The Socially Distanced Podcast is hosted by two pop culture obsessed dads who decided to take their Facebook messenger conversations and turn them into a podcast. In 2022 they brought their friend, a pop culture obsessed mom to the show, and things got even better!
Join hosts Al Mannarino, Amanda Rivas and Bill Bodkin as they discuss everything in the world movies, music, sports, television and pop culture — everything keeping them sane in this time of socially distancing. This podcast is powered by ThePopBreak.com.
Allonsy, time lords and ladies! The Socially Distanced Podcast is back and we’re talking about all things Doctor Who! Pop Break Editor-in-Chief Bill Bodkin is in the host chair as he’s joined by “The Human Star Wars Encyclopedia” Amanda Rivas, Pop Break’s Podcast Director Alex Marcus, “The Magical Lad” Tyler McCarthy (of the Not Couple Goals Podcast) and Randy Allain — who’ll be joining Pop Break as a part of the Police anthology podcast ‘Every Pod You Cast’ which premieres in 2024.
In the episode they discuss David Tennant, Catherine Tate and Russell T. Davies’ return to the franchise and the potential of Ncuti Gatwa in the role of The Doctor. Then the panel dive into how they became Whovians before picking their favorite Doctor.
Amanda talks about leather jacket daddy Doctor Chris Ecleston and how her super cool aunt got her into the series.
Alex gets the layup by discussing David Tennant – who he describes as the most romantic doctor.
Tyler talks up “The Boyfriend Doctor” Matt Smith who was the perfect choice to market The Doctor to America.
Bill has the unenviable task of defending “The Scottish Doctor” Peter Capaldi. He talks about Capaldi’s final season and his chemistry with Pearl Mackie and Michelle Gomez.
Finally, Randy talks about Jodie Whittaker’s groundbreaking role as The Doctor, and how her charm and charisma outshined the series material.
