MUSIC AND OPENING TITLES

TAD: Welcome to the Horse Sized Duck, the brand new podcast coming straight 

out of the creative media department at Nescot College. I am your host Tad Avery joined on my right by Tashin Berken. Today we are going to be covering football questions and would you rather. Shall we jump straight in,  tell me what team you support?

TASHIN: I support Liverpool

TAD: Strong team, 79 points, top of the league, followed by Man City then

Leicester.

TAD: We are simply the best (00.29)

TAD: Em, don’t know about that. They can win the UEFA Champions league but

apparently they can’t get past Chelsea in the FA Cup with a team full of youngsters! Ok, we will move away from that. Apparently in Scottish league football they have stopped handshakes in football games because of Coronavirus. It’s getting out of hand innit! Colleges around here have been shut down. This podcast may be a bit of history with Coronavirus closing in on us.

Shall we get to the would you rather questions? This was recommended by a watcher last week.

TASHIN: Yeah, we should, I’ve got some right here

TAD: Would you rather take a cold shower or sleep an hour less than you need to

be fully rested? (00.57)

TASHIN: I would rather sleep an hour less

TAD: Sheesh, an hour less. I mean I am not really a morning person, I am grouchy 

and don’t like getting up in the mornings, so I would probably rather take a cold shower and be refreshed

TASHIN: That’s just crazy

TAD: Anyone who has ever taken a cold shower will know that for the first 20 

seconds it’s like whaooo shiver me timbers after that it’s quite cool and relaxing.

TASHIN: You be crazy! (1.11)

TAD: I have another one, would you rather go about for a day naked or go to sleep for a year? Seems like a bit of a no brainer. 

TASHIN:  I would go naked.

TAD: Yeah I would rather go a day naked

TASHIN:  I am not wasting a year

TAD: Next question is from Mary, from South East London. Would you rather marry a vain person or a person who is insecure?

TASHIN: : Ermm, that’s a hard one

TAD: I would rather marry someone who is vain, because I feel like with someone insecure you give them a boost but they fall back. So someone who is vain

and in love with themselves, I could name a few.

TASHIN: : Yeah, I go with you, a vain one (1.28)

TAD: Would you rather eat the same meal for the rest of your life or never use

Instagram again? I know what I would be doing (taking pictures of myself) I am just going to instagram it.

TASHIN: I would never use Instagram

TAD: I would eat the same meal….I’m joking, I’m joking. (1.44) Would you rather

Have cookies or French Fries?

TASHIN: French fries

TAD: There’s a lot of different cookies isn’t there. But IN and OUT in California I

would rather have an unlimited supply of their French fries. I’ve got another one for you - would you rather be 4ft 5 or 7ft 7?

TASHIN:  I’d be 4ft 5? If I am 4ft 5 everyone is going to bully me, basically I would get 

stepped on. So, I would be 7ft 7

TAD: And pursue a career in the basketball industry

TASHIN: Yeah (2.10)

TAD: Shall we get into the football now?

TASHIN: Would you rather sign up for Barcelona and never play in the first team or

spend your whole career in the championship but you are like the best.

TAD: Think that’s a no brainer for me, I’d be a championship star

TASHIN:  Why’s that?

TAD: Build a nice friendship with all the lads and it’s all about the community and 

unlimited free beers whenever I step into the pub! It would be brilliant and an honour to play for Barcelona but what’s the point if you are not playing games what’s the point, I would prefer the experience. (2.34)

TASHIN: Yeah, yeah.   Would you rather lose the league and your rivals lose the 

Champions league final or win the league and your rivals win the champions league?

TAD: That’s a bit of a Liverpool, Man City situation isn’t it? 

TASHIN:  Basically both lose or both win

TAD: I would win the premier league

TASHIN: And your rival win the Champions league?

TAD: Yep because we will come for them next season! (2.55)

TASHIN: Would you rather get stuck in a lift with Michael Owen or Jamie Carragher?

TAD: It would have to be Michael Owen because Jamie Carragher's accent would send 

me over the edge

TASHIN: Yeah the absolute edge (3.03)

TAD: So what do you think about the top three teams in the premier league, 

Leicester, Man City

TASHIN: And who, who, who?

TAD: Liverpool. But we got Chelsea close behind

TASHIN: Not sure about that one

TAD: You are pretty much going to win the premier league

TASHIN: Thank you (3.20)

TAD: Man United scraping along behind us, thinking they can get on our level

TASHIN: But that ain’t going to happen.

TAD: Who would you relegate? Man united, Chelsea or Arsenal. And don’t just say 

it because we slapped you 2 nil

TASHIN: Probably like Arsenal 

TAD: Party political broadcast, Arsenal you belong in the naughty corner. They are 

on par with Everton. And they got beaten by whatever that team was called made up of Greek farmers.

TASHIN: Greek farmers, that’s funny (3.59)

TAD: That is the end of the Horse Sized Duck. I’ve been Tad Avery this has been 

Berken and we hope you tune in for next week's episode. Please don’t forget to subscribe and like our channel

TASHIN: Thank you (4.00)

HORSE SIZED DUCK 

PRE-PRODUCTION

Football is a sport that anyone can love, no matter race, religion or belief, this made the podcast a perfect option to draw an audience in.

We came up with themes that we thought would appeal to our target audience of 15-25 year old men. Football is the main theme that will be talked about in each episode followed by questions that have been submitted beforehand. 

We asked our friends to submit questions that would be fun. Some of the questions were football related and some just stuff that people thought would make for an interesting conversation. 

We wanted to keep the podcast short and filmed 11 minutes of film which would have been edited down to 5 minutes with opening and closing credits.

The hosts were told to keep the show natural and lighthearted. 

We filmed the podcast with a green screen and we were going to link to our YouTube channel and social media as well as having funny or interesting images to hold the viewers attention.

The film crew set up the studio and tested the equipment although this was very simple to film, all we did was take two cameras, set them up in different angles for side on shot, and direct shot, this helped make the podcast look more professional and engaging.


Show Notes:
This conversational/co-host podcast discusses events that have recently taken place in the football world, from highly anticipated games or just merely talking about the leagues table and possible transfers, cracking jokes and taking part in answering football related "Would You Rather?" questions. People will tune into this podcast for all things football related.
