About this episode
On this episode of the White Sox Podcast, Chuck Garfien goes behind the scenes with Chris Withers, lead TV producer for White Sox broadcasts on CHSN, to unpack how Friday Night All-Access came to life. From its multi-year journey of rejections to becoming a fan-favorite feature, Withers shares how the show finally got green-lit, the massive team effort it takes to pull it off, and the unmatched player and front office buy-in it requires. They dive into the adrenaline of live TV, mic’d-up moments, clubhouse dynamics, and what’s next—including a Cribs-style bullpen tour. If you’ve ever wondered how the magic of baseball TV happens, this one’s for you.
