What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I love IB and appreciate the amount of show you guys do everyday. I don’t think people appreciate how much more you guys have everyday compared to really any podcast where most are doing one show a week. Also love how Bryan, Sean, Vince, Jesse, and Ryan all bring different strengths and insights to their shows!

Big Fan Stan · Jun 2024

This is the go-to channel for Notre Dame Fighting Irish football podcasts. Daily info. Daily analysis. Daily commentary. Daily everything ND football. Plenty of staff perspectives that prevent single-minded analysis.

imroc · May 2024

The IB guys bring a tremendous amount of coverage with great insight. They are clearly connected to the program and recruits and have a good understanding of the game and break things down well. Thanks IB!

IrishLegendJoeMontegna · Jan 2024

Been following ND football deeply for decades , this us by far the best, most insightful on the ND beat. Only one(other than Prister)that really knows player evaluation. Good recruiting coverage also. Some of these other Reviews are so stupid, they’re not worth paying attention to. If you’re a smart football fan that’s interested in learning about ND, this is easily the best

CPT Stubing · Jan 2024

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.

IrishCVG · Sep 2023

Too many “episodes” per day. I’ve seen as many as 14 in one day in the offseason. Too many adds. Too long winded. Too sensitive (Bryan) to anything close to a critique on him. Too redundant, they say the same thing 1000 times between all the hosts and call it “content”. The sad thing is, the actual analysis is very good. I just can’t listen 3+ hours a day to hear 20 minutes of actual content.
