About The Alabama Take

What is your first thought when it comes to Alabama?

The writers and podcast producers for The Alabama Take love the South but will not fit into a stereotype or mold -- unless it is the stereotype of being nice. They are nice.

The Alabama Take on Instagram

  • Taking It Down is back with some TV recs and discussion. Y'all gotta get on 'Bad Monkey.' Plus, you'll love 'English Teacher' -- well, some of you will -- and Donovan can't hold his tongue on 'Rings of Power.' As always, no spoilers until later in the episode. Use the time stamps and chapters to get to what you need. #BadMonkey #doneuprealgood
  • Takin' On Sports bets that if you look hard enough in Florida, you may see a coach in trouble. It's September, but get the pink slips ready! Takin' On Sports has the #football for you and an odd Sunday in the NFL, too. #doneuprealgood
  • What our bettors really need to do is stop bleeding money! This is the week, though! They'll double down! It's #football, baby!
  • Author and editor Samantha Simmons returns with a moment of crisis and reflection: when it comes to Alabama and Auburn, is she a fan of both? It's time to decide. Read it on The Alabama Take today.
  • Oh no. Some college #football teams are already in trouble with only two weeks into the season. Plus, the NFL kicked off. TD and Greg have breakdowns of all of that and more this week on Takin' On Sports. #TheAlabamaTake #doneuprealgood
  • Author Lauren Beck reaches her Jordan year. What does one do after a year of challenges? #TheAlabamaTake #doneuprealgood
