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.
It’s a Bill and Amanda episode! That’s right. No guests. A wild format. Two friends just talking about the pop culture they love.
In this episode they kick things off in a different way – discussing books. In the pre-game segment they discuss Matt Dinniman’s Dungeon Crawler Carl series. Bill picked up the first issue of the Dungeon Crawler Carl comic (Chapter 1 of the graphic novel from Vault Comics) on Free Comic Book Day, so he gave it a read and discussed it with Amanda – a diehard DCC fan. They discuss the popularity of the series, DCC themed candy and how Amanda should leverage the podcast to get free candy for her wedding, and Seth MacFarlane’s adaptation of the series for Peacock.
They move onto their summer preview — discussing food, concerts, wrestling, book releases, Spider-Man, lucha libre, The Odyssey, Supergirl, House of the Dragon and more! They then preview the upcoming Star Wars mini-series they’re launching on the podcast, Branden Hilton’s Qmir cosplay, Bill’s admission to only watching Revenge of the Sith once, the appeal of Mando & Grogu and more.
