The podcast is informal, which means we can use jokes and make it funny which is more appealing and will keep the audience entertained throughout the podcast.
Content plan
My podcast is about discussions and
reviews on consoles like Xbox, PlayStation
and games but also talking about relevant products which help you play
that particular game or console. Instead of making it formal and almost might sound boring to some people if we are just constantly talking about the game we have added some funny hosts into the show to talk about funny things happening in the game industry and funny events which have happened to different players. The hosts also play a lot of games themselves so they're able to contribute to different topics which they have knowledge about. We will also be asking questions to some of the local people in Sheffield so that they can get involved and have a say about a specific topic which they want to talk about, we will also be asking questions or asking their opinions on certain subjects which we will bring up in the podcast. As part of our podcast we will be doing a giveaway every three episodes which gives the audience a chance to win games and accessories which we have shown on the show, the audience can have a chance to win by texting or emailing in with a winner chosen at random.

set of rims on these fresh cars like the Bugatti Veyron, pagani zonda and
koenigsegg
Finley: Man! Check out all
the upgrades you can get from winning races and even losing!
Dom: you wanna know whats
bad guys? Cant change cars when you’re in a chase so you could be stuck in a 1
litre and cant get into a fast whip so you can hardly get away
Bailey: Cant wait for the
new need for speed!
Dom: Completed it
Finley: It only came out
yesterday?
Dom: Err! Moving on!
Bailey: Anyone been on GTA
on the new consoles with first person?
Finley: Yeah but it’s only out for new consoles and
they cost a bomb
Dom: Who plays Xbox 360
anymore though?
Finley: You’re joking right?
Loads of people! People who don’t want to pay a fortune!
Dom: Moving onto accessories
for CoD where we’ve been testing out the new modded controller from rapidmodz
Finley: The controller we’ve
received allows you to do a multiple of things whilst in the game, like
dropshot, quick reload,
Bailey: quickscope and rapid-fire
with the controller lighting up with bullet buttons
Dom: Now, talking about the
new Farcry4! We’ve got jack one of our listeners who have called in to talk
about his experience of the game soon!
Bailey: The new valley of
the Yetis DLC is out now for Playstation and Xbox!
Finley: What’s the story
behind it? Is it worth the money?
Dom: It offers a
supernatural twist with a threat of massive Yetis with the enemy after a secret
in the valley.
Bailey: And it’s only £12
with it offering more storyline and more things to do so it’s worth the money
in my opinion.
Finley: Anyone heard of the
keys to kyrat for playstation?
Dom: What’s that?
Finley: it’s where you can
give a friend who doesn’t own the game a chance to play co-op for 2 hours.

caller on the line! Jack! Are you there?
Jack: I’m here! Am I really
on?!
Bailey: Jack! What’s your
opinion on farcry 4?
Jack: It has a good
storyline and better gameplay to the one before, but there’s loads of problems
like the stupid hand glider and grappling hook which is bad to use and hard to
control. You cant even drive the cars cause the handling is that bad and the shooting
accuracy is terrible
Bailey: Driving is easy on
the game?
Jack: It’s not! I crash
every time!
Bailey: I don’t, use the
manual
Finley: Okay hahah! Time to
leave it there thanks for calling in jack!
