The Socially Distanced Podcast was created by two pop culture-obsessed dads during COVID 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 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.
This week we celebrate Amanda’s three-year anniversary as co-host of Socially Distanced with an episode dedicated to one of her favorite pastimes — cosplay!
Bill Bodkin is in the hosting seat as Amanda Rivas, Branden Vice and Krista Perez of The ConCulture Podcast to discuss the art of cosplay. The panel discusses their inspiration to begin cosplay, the anxiety that comes with being out in public and on social media as a cosplayer, finding their people within cosplay culture, the stereotypes and misconceptions about cosplay, the joy they get from cosplaying and what their dream cosplay would be.
In the pre-game segment they discuss the runaway Netflix hit film KPop Demon Hunters and why this film has become the cultural phenomenon of the summer.
