What this episode covers
Episode No. 14 of the Irish Illustrated Interviews podcast series features Patrick Creadon, a 1989 University of Notre Dame graduate and award-winning documentary filmmaker, whom Irish fans likely know for his work directing "Catholics Vs. Convicts" and "Hesburgh." He's also in the midst of a new project on legendary Notre Dame football coach Knute Rockne. Our conversation delves into his familial connections to the University and the football team, which date back more than a century. We also discuss his experiences as a Notre Dame student, paying extra attention to the role he and his roommate, Patrick Walsh, played in the Catholics versus Convicts story, the Notre Dame-Miami rivalry, and how he got involved with ESPN's 30 for 30. Then, we explore how Hesburgh, a film that details the life of Fr. Theodore Hesburgh, the University of Notre Dame president from 1952 until 1987, was inspired by his time on campus gathering footage and interviews for Catholics vs. Convicts.
