Former Alabama stars team up with Chris Stewart for podcast: ‘It’s gonna be fun,’ says former QB
AJ McCarron, Chris Stewart and Trent Richardson are teaming up to talk football in a podcast, which debuts next week.
McCarron, the former Alabama quarterback, revealed the news at Regions Tradition Celebrity Pro-Am golf tournament at Greystone in Hoover.
“The Dynasty: A Podcast on the Alabama Crimson Tide,” a podcast from Sinclair’s AMP Media, will drop on May 28.
“At least I don’t have to hold back,” McCarron told reporters gathered at the event. “I don’t have any media people saying, ‘Hey, let’s not say this.’
“I’m excited. … It’s gonna be fun. Everyone knows me. I’m gonna be honest whether you want to hear it or not. Just the way it was brought up. It’s the way coach (Nick Saban) taught me in college.”
Stewart, the Voice of the Crimson Tide, confirmed the news to AL.com.
“I’m really excited about this,” Stewart told AL.com. “Obviously, I’ve known and worked with AJ and Trent since their playing days, and we’ve kept in touch since then. We will have a good time sharing stories of our past connections with the Tide, as well as thoughts on what’s happening now in Tuscaloosa.
“Plus, we will have some familiar names as guests, that should be a lot of fun, as well.”
