Quickly Kevin podcast gets 00s football sequel Let’s Be Having You!
The chart-topping Quickly Kevin podcast is evolving into a new one, Let’s Be Having You! but this time exploring 00s football.
The new show will be hosted by Quickly Kevin co-host Chris Scull and Alex Brooker of Last Leg, Soccer Aid and Masked Singer fame.
Joined by sports producer Nick Lustig, the trio cover a series of 00s-based football adventures, such as: Why didn’t Delia Smith’s half-time motivational talk work? How on earth did England not win Euro 2004? And was the Dream Team as incredible and terrible as we remember?
Each week, the team will be joined by a range of former footballers, broadcasters and comedians, as they discuss another decade of football.
Let’s Be Having You! joins the Sport Social Podcast Network, which will provide sponsorship, advertising partnership and marketing support for the show.
Chris Scull said: “When we started down to talk about future guests and names like Paul Jewell, Martin Jol and Paul Robinson get bandied about, it’s impossible not to get really, really excited.
“I think Quickly Kevin and the 90s taught us that nonsense makes for great podcast material; so we should have plenty to work with given the noughties is an era in which Footballer’s Wives and Big Ron Manager thrived.
Co-host Alex Brooker added: ““I definitely enjoyed football a lot more back then – it was a great era for Arsenal! It’s obviously not going to surprise anyone that I would love to chat to anyone from the Invincibles team.
“I met Thierry Henry once – he was doing Super Sunday at the Emirates and I quickly had a photo with him. While we were posing for the photo, I said to him: “Just to let you know you’re my hero and also one of my tables at my wedding was named after you”.
“It’s one of those things where if you tell someone they’re your hero when you’re a kid, it’s endearing, but when you’re some fat 30 something year old geezer, it’s just weird. I just need to put it to bed to be able to sleep again really.”
Sophie Hind, managing director of Sport Social commented: “Sport Social couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome Let’s Be Having You, it’s a real coup for the network. We are all huge fans of Quickly Kevin, one of the most well-loved football pods of all time.
“Chris, Alex and Nick make for a brilliant team and I’m sure Let’s Be Having You will be just as much of a hit as its predecessor. Fans are going to love the new podcast, and the EUROs coverage the team has been working on is a riot – we can’t wait for listeners to hear it.
“The show will bolster our already expansive football offering, and I know that the creators, brands and sponsors we work closely with are going to be just as excited as we are to be able to collaborate with the show.”
The first episode of Let’s Be Having You! is available now across all podcast platforms. Then from Saturday 1 June the team will be begin doing special coverage of the EUROs.
