  • Nice Addition

    Drew’s interviews are nice addition to the show. I really enjoyed hearing from Frank Pomarico, and the Ivan Maisel episode was also excellent. Looking forward to more.

  • Basketball

    Can we please for the love of god stop talking about basketball. I get it you’re trying to fill time but I’d rather have the podcast be 10 minutes shorter than listen to basketball talk. If you have to continue talking about basketball, at least put it in the end and warn us so we can swipe out.

  • Best ND coverage around

    Priester, Sampson and O’mally are tops when it comes to ND football coverage. Look forward to this podcast weekly. Had to come back to add John Bryce to that list. A+++

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tracking the Trail: Post-Fall Camp Notre Dame Recruiting Mailbag
Q: Which positions do you think Notre Dame could be better at in 2028 class that especially compared to the 2027 class?
They should focus on linebacker and tight end as the priority upgrade areas for 2028, with strong competition at quarterback; the 27 class has strong lines, so the 2028 class should aim to add more depth and athletic versatility at those key spots.
Irish Illustrated Interviews: Isaiah Dunn, Former Notre Dame Cornerback
Q: What were you doing while you were on the team to prepare for a broadcasting career, and how did you start getting into media while still in college?
He explains starting a podcast in freshman year, building a broadcasting reel through NDTV and ESPN internship experiences, and gradually shifting toward on-camera work with Wake Up the Echoes and later NDTV after football ended, highlighting storytelling as his true passion.
Tracking the Trail: 2028 Notre Dame Quarterback Updates, Recruiting Down Memory Lane
Q: What does the 2028 quarterback board look like for Notre Dame and are there any potential flips to watch?
The panel highlights multiple targets, with two names standing out as credible pivots for Notre Dame if offered; they stress that the quarterback race is fluid and contingent on in-person evaluations and campus visits, with several SEC and ACC programs also in the mix.
Irish Illustrated Interviews: James Rendell, Notre Dame’s Former Australian Punter
Q: You mentioned the NCAA decision on your eligibility; what was that experience like and how did it shape your mindset going into the next season?
Rendell discusses being granted two years and then facing a denial for a waiver to return for another year; despite the disappointment, he emphasizes gratitude for the two years, the lessons learned, and the importance of focusing on the present and continuing to compete at a high level.
Irish Illustrated Interviews: James Rendell, Notre Dame’s Former Australian Punter
Q: What was it like adjusting to the college game and practice structure when you first arrived?
The practice structure was highly organized, with precise routines and tempo; Rendell describes learning the terminology, the pace, and the emphasis on training days, which helped him adapt from AFL to punting in college football.
