In the second episode of the 2025 season, Sox Populi/South Side Sox writer and editor Kristina Airdo joins host Melissa Sage-Bollenbach and our special guest, Ashley Sanders. Ashley is currently a Live Designer on MLB The Show’s Live Team for Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE).

Melissa and Kristina talked to Ashley about her role with SIE, and of course, we did fit in some White Sox talk. So, whether you’re a die-hard White Sox fan or not, there’s something for everyone. We invite you to sit back, relax, and grab your favorite beverage because the girls hit a home run conversing about all things baseball and life, including:

Career Reflections: Ashley’s educational background and how she arrived in her position with MLB: The Show.

Game Content Creation: How long it takes to develop new editions of the game and some of her favorite elements, including the addition of Road to the Show: Women Pave Their Way and the Negro Leagues Edition.

White Sox Chatter: How she became a Sox fan, her favorite player, surviving 2024, and realistic expectations for this current roster.
