Tricia Whitaker and Sydney Parrish sit down with one of the most respected and recognizable voices in baseball — Lauren Shehadi of MLB Network and TBS.
Lauren opens up about her start in broadcasting (including sending 100 VHS tapes to land her first job!), her most chaotic on-air moments, and the lessons she’s learned covering the MLB postseason and March Madness.
She shares behind-the-scenes stories from Philadelphia, her advice for young reporters, and the mindset that keeps her calm under pressure (“appear like a duck — calm on top, paddling like crazy underneath”).
