognize her? Tune in to find out!

2025 Season Expectations Julie shared her thoughts on the White Sox organization's current state and how soon she thinks the team will be competitive again. We promise not to hold her accountable.
