ACOB

A weekly, hours-long live podcast for adult LEGO fans (AFOLs) covering news and community drama, often broadcasting directly from conventions.

The brief

This show is a casual, community-centric hangout for LEGO enthusiasts. It functions less like a structured news program and more like a live, unscripted conversation between friends and their audience. The hosts' deep integration with the live chat and their frequent, chaotic broadcasts from convention floors define the show's raw and immediate feel.

The show's signature is its long-form, live-from-the-floor convention coverage. While other LEGO podcasts recap events, ACOB takes their audience directly into the environment, creating an unpolished and highly interactive experience that is distinct from more produced studio shows.
