Last year has by far been the least I’ve ever followed the team due to a combo of their play and personal issues. This is my first return to any Sox podcast for about 9-10 months. I wouldn’t kick it off with any other show to get caught up on the Good, Bad and Ugly than Sox Machine!

Update Jan 2026: After a 2-3 year hiatus, the Aox have me a little excited again and so…I’m back! First Sox pod I resubscribed to…Sox Machine!
Jim, Josh and James have a good balance of takes for White Sox fans. My sense is that Josh is generally more optimistic, Jim is the straight man, and James is a bit of a cynic (in a good way). I like that James is a legit beat writer who is around the clubhouse and occasionally goes on the road with the team. It’s good to get an inside perspective on things that is from a more neutral source than the “official” podcast or Merkin.
My go to pod for White Sox coverage.
Josh Jim and James do the impossible - they make me want to hear about the White Sox. They even manage to keep relatively sanguine about this horror show in the process. James’ deep analysis delivered with tongue in cheek black humor has been a fortuitous addition. Lots of content and plenty of rueful humor.
Writing this to try and support this podcast. A group of people who love the White Sox and who want to see them be great. They provide great insight and reliable news for the Sox.
