Diary Of A Big Lad

By: Osborne Road Productions
  • Summary

  • When it comes to self-improvement, Chade O’Brien has seen and tried it all. From fad diets and personal trainers to chasing mystical fitness unicorns. However, after more ups-and-downs in the gym than Arnie’s dumbbells, 2022 saw Chade logging what genuinely worked and sharing his success on social media. This evolved into the 'Diary Of A Big Lad Podcast' – an ordinary 'big lad's guide to fitness, sharing nuggets of wisdom from his journey.


    Join the North's sweatiest man (and his wobbly wingman, Nico) as they tackle a new fitness topic each week, sifting through the myths to discover what truly gets results. They run exercises, experiment with different methods and interview guests on their ongoing quest to not only finding the methods that work the best for them, but helping you hone in on which ones can work for you!

    It's the first (and most likely only) solo episode featuring Nico on his own! Last week we had an update on how Chade's Challenge is coming along, this week, we'll hear how Nico's is!

    As you may remember, Nico's Challenge was to write, record and fully produce the first episode of a brand new podcast. Nico thought he'd take this opportunity to go over some of the mistakes he's made in the past when producing podcasts so he doesn't make them again, and hopefully give you some pointers if YOU'RE planning on starting your own podcast in the future!

    Nico uses some of his previous and current work as an example, please find them below.

    The Christmas Special of 'Bitesize Business Direct', the self produced audio comedy starring me, Lewis Wills and a host of talented folks!

    Here we have a standard episode of 'Diary Of A Big Lad', appropriately about setting goals!

    Finally, if you're after some expert advice rather than the rambling failings of whispery loser, we highly recommend anything Buzzsprout (our host) created, eg Buzzcast or 'How To Start A Podcast', their lovely series on just that subject.

  • Diary Entry - Progress On Chade's Challenge

    Chade gives us an update on how his challenge is going, he's fallen behind on some aspects, but perhaps it's not a bad thing...

    For those of you who haven't been following, if Chade should fail this self imposed challenge, the forfeit is he will get no Christmas dinner. None. Not a sausage. Literally.

  • The Challenge Begins

    Last week the lads set themselves a challenge of achieving a personal goal by the 25th of December, the forfeit of failing said challenge being incredibly high stakes punishment of which they will go into detail of here.

    From 4:40 there's a FULL 10 minutes of 'second-time dad' talk, so if that's your bag it's well worth a listen!

    When they finally get down to talking about their challenges, they inevitably get on the subject of habits. The word habit is used about 560 times so if you want to join in and see if you can approach your challenge like the lads sit back, relax, and prepare to hear the words 'habit'. Habit.

    In short, they finalise their challenges and dip into how they plan to tackle them. If you're joining in at home (and why not!), we'd love to hear what yours are and how your getting on via the Fan Mail feature or at the usual email address.
