Now that all the gifts are open. Santa slid down the chimney, and you've had another Christmas cookie. It's time to unwrap another episode of In The Circle. Today, we traveled to Tempe, where temperatures were much warmer than we were for the holidays. Eric Lopez caught up with Arizona State Head Coach Megan Bartlett about becoming the Sun Devils' new coach. Bartlett discusses her time at Texas, making the WCWS, and learning from Mike White.

Victor Anderson returns with his annual Softball Festivus Grievance and strong message for schools that don't have dedicated radio broadcasts. We wrap up the show with Part One of our Year in Review. Justin McLeod of Extra Innings Softball joins Eric to look at the top coaching hires and moves in 2022.
