David Baddiel and Frank Skinner are resuming their positions as the unofficial voice of football this summer for a set of World Cup podcasts.
In 2006 the pair created the World Cup’s first ever podcasts which were downloaded by over 1 million listeners and this year will see the pair don their Fantasy Football hats once again to keep tabs on England’s journey through the epic tournament with a series of 20 free-of-charge podcasts courtesy of Absolute Radio.
Alongside the podcast they will also be presenting weekly, hour-long specials for Absolute Radio live from South Africa.
Skinner said “I’m incredibly excited about Absolute Radio sending us to watch the football in South Africa this summer. I fully expect to have three lions on my shirt and another couple chasing the Land Rover”
Baddiel added: “I’m very much looking forward to going to the World Cup, not least because I’ve hacked into Fabio Capello’s Player Index and am now his highest-rated centre forward.”
The first podcast is launched on Monday 24th May and can be found via, iTunes, Facebook or Absolute Radio.
The pair have also been busy re-recording their classic Euro ’96 anthem 3 Lions with showbiz pals Robbie Williams and Russell Brand guaranteed to egg on our boys to victory in South Africa next month.
3 Lions 2010 is out now.
