Alabama podcasts

[bvandegraff]

Hi, everyone,

Living out here in New Mexico and having a pretty crazy work schedule, it's sometimes difficult to keep up with the latest on our beloved Crimson Tide. I've found podcasts to be a fun way to stay up to speed with the goings-on with the team and the perspectives around and about it (in addition, of course, to this forum). I'm curious to know if there are Bama podcasts y'all recommend. My current favorites are (in no particular order)

Alabama Football Podcast (game recaps from 2 knowledgeable and passionate fans)
Bama Beat (News UA sports podcast with Cecil, Tommy Deas and the gang)
Origins (the 3-episode arc about Nick Saban and Alabama with several full-length interviews)

The Bryant Museum had a good one for a while, but they stopped updating so I unsubscribed.

Hoping this thread might become a nice resource for curious souls like mine.

Moderators, feel free to move or delete if necessary.

In addition to the three you've mentioned, BAMS Radio is really good, and Roll Bama Roll has interviews that can be pretty informative.

Bama Beat... uh... can be good depending on who is hosting. There is a female host (i can't think of her name) that just feels completely out of place. Not because she is a woman, but because I don't think she understands the game of football enough to add anything but cringe-worthy comments and adds nothing but a distraction to the discussion.

I think Cecil can be insightful and I am less impressed with Tommy Deas. Those guys both have the voices of a whiskey-drowned old men who haven't put out a cigarette in decades. I used to think they kept them on separate shows to give the speakers in my headphones a break.

Frankly, most of the Alabama podcasts I've listened to have had impressively bad production value. I can't listen to something for 30-60 minutes where it seems like I'm listening in on a conference call where everyone has called in on their smartphone from a wind tunnel
