Lyssin' Up Alyssa Bergamini

Believe it or not, the MLB season is here! So it's only fitting that the baseball queen,  Siera Santos, graces us with her presence on the "Lyssin' Up" Podcast! In this episode,  we discuss the inception of Siera's journey in sports broadcasting, our connection in Chicago, and what it was like covering her hometown team in the World Series last year for MLB Network.  And in the words of Wiz Khalifa, "Work Hard, Play Hard"... Siera gets it!

He's got charisma, he's got class, he's got pizzazz - it must be Joe Musso! Musso is a Chicagoland native (graduate of Fenwick High School, Illinois Wesleyan University and Northwestern's Medill School of Journalism) who continues to skyrocket in the sports broadcasting space.

Currently, an Anchor at CBS Sports HQ in Stamford, CT, no task is too big or too small for Joe; from covering the Nebraska Cornhuskers in Lincoln, Nebraska to hosting SuperBowl 58 coverage in front of the Bellagio fountains in Viva Las Vegas, Joe gives 110% and then some to each broadcast.

We touch on his rise to the national level, the importance of positive affirmations, and you bet we talked about his jaw-dropping wedding on Kevin Costner's ranch!

It's no surprise we talked for over an hour because that's what us Italians do best! (insert Italian hand gesture here) Lyssin' Up!

The Big Game is approaching (aka the Super Bowl), and when it comes to sports betting, football is king! Before bringing his talents to PointsBet as the Senior Player Development Manager for PointsBet, Teddy Greenstein was a sports columnist for The Chicago Tribune for over 24 years. Teddy interviewed the biggest stars in the league: Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, John Daly, just to name a few big wigs. 

In this episode, we tackle "Sports Betting 101", the importance of strong writing skills, and his book "Quarterback Dads" (which you can purchase through this link!) Lyssin' Up, ladies and gents!

The most iconic introduction in sports is the Chicago Bulls starting lineup. You can't argue with me on that one! How about being the guy who gets to announce the Bulls' starting five in front of a stacked crowd, game after game? Tim Sinclair's smooth & sultry voice booms across a multitude of sports' biggest stages. In our conversation, we touch on authenticity in your person and your voice, the benefits of being multi-faceted at your craft, and how to correctly pronounce Nikola Vučević! Lyssin' to Chicago's voice drop some serious knowledge! It's easy on the ears.

Everyone knows that Chicago is considered a "Bears town" - football is king.  My next guest is close to the Bears action 24/7. Whether reporting live on the sidelines at Soldier Field, covering press conferences at Halas Hall, or inside the boisterous Bears locker room, Mark Grote covers it all. We touch on first jobs in radio, the infamous "Double Doink" game, and predictions for the upcoming NFL Draft. Bear Down, and Lyssin' Up!

We are all familiar with our favorite team's mascot, but do you ever wonder about the person inside the playful, goofy suit? Well, I'll introduce you to a well-known figure(s) in the sports world! Carrie Norwood was the first female Herky the Hawk at The University of Iowa, and spent over a decade performing as Southpaw with the Chicago White Sox, amongst other positions. Carrie oozes confidence, charisma, and class. She is a prime example of how taking risks and shooting for the stars positively shapes the outcome of your life - both personally and professionally. If you're looking for an interview that makes you laugh, feel good, and want to push yourself further to be the best version of yourself - this episode is for you! Lyssin' Up...and Go Hawkeyes!
