The Socially Distant Sports Bar

Distant Pod is a weekly podcast where Elis James, Mike Bubbins, and Steff Garrero dive into the best (and worst) clips, documentaries, books, and sporting moments they’ve discovered that week. From iconic brilliance to complete nonsense, each episode is a fast-moving, funny tour through sport, culture, and the strange corners of the internet — with zero expertise required and strong opinions guaranteed.

🏃‍♂️ CHARITY RUN
Steff is running the Tokyo Marathon for Orchid Cancer, raising vital funds for men’s cancer research and support.
