Scottsdale’s Sports Will Save Us All podcast will have a special focus on America’s favorite pastime this August with fascinating interviews from the world of baseball.

Available on all of the major platforms , Sports Will Save Us All explores the blood, sweat, and tears we give to our sports and all of the things our sports give us back, according to a press release. In a warm, engaging, conversational format, host Sasha Graham and her guests talk about sports, life, and the incredible ways they intersect. New episodes publish every Tuesday.
