We are thrilled to announce the 2025 schedule for our groundbreaking podcast network, a platform designed to amplify diverse voices and foster meaningful conversations across all levels of softball. In a world where unity and community are more crucial than ever, we recognize the power of a united team.

Gray Robertson will once again serve as Podcast Director guiding the team on a national level. Robertson is entering his ninth season broadcasting Alabama softball on the Crimson Tide Sports Network as an analyst and his seventh year calling softball on SECNetwork+ as a play-by-play announcer. Alongside his radio partner Tom Canterbury, Robertson has also hosted the Out of the Box podcast since 2019, discussing softball stories with some of the biggest media voices and coaching names in the sport. This season, Out of the Box officially joins the podcast network alongside several returning shows and a few new in-season offerings.

“After the rousing success of last season, I’m thrilled that we can continue the growth of this amazing podcast network on Softball America,” Robertson said. “With personalities who’ve covered and experienced the games at all levels, the perspective listeners will gain through our shows are second to none. Most importantly, this team is filled with people who care about the health of this sport that we adore and want to see grow to new heights.
