The Klopps and Robbers Pod

As we wind down on an eventful media degree, another digital artefact is amongst us, and this time it is a collaborative effort with fellow student Cruz.

The YouTube channel which it will be uploaded on will be the YouTube channel used in previous DA’s, ‘Mavro Productions’. This makes it easier as the audience is already there, but can also expand with a set podcast every week leading to more ideation and content creation.

The YouTube channel on which the podcasts will be uploaded is none other than ‘Mavro Productions’, the very same channel utilised in my previous Digital Assistants (DA’s). This decision serves a twofold advantage: firstly, the existing audience are already familiar with ‘Mavro Productions’ ensures greater visibility and reach for the podcast; secondly, it opens up new possibilities for expansion by introducing regular content through a podcast series every week. By adopting this approach, we are not only roping in the established fanbase as a starting point but also encouraging the production of fresh and exciting content. With a dedicated podcast to the channel accompanied with the other content of the YouTube channel, the potential for ideation is boundless, thereby providing a solid foundation for more content.

This podcast, named “Klopps and Robbers Pod,” is a digital artefact designed exclusively for enthusiasts who support Liverpool Football Club. Our goal is to produce a high-quality weekly podcast that thoroughly analyses the game of the week, highlights key players and moments, and actively engages with our audience by addressing their questions and comments. My specific role in this endeavour includes creating thought-provoking questions for the podcast, facilitating audience interaction and involvement, and collaborating with my fellow podcast host to create an entertaining podcast week in and week out.

Instead of going through the hassle of scheduling meet-ups and recording sessions, Cruz and I have opted to leverage the power of technology and use Discord as a means to create more content! This decision was influenced by my involvement in another podcast called Thrylos Global, where we discuss and live stream our conversations about the renowned Greek team, Olympiakos. The instantaneous upload feature of our Thrylos Global episodes resonates with me, motivating myself to follow the same pattern for our very own podcast, the Klopps and Robbers Pod.

As depicted in the aforementioned clip, what transpires during the interview is not simply a boring Q&A session. Rather, it takes the form of a dynamic and engaging conversation, with even some jokes and exclusives that the player has never said in any other interview. And it is precisely this distinct quality and conversational technique that Cruz and I aim to capture and deliver through our podcast. Our focus will be centred on engaging in lively discussions about our team embracing the fact that the only setback lies in the fact that our conversations are being recorded. Another two podcasts that are of inspiration are these two below, with a much bigger budget:

Two completely different perspectives, but yet it is on the same sport. We intend to bring a fan perspective on the game, as the above two are from influencers and a professional footballer.
