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 travels to the heart of rock ‘n’ roll, which as Huey Lewis once told us, is indeed in Cleveland. That’s right they’re talking about the Rock + Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2025 Inductees which streams live on Disney+ this weekend.
Bill Bodkin and Amanda Rivas are joined by Pop Break writer Alex Biese to discuss the merits of the inductees: Bad Company, Chubby Checker, Cyndi Lauper, Joe Cocker, Outkast, Soundgarden and The White Stripes.
Find out why Amanda hates The White Stripes, how Bill and Alex ended up at a lot of the same concerts, the disgust over Cyndi Lauper not being inducted sooner, and how the “influence” awards given to Salt-N-Pepa and Warren Zevon are essentially consolation prizes.
They also give their thoughts on Mariah Carey, Mana, Joy Division/New Order, Oasis and Phish not getting in this year, and which artists they believe are being ignored by the Hall.
Finally, in the pre-game segment they discuss the first trailer for Stranger Things Season 5 Part 1. Find out who never got past Season 1 and who bailed halfway through Season 2. Hint, for once, it was not Bill Bodkin.
