I have listened for years, please bring back Eric Hansen he is very missed only reason I would tune in daily. Darren is great as well directing the conversation of the show.
They need to get their stuff straight and bring back the best perspective for Notre Dame football.
Have been listing for years, but it is not the same now.
The show is not the same without Eric Hansen the true Notre Dame football insider.
I am sure I am not alone but I no longer listen.
I have emailed the station manager. It’s a budget issue.

I won’t listen until Eric is back. He is the only reason to listen.
I’ve been listening to this podcast for the past 9 years. During the Irish football season, there is no team better. Love the banter Eric and Darin (even when they disagree). Off season I don’t mind the talk about other ND sports or even local sports. I grew up in South Bend but haven’t lived there in years. Listening to these guys brings me back home. Thank you.
