Rated #1 in the class of 2021 by ESPN, Fudd has already shown the world what she is capable of, while also being an asset to the USA youth teams. Fudd is all set to sprinkle her stardust now in the world of podcasting.
Steph Curry will be listening to what Azzi Fudd has to say
Azzi Fudd announced her new podcast on Friday called 'Fudd Around and Find Out' which will be co-produced by Steph Curry and Erick Peyton.
This was the latest addition to a growing list of women podcasters under iHeart Women's Sports, which recently marked its one-year anniversary. The UConn superstar is all set to let the fans sneak a peek into the gruelling journey which she has undertaken over the years.
iHeart released a statement announcing the introduction of the podcast, underscoring that it will shed light on Fudd's incredible journey to date.
Fudd herself was part of the introduction, revealing the topics she will discuss. However, much to her surprise, Steph Curry gave her a shoutout, which could prove to be a massive catalyst for her podcasting journey.
Hyping up the introduction, the Golden State Warriors point guard, Steph Curry, took to Instagram. He posted a story, sharing the introductory post, adding a caption which said, 'New podcast @azzi35 Best believe I'll be listening! Check it out, 8/7'.

While appearing on the introduction, Fudd said, 'This podcast is a space where I can bring my full self—athlete, storyteller, budding entrepreneur and fan of the game—and highlight the voices that deserve to be heard. Whether we're talking hoops, culture, business or life beyond the court, I want every episode to feel real and empowering.'
Curry and Peyton further added that Azzi Fudd has always been a charismatic personality and all the hard work that she has put in, deserves to see the light of the day.
Both Curry and Peyton said that Fudd had the 'charisma, authenticity and fearless spirit' to motivate people, particularly all those women who nurture a dream.
Azzi Fudd and Steph Curry go a long way back
Fudd and Curry don't share a newfound friendship. It all started back in 2018 when then 15-year-old Fudd joined Curry's basketball camp called the SC30 in Oakland. However, things didn't really go smoothly for Fudd as the following year saw her suffering a torn ACL and an MCL in her right knee.
Despite her injuries, she ensured the fact that she continued taking part in the camp, a bold move which actually did pay handsome dividends.
Curry always supported Fudd, with one of his biggest moves being him wearing Fudd's UConn jersey to a post-game interview on the occasion of the latter turning 20. It was a game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, where Steph dropped 40 points, almost single-handedly propelling his team to a staggering win.
Curry said in that post-match interview, 'Wanted to shout her out. Basketball is basketball, and continuing to do our part to shine a light and celebrate those women who are doing amazing things on the court."
With the latest podcast all set to be launched, the Fudd-Curry friendship will find a new dimension. Curry has always been appreciative of what Fudd has done in her NCAA career and now the entire world will get to know it firsthand.
