Episode No. 28 of the Irish Illustrated Interviews podcast series is hosted by Drew Mentock and features a conversation with Tim Prister, owner and publisher of Irish Illustrated. He’s in the midst of covering his 45th season of Notre Dame football, a career that spans seven different head coaches and countless industry changes, both locally and nationally. Our conversation dives into his earliest memories of Notre Dame as someone who grew up in the South Bend area, played for the Fighting Irish baseball team, and how his journalism career got its start. We also discuss the early days on the beat, covering Lou Holtz, the technological difficulties of covering college football in the 1980s, joining Irish Illustrated, writing two books on Notre Dame football and more.
