Award-winning author
James Andrew Miller, in partnership with Cadence13, announced the upcoming release of three chapters of the podcast series,
Origins. And Alabama head coach
Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide football team will be the subject of the first chapter.
Chapter 3 of the podcast series, which will premiere Aug. 8, will be titled
Origins of a Champion: Nick Saban and Alabama’s Crimson Tide, and in it, Miller will attempt to answer the question, “Why have
Nick Saban and his Alabama football team been so successful?”
The podcast will feature interviews with Saban, his wife
Terry Saban, longtime Crimson Tide strength and conditioning coach
Scott Cochran, former New York Yankees manager
Joe Girardi, former Alabama offensive coordinator and current head coach at Florida Atlantic
Lane Kiffin, former Tide players
Barrett Jones and
Greg McElroy and ESPN reporter
Tom Rinaldi.
“We see Origins as a big buffet table of our culture, with particular emphasis on television, sports, movies, music and other elements I’ve reported on or simply love,” Miller said in a release. “These three upcoming chapters of
Origins reflect our commitment to entertain listeners and provide new insights from the most essential individuals involved.”
Chapter 4 will go behind the scenes of
Saturday Night Live “to reveal preparations for Season 44, including interviews with legendary producer
Lorne Michaels, various cast members and key personnel sharing stories and insights,” while Chapter 5 will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the HBO series
Sex and the City by “going back to the show’s beginnings” with the cast.
“Following the enthusiastic response to the first two chapters of
Origins on
Curb Your Enthusiasm and ESPN, we’re very excited to take this series to the next level with three strong and surprising new stories,” said Chris Corcoran, Cadence13’s chief content officer, in a release. “
Origins has been a perfect programming model for an audience that loves to learn and be entertained at the same time.”
