Oklahoma Today Podcast: June 3, 2024

2 minutes

The ding of the bat. The chants from the dugout. The thud of a fastball against the catcher's mitt. There is nothing like a ballgame at the Women's College World Series. It is no secret that the state of Oklahoma loves its softball, and the fact that USA Softball and their Hall of Fame Museum are based in Oklahoma City certainly has something to do with it. The sport is already widely popular, but does it still have some room to grow? USA Softball CEO Craig Cress is the perfect person to answer that question, and he is today's guest for the Oklahoma Today Podcast. Before you take in the rest of the action of this year's World Series, hear what Cress thinks is in store for the sport. 

Also on this week's show, the editors discuss their favorite memories from childhood summer vacations, and podvents sees Karlie put a special twist on an ice cream rap. You won't want to miss it!

The Oklahoma Today Podcast is sponsored by Bravado Wireless.
