Former NFL running back Leonard Fournette and wide receiver Jarvis Landry are bringing their longtime friendship and shared football experiences to the podcast space via The Volume. The former LSU Tigers football teammates announced a new show called 4th and South, which debuts today.
The program will feature the two former NFL standouts discussing their football journeys while also expanding the conversation beyond the field into the realities of life after the game. According to a release, the podcast aims to provide an authentic perspective on professional football, blending personal stories with broader discussions about culture, business, and personal growth.
Landry explained that the idea behind the podcast grew out of conversations the two frequently had about their careers and the many experiences that shaped them along the way.
“We lived so much of this game side by side,” Landry said. “From LSU to the NFL, there were moments that taught us a lot about the game and about ourselves. This podcast gives us the chance to sit down, talk honestly about that journey. Plus open a window into what life inside football really looks like.”
Landry and Fournette built their connection long before their professional careers began. They starred together at LSU before entering the NFL as high-profile prospects. Their new show with The Volume leans heavily on that shared history. Both players emphasize offering fans perspectives rarely heard outside locker rooms and team facilities.
“4th and South gives us the chance to dive into our lives beyond football. No subject is off-limits. We plan to discuss everything from fatherhood, mental health, fashion, and music, to the trials and tribulations that have shaped us as businessmen,” said Fournette. “We’re excited to talk about it all. Partnering with The Volume is a natural fit to grow this podcast and boost our voices in sports and beyond.”
Landry entered the league in 2014 and developed a reputation as one of the most dependable receivers of his era. During his career, he played for the Miami Dolphins, Cleveland Browns, and New Orleans Saints. He earned three Pro Bowl selections. He also led the NFL in receptions during the 2017 season.
Fournette followed a different path but enjoyed notable success of his own. The former first-round pick spent time with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Buffalo Bills. His most memorable moment came during the Buccaneers’ championship run, when he helped the franchise capture the title in Super Bowl LV.
The addition of 4th and South continues to expand The Volume’s growing slate of athlete-driven programming. The network’s lineup already includes the NBA-focused podcast Club 520 along with Show Me Something, hosted by Sophie Cunningham and West Wilson.
