It has been quite the offseason for former Notre Dame quarterback Ian Book, as he’s laying out a post-playing career.

He was the color commentator during the Blue & Gold game, and by all accounts he was impressive behind the microphone. Book isn’t sitting back in this potential career change, as he recently launched a podcast named “The PlayBook: A Rally Podcast.” Its main topic is what it’s like for Notre Dame athletes to navigate the Name, Image and Likeness era.

Book will also have insiders as guests as well, and the first episode that was released featured former Notre Dame stars Cole Kmet and Julian Love. His second featured the Irish General Manager Mike Martin, who explained the process he has dealing with players and contracts.

The podcast is a fantastic look inside Notre Dame athletics, and it most likely wouldn’t stop Book from being in the running for the open radio analyst position. This is just me guessing, but after being in the booth for the spring game, it makes perfect sense to add him to the radio booth.
