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.
Socially Distanced kicks off 2026 by going back into the Upside Down one final time as we discuss the Stranger Things Series Finale.
Join host “The Human Star Wars Encyclopedia” Amanda Rivas with her guests Bill Bodkin, Randy Allain, Aria Clarke, and Josh Sarnecky as they discuss Stranger Things Season 5 Episode 8, “Right Side Up.” This episode has a little bit of everything — big laughs, some tears, and hot takes on Mark Twain.
The party discusses the wild internet theory about Conformity Day, spin-offs, the flaws in the finale, and if The Duffer Brothers stuck the landing. They also discuss the series in general and who were their favorite Day 1 characters, their favorite characters the series brought in, beloved catchphrases, the song of the series, and so much more.
