Episode description
In this episode of "Lyssin' Up", Alyssa reconnects with Chris Ackels, who was her co-host at the Chicago White Sox from 2017-2021. If you've been to a Notre Dame football game over the past 2 seasons, you know his voice, but do you know his story? Chris is currently the PA Announcer for Notre Dame football, as well as the Special Assistant to the Chairman of the Hunt Sports Group (Kansas City Chiefs, FC Dallas). In this episode, Alyssa and Chris break down what it takes to be an in-game host, his audition for the ND position, and how showing off your true personality is always your best asset.
Spoiler: Chris is a Swiftie.
