Comedy podcast Got A Problem Mate joins forces with Lock It In
Got a Problem Mate, the podcast created by award-winning comedians Bilal Zafar and Joey Page, has joined the network of Lock It In, the podcast production company founded by Absolute Radio’s Andy Bush.
The move will see Lock It In drive audience and commercial growth strategies for Got a Problem Mate – including promotion across Lock It In’s podcast portfolio – and will see the podcast move to the Adelicious hosting platform. Got a Problem Mate will continue to run its membership programme on Patreon.
Bilal is an Edinburgh Fringe Comedy Awards Best Newcomer nominee and New Act of the Year (NATYS) winner, while Joey recently celebrated two decades in comedy and has been a nominee for Best Show at the Edinburgh Fringe and the Malcom Hardy Award for Comic Originality. They launched Got a Problem Mate in 2023 and every week are joined by celebrity guests to give advice on anything that is troubling them and listeners. The podcast, which returned for a new season yesterday (November 12), hit 100 episodes this year and has welcomed guests including Harry Hill, Richard Herring, Stevie Martin, Danny Wallace, Sooz Kempner and Kiell Smith-Bynoe.
Lock It In was founded by Bush, the voice of Hometime for more than 2m weekly listeners; Will Nichols (former VP, Content Development at Universal Music); and Matt Cutler, best known for breakthrough documentary The Pirates vs The Premier League and women’s football podcast Expected Goals.
Lock It In creates and helps grow podcasts that are inspired by the nuances of British culture, and works with platforms, talent and brands on everything from concepts and content strategy through to production, monetisation and promotion.
Got a Problem Mate will sit in Lock It In’s podcast portfolio alongside interactive quiz Guestimators; Scarred For Life, the TV and film podcast where celebrities confess terrifying events from their childhood; Milo Edwards, Olga Koch and Riley Quinn’s Glue Factory podcast; and Away Days, the football podcast led by indie rock drummers Chris “Woody” Wood and Piers Hewitt.
