Hey, it's Bobby Bones. Join me and former NFL quarterback Matt Castle every Wednesday for our new

podcast, lots to say with Bobby Bones and Matt Castle. Between us, we have over 17,500 passing yards,

multiple New York Times bestsellers, and one mirror ball trophy from Dancing with a Star. So where else

you can find a show with that much athleticism and football insight? We talk sports, but we talk pop culture and music and a little bit of everything.

Listen to lots to say with Bobby Bones and Matt Castle on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
