FootballCo —
Beast Mode On

Studio and production support for a flagship episode of Beast Mode On, hosted by Adebayo Akinfenwa.

FootballCo is one of Europe's leading football media companies. Beast Mode On, hosted by Adebayo Akinfenwa, is one of their flagship shows. For this episode, Akinfenwa was joined by Ola Aina — Nottingham Forest full-back and Nigerian international — for an open, honest conversation about football, identity, and life at the top of the game. We were proud to have them at 21Soho.

The project

When the Beast Mode On team needed a studio in London, they came to Laughing Around. The session brought together two of the game's most compelling personalities for a wide-ranging conversation touching on football, identity, culture and what it takes to stay at the top.

Adebayo Akinfenwa — known for his power, personality and lengthy Football Manager career — has built Beast Mode On into one of the most authentic football podcast formats around. Ola Aina brought the same candour, discussing his path through football, his Nigerian identity, and life at Nottingham Forest.
