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.
