I don’t know what I love most about this podcast…. Mike’s excellent analysis, Jess’ enthusiasm and general awesomeness (I’ve been a fan since I heard her on the original Nerdist podcast) or the love that they both give to Sonia Citron!!! (Current SB townie, but NYC born and raised reviewer here…) I already had a couple of solid journalist-y CFB and ND sports podcasts in my collection. In its first couple of months Echoes has already become my far and away favorite ND-fan-first-journalist-second podcasts, (sorry if that’s not what you guys are going for) As soon as one episode is done I immediately can’t wait for the next!!!! Please keep ‘em coming!! Final note: I’ve been listening to podcasts regularly since 2006! I am so enthusiastic about this podcast that this is the first review i’ve ever submitted to the Apple app! #MorePlease Go Soni C!!! Go Irish!!!
Not really an ND fan but nothing beats the combination of Jess and Golic. Have always enjoyed their ND conversations on other platforms but it’s amazing here. Funny, informative, entertaining. Great pod!!
I don’t know that my little ears have ever tingled with Irish Joy more than when this podcast was officially announced. My two absolute favorite Notre Dame sports personalities, coming together and commiserating with all of us all as we try to wade through this beautiful torture that is loving ND sports. It’s a beautiful well baked mixture of real time, mid game nervous breakdowns followed by a big bowl of mayonnaise on the side, all probably accompanied by a soundtrack by Taylor Swift. This podcast is what I need. Can’t wait to go on this crazy journey with you! Go Irish!! All the stars!!!
Always really enjoyed Jess and Mike discussing Notre Dame in other media so it’s great to see them combine for this weekly podcast. Some other ND pods are a little too into the nitty gritty details for my taste, so their work here is greatly appreciated! When both Jess and Mike were in Atlanta this past January for the national championship, got to meet both of them at the Shutdown Fullcast/Split Zone Duo live show. Mike held the door for my brother and Jess laughed at one of my jokes that there’s no way she could have heard. What more could one want in two ND fans?
