Conner Smith is back—and just in time for the release of his brand-new song, "Ballgame on the Radio." ⚾

Ahead of the song's release, Conner caught up with Kasey to talk about his longtime connection to St. Louis, why he's proudly a Cardinals fan, and how the team became part of the launch of his newest song.

Kasey and Conner look back on the first time they met when he played St. Louis in 2021. A lot has changed since then- Conner is now married and preparing to welcome his first child, and he opens up about the excitement, nerves, and why he believes you'll never truly be ready to become a parent—but that's part of the adventure.
