Elis is the king of Welsh podcasting & Mike Bubbins is TV’s Tony Mammoth. Each week you get two episodes Part 1 is fast, funny and chaotic — a stream of clips, sporting moments and internet oddities pulled apart with strong opinions and zero expertise. Part 2 slows things down with a documentary and book recommendation , diving into the stories that make sport so compelling. “Elis James and Mike Bubbins are unreasonably hilarious.” — The Telegraph “A haven where they ramble on about classic clips and random recollections.” — The Guardian Better known as Distant Pod , the show is a multi-award winner, created and produced by ARIA Gold Award winner Steff Garrero Hosted on Acast.

Elis James returns to Carmarthen for a special live recording of The Socially Distant Sports Bar , joined by Mike Bubbins and producer Steff Garrero. After a short interval — and a pizza in the dressing room — the second half picks up with the crowd fully involved and the conversation that bit looser. This time, the lads take in 1970s wrestling and sports fandom at its most intense, Elis tries to work out exactly what wakeboarding is, and Steff brings in a story about how a Welsh rugby player’s Filipino parents ended up settling in Llanelli.
