    Notre Dame Recruiting Extra - Irish Looking To Finish 2024 Strong, Make 2025 Even Better

    Notre Dame Recruiting Extra - Irish Looking To Finish 2024 Strong, Make 2025 Even Better

    The 2024 recruiting class for Notre Dame is nearly completed but there are still some key players, and positions, to keep an eye on. Ryan Roberts highlights a couple targets who visited for Ohio State and positions to keep a close eye on.
    Chicago, and the state of Illinois in general, are very important for Notre Dame recruiting in the 2025 class. The staff recently got a commitment from Elmhurst (Ill.) York defensive end Joseph Reiff, to finally get on the board. This will hopefully begin a string of success for the rest of the cycle in the area.

    Irish Breakdown previews this week's Notre Dame vs Duke football game.

We also discuss the Irish player we would have been talking about the most this week if Notre Dame had won, Marcus Freeman's learning curve, what we'll find out about the Irish in their game against Duke, how did the loss to Duke potentially change Notre Dame's approach to Duke, and thoughts on the Blue Devils' offense, led by Riley Leonard, and defense.

Byeeeeeeee for real ,

Never a post-game pod

ND grad here. There is NEVER an immediate post-game pod - audio or video - where fans (like me) can decompress after a horrible loss like this, or even a win. It’s your JOB to provide fans with your insight and reviews. Why take post-game time off? Because it’s a weekend? C’mon. This OSU loss is DEVASTATING and when will we get to hear what you guys think about the game including ONLY TEN MEN ON THE FIELD FOR THE FINAL TWO PLAYS??? we rely on you to help us make sense of things that don’t make sense. What doesn’t make sense to me is that football pods almost NEVER do an immediate post-game pod. Why is that?? Make sense and I’ll change the rating, because right now I’m mad at the world and you’re just the object my anger. lol 🤦🏻

Great Stuff

A daily listen for me. Go Irish!

Slitting Shows into Multiple Episodes

Love IB. Love IB Nation. Love the guys and their shows. Please recognize, I AM A HUGE FAN!

That said, this is a review page so I am offering my honest feedback on the podcast presentation, not the content.

HATE THE FEED!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am not sure if the decision was made to split an individual show into multiple smaller chunks for the podcast stream to make it easier to listen or to try to inflate stats of listeners or downloads. Either way, it is killing my feed.

I follow probably about 10 podcasts regularly using the Apple app. I’m not joking that right now there are exactly 18 shorter IB episodes at the top of my feed published in the last 2 days.

I know it’s Ohio State week, and you have a lot of content, but this is ridiculous. It’s not just this week either. 1 typical show is usually split into 3 shorter episodes almost daily.

Not only does this make it very difficult to follow my other podcasts, it also makes listening to IB very difficult.

The publication order is often out of sequence and I have to start multiple episodes to figure out the correct order. I struggle to always know which different shows are which.

I know I can limit downloads using the app, but then I miss shows or parts of shows. Like many, I cannot listen for 3 or more hours daily. So if I don't, and I limit downloads, I miss things when I try to catch up.

Heck, there was even a possible incorrect stream in the feed once this past week. Host I have never heard that didn’t introduce himself interviewing another person I didn’t know. Maybe that was bonus content. Maybe it was a mistake. Either way, really hard on a listener.

I am BEGGING the guys at IB to adjust their publication strategy and have mercy on this listener. 1 episode per show, clearly labeled and titled.
