It’s the dawn of a new era in Alabama Crimson Tide football history and everyday feels like uncharted territory.
AL.com is launching a new podcast to chronicle the Kalen DeBoer era while also reflecting on the Tide’s rich history. The series will also be the new home for Alabama radio legend, Eli Gold.
Launching July 23, “Beat Everyone” is a brand new podcast focused on the past, present and future of Alabama football. New episodes will be published every Tuesday and Thursday on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and all other major podcast platforms.
On Tuesdays, host Ben Flanagan, a lifelong Bama fan and Tuscaloosa native, will be joined by experts, former players, insiders and beat reporters to get answers to your most burning questions, as well as providing stories listeners may have never expected.
On Thursdays, the series will take listeners back to the Golden Age of Alabama football in an ongoing series of conversations with Eli Gold, Ben Flanagan, and AL.com college football columnist Michael Casagrande. The Voice of Alabama Football for nearly four decades, Gold joins the show each week for an exclusive series of interviews discussing his incredible career, including many never-before-told stories.
“Our new podcast is something that I think all Bama fans will love listening to. I’ve been blessed to be behind the microphone for 36 seasons of Crimson Tide football,” Gold said.
“This podcast, my first ever attempt at a podcast, will allow me to share tons of stories about our broadcasts and some of the most memorable moments in the history of the Tide. You’ll have a chance to call in with your questions, and then sit back and reminisce about some of the all-time great games that have made Alabama a household brand. Join us on Thursdays as I download my brain for this exciting new podcast.”
Listeners can call and leave a voicemail for Eli Gold and the team to respond to in future episodes at 205-523-4809.
While Beat Everyone will dive deep into the latest news and analysis, it’s so much more than a place to talk X’s and O’s. Ben and his guests will talk about the stories and people that make UA athletics one of the richest traditions in all of sports. From trivia and trash talk to unique stories never before told outside the locker room, Beat Everyone’s goal is to become nothing less than the best Alabama sports podcast. Period.
“Beat Everyone will be essential listening for all Alabama football fans. We will talk about what people care about most and tell the story of the Crimson Tide as it embarks on a new Golden Era under new coach Kalen DeBoer, inviting some of the best and brightest minds in sports media along with legendary former Bama football players,” Flanagan said.
“We’ll also have fun looking into Alabama’s incredible past so rich with a winning tradition thanks to Nick Saban, Bear Bryant and so many other icons who made it the best program in college football history. If you love the Crimson Tide, you won’t want to miss a single episode. We want to deliver fans the best Alabama football podcast of all time.”
