Latest Episodes:

Episode 13: Mix and Match Up (feat. Micah Shrewsberry, Bonzie Colson, Logan Imes, & Mike Farrelly) Dec 05, 2023

This week, Notre Dame Men's Basketball makes its second appearance of the season. Speaking of returns, And-1 Mix Tapes make a comeback in our conversation, proving that ankle-breakers are timeless and Hot Sauce doesn't just go on your plate. Oh, and hold onto your taste buds, because Coach Shrews drop some truth bombs about the elixir of life. Sometimes, true wisdom comes in the form of a perfectly carbonated slam dunk.

Episode 12: From Paris with Love (feat. Niele Ivey, Hannah Hidalgo, Kylee Watson, Dara Mabrey and Michaela Mabrey) Nov 28, 2023

After making history overseas, Notre Dame Women's Basketball is back in the 'Bend and has started off the season on a hot streak. Coach Niele Ivey joins us for her first episode on Wake Up the Echoes and, just like us, cannot wait to see what this exciting season holds for her team. So gather your green poms and glow sticks, Irish fans. It's officially basketball season.

Episode 11: Feast Mode (feat. Jerome Bettis, Marcus Freeman, Audric Estime, and Benjamin Morrison) Nov 21, 2023

It's Thanksgiving Week, and we're thankful for all you, our listeners. As a token of our gratitude, we've got a few heavy-hitters for you, including Notre Dame's own, Jerome Bettis. If you're finding the dinner conversation going stale this Thursday, we highly encourage you take a little bit of this week's episode with you to the table. It might end up being the best dish that gets served.

Episode 10: Shrews Crew (feat. Micah Shrewsberry, Markus Burton, Kyle Getter, and Eric Atkins) Nov 14, 2023

Feel that chill in the air? It's officially Hoops Szn (and 40 degrees in South Bend, IN). Head Men's Basketball Coach Micah Shrewsberry joins us for his first-ever episode of Wake Up the Echoes as we welcome him in his first year with Notre Dame. We've got nine episodes to get to know Coach and his squad this year, so pull up and take a seat. There's plenty of room to hitch a ride with the Shrews Crew, and we're already on board.

Episode 9: Apples and Oranges (feat. Marcus Freeman, Jack Swarbrick, Rico Flores, and Jadarian Price) Nov 07, 2023

We're almost finished with this year's football episodes (👋 hey there, basketball season), and we're looking ahead to the final home game of the season: Notre Dame Football Senior Day vs. Wake Forest. Notre Dame Athletic Director Jack Swarbrick joins the set and shares a few inside stories that took place during his impressive administration. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode.

Episode 8: Scary Good Defense (feat. Marcus Freeman, JD Bertrand, Jaden Mickey, Paul Burmeister) Oct 31, 2023

Happy Halloween, Irish Fans! What Notre Dame Legend are you dressing up as this year? We can't seem to pick one. (Paralyzed by choice rather than fear.) With this week's episode, we're glad to bring you all treats and no tricks, unless you count the fact that we didn't mention Halloween once in this episode. So feel free to share this episode with a friend... if you dare.

Episode 7: Bye Bye, Bye Week (feat. Justin Tuck, Marcus Freeman, Javontae Jean-Baptiste, & Xavier Watts) Oct 24, 2023

Did you get some rest this weekend? We didn't, but that's only because we're still hyped from last weekend's game. Whether you're a die-hard Notre Dame fan or you just turned on your first Fighting Irish game, if you watched Notre Dame Football's win over USC, we all can agree: X gon' give it to ya. And we'll keep giving you new episodes of fresh content each week. Either way you dice it, slice it (diagonally, if you're Coach Freeman), this episode is a must-listen for all Irish fans.

Episode 6: Milk and Kickers (feat. Marcus Freeman, Spencer Shrader, Michael Vinson, & Amir Carlisle) Oct 10, 2023

It's time to bounce back. This week's episode is all about blocking out the noise and focusing on the task at hand. Your task, Irish fans, is to bounce back with us. If you haven't heard, we're All Fight this year, and we'll keep fighting because it's what we do and who we are. Share this episode with someone who shares in the spirit of the Fighting Irish. Give a friend the nickname "Milk" until they earn their "cheese." Try to kick a 60-yard field goal. (Maybe only try the first suggestion.) Whatever you do, fight for the Irish this weekend. We'll be there right beside you.

Episode 5: 4th and 16 (feat. Marcus Freeman, Cam Hart, DJ Brown, and Ryan Harris) Oct 03, 2023

...and exhale. If you weren't holding your breath this weekend as the Fighting Irish converted on 4th and 16 with less than one minute to play against the Blue Devils, then you probably weren't watching the game. And you know what? That's alright with us. We welcome all kinds of Irish fans here on WUTE (Terrible acronym. Fantastic show. Trust us.). But don't worry, we're halfway through the regular season, which means there's plenty more Notre Dame Football to keep your heart pounding.

Episode 4: Answers vs. Solutions (feat. Marcus Freeman, Joe Alt, Zeke Correll, and Kathryn Tappen) Sep 26, 2023

"Good teams will look for answers. Great teams will come together to find solutions." The only remedy is to get back to work, Irish fans. Take this episode with your morning coffee or your lunchtime chili, pasta and cheese - there's no judgment here. All we ask is that you share this show with someone who should hear it. In return, we'll keep giving you the great content the best fans in the world deserve. On to the next one.

Episode 3: Go Irish and Wear Green (feat. Brady Quinn, Marcus Freeman, Jack Kiser, and Marist Liufau) Sep 19, 2023

It's Ohio State Week, and WE'RE FIRED UP! Whether you're watching this weekend's game from inside Notre Dame Stadium (please wear green), tuning in from your TV at home (feel free to also wear green), or cheering on the Irish from your Hawaiian beachside barbecue (we're green with envy), you're starting off your spirited week the right way with this episode. Feel free to follow it up with a volume-cranked fight song to really get in the mood, because we're all in this together. Go Irish!

Episode 2: Hotdogs and 80-Yard Touchdown Runs (feat. Marcus Freeman, Chris Tyree, Jaden Greathouse, and Jessica Smetana) Sep 12, 2023

This podcast is already 1% better than last week. (Don't tell Sam Hartman.)

Listen, we're not concerned about whether or not a hotdog is a sandwich. We just want to know if they cause 80-yard touchdown runs. The one thing we do know is that Coach Marcus Freeman might be throwing a party if there's ever a rain-delay at Notre Dame Stadium. If anyone knows how to score that invitation, we're all ears.

Oh, and can someone please fix Jess Smetana's mic stand?

Episode 1: Fishermen and Quarterbacks (feat. Marcus Freeman, Sam Hartman, and Mike Golic Jr.) Sep 05, 2023

Has Notre Dame Head Football Coach Marcus Freeman ever caught a fish? Will Quarterback Sam Hartman settle the legendary feud between North and South Dining Hall? How many walls will you want to run through after Mike Golic Jr. explains why "there’s no place like Notre Dame"? Only one way to find out. Watch the series premiere- the pilot, if you will- of Wake Up the Echoes.
