Welcome to the prelaunch of The I-5 Corridor. Things officially get underway here on Aug. 23, but today we’re cracking open the door with the release of the new weekly I-5 Corridor podcast, co-hosted by Tyson Alger and Aidan Schneider.

Aidan is a former All-American. He’s kicked in the Rose Bowl, national championship game and got a cup of coffee during training camp with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Tyson has hosted a podcast before.

Join the two for their maiden drive through The Corridor, with a little Ohio State talk, fall camp stories and how Aidan transformed from a walk-on with a soccer background into one of the best kickers in Oregon history.

The I-5 Corridor podcast will publish a free episode every Monday, with bonus episodes throughout the month for paid subscribers to The I-5 Corridor.

Subscribers receive:

* Three to four premium stories a week mailed to your inbox — and hosted here on i-5corridor.com.

* A minimum of two bonus podcasts a month in addition to the weekly free episode.

We hope you enjoy this first episode, and we’ll hope to see you back next week for the official launch of The I-5 Corridor.
