Team GB Launch Podcast Series Ahead Of Tokyo Games
Team GB have launched a new podcast in the build up to the rescheduled Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
Supported by Official Domain Name, Website Builder and Web Hosting Partner GoDaddy, ‘Relay’ will celebrate Tokyo-bound Olympians in the build-up to the Games.
Hosted by ‘Olympic super-fan’ Vernon Kay, double Olympic gold medallist Nicola Adams, and comedian Rhys James, the podcast will feature in-depth chats with Team GB athletes, engaging fans across the country ahead of the Games.
Relay will explore the wider interests of athletes away from their sport, and will run weekly for six episodes in the run-up to the Games with two further episodes set to be released on Fridays during and just after Tokyo 2020.
“Launching ‘Relay’ on the eve of Tokyo 2020 is a great way to celebrate these brilliant athletes and Team GB as a whole,” said Scott Field, Director of Communications and Marketing, Team GB.
“The show is about fun and entertainment before the serious business of challenging for medals in Tokyo begins. Being able to work with the likes of Vernon and Rhys, two genuine Olympic sport fans, and a Team GB legend in Nicola really helps bring to life how inspirational and loved our athletes are and hopefully the podcast can play its role in creating that huge wave of support from the nation when the Games begin next month.”
Ben Law, Head of GoDaddy UK and Ireland said: “We are delighted to be partnering with Team GB and excited for the launch of ‘Relay’ ahead of Tokyo 2020. Ultimately, every athlete is a small business. At GoDaddy, we help everyday entrepreneurs do something extraordinary and the launch of this new and engaging podcast series will bring to life successful sporting and entrepreneurial stories to help inspire a new generation of business owners.”
Produced by TBI Media, the first episode sees taekwondo star Bianca Walkden joining the hosts to talk about lucky charms, sparring with her boyfriend, and running a pizza company, with the second featuring boxer Chev Clarke whose selection to the Games comes via football, driving HGVs, and becoming an entrepreneur with his own online clothing brand, Level Up Nation.
