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 celebrates 300 episodes! Join Bill Bodkin and Amanda Rivas for a split episode. In the first half of the episode they throw it back to the very first episode of the podcast where Bill and then co-host Al Mannarino discuss Rosario Dawson joining the cast of The Mandalorian Season 2, Tom Brady heading to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and the Netflix docuseries Tiger King.
Special guest Randy Allain (Podelay!, Media/Lit) joins in this throwback discussion which also touches upon the country’s obsession with podcasts, social distancing, drive-in concerts and comedy shows, the NBA and NHL bubble, the impact on movies, working from home, and more.
In the second half of the episode finds Bill, Amanda and Randy back in Westeros to discuss A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. They discuss the show’s rise back to the top of the streaming charts, why it’s gained popularity, the chemistry between Dunk and Egg, the violence in the penultimate episode, predictions for the finale and a potential second season, Henry Cavill and more.
