Episode No. 17 of the Irish Illustrated Interviews podcast series features Ty Hildenbrandt, a lifelong Notre Dame fan and one of the co-hosts and founders of "The Solid Verbal" podcast. The show represents the largest independent college football podcast, and it's heading into its 19th season. The episode discusses his complicated fandom as a Penn State alumnus and a diehard Fighting Irish supporter, the consternation his dual allegiances have caused at times and what it's like to share his raw emotions as a fan with a national audience. The conversation also dives into The Solid Verbal and how he and his co-host, Dan Rubenstein, get the pulse of college football teams across the country while following dozens upon dozens of games each weekend. That includes browsing various message boards to monitor fan reactions. Check out The Solid Verbal here. https://www.solidverbal.com/
