To kick off the season's third episode, Nkwa talked about the MLB relocation drama in Oakland (1:08) and reflects on what he's learned about Juneteenth (23:30). ESPN's Skubie Mageza pulled up to #TheCrossover (9:15) to talk about his journey to Bristol...and his favorite music to get his going before he goes on-air.

To wrap up Season 2, NBA reporter and podcast host Brandon "Scoop B" Robinson joined the show to talk about his start in the business and...what exactly is going to happen in NBA free agency. *wink-wink*

"The title 'life coach' is awful, and everyone knows it." Spoken like someone who truly owns the role. Amy Tietjen joins this week's episode to talk about dealing with pressure, the beauty of stillness...and yet another reason why cheerleading is a sport. 

Digging into the vault this week, Philadelphia-based podcast host Zach Simon took a trip earlier this month to talk about some former MVP that signed a big contract. (And no, not the one in Los Angeles.)

Brooklyn-based artist and actress Alyssa Burgos joins the show to talk about balancing professional aspirations, being your own best friend, and growing up around the beautiful game of baseball - without having to pick a side. (Still wondering how that happened.)
