The Socially Distant Sports Bar is a comedy/sports podcast hosted by sports journalist and academic Steffan Garrero with comedians Elis James and Mike Bubbins. [1] It was created in response to the lack of live sport during the COVID-19 pandemic. [2] [3]

Contents

Premise

Each of the presenters picks a short clip, then take turns to pick a feature-length documentary, followed by a second short clip each, ending with one of them choosing a book (originally three books were discussed) all related to sport. [4] They discuss the clips, documentary and book as well as taking various detours to discuss a diverse range of subjects loosely related to the original clips. [5] In March 2021 the second round of clips were made available to Patreon subscribers only and in April 2023 the Non-Patreon version of the podcast was split into two episodes, made available on Wednesdays and Fridays. The Patreon version continues to be released on Tuesdays.

Reception

The podcast was included in The Telegraph's 50 Best Cultural Events of 2020 poll, being praised for its "unreasonably hilarious lockdown laughs". [6] In January 2021, the podcast won a Pod Bible poll winners award for best podcast in the Sport & Leisure category. [7] In February 2022 the podcast was nominated for Best Comedy Sports Podcast at the Sports Podcast awards; [8] an award they subsequently won. [9]

The podcast has been commended for "giving back" to the sporting community in Wales and sponsor a number of sports clubs including Cardiff Met WFC and the academy sides at Carmarthen Town. [10]

2021 UK Tour

In April 2021 it was announced that the podcast would tour the UK in the Autumn of that year, visiting venues including The Hackney Empire, The Lowry in Salford and Cardiff's New Theatre. [11] Following the original tour selling well, (including having multiple shows at Hackney and Cardiff) an extra arena show was added at Cardiff's Motorpoint Arena in February 2022. This show was re-arranged for February 2023 due to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic. [12]

Down The Clubhouse

Following the positive reception to the podcast the team were given the opportunity by BT Sport to take the format to television. In 2022 they recorded eight episodes of "Down The Clubhouse" using the same format of choosing sport-related video clips and discussing them. The show was filmed on location at the clubhouse of Cowbridge RFC in the Vale of Glamorgan in the spring of 2022 and aired through the summer of 2022. [13]

Sponsorships

The Patreon income has allowed for sponsorship of sports teams and other charitable causes. Teams sponsored include Carmarthen Town Academy, Cardiff Blue Dragons rugby league kids, Welsh Under 16 Rugby League Team, Anglesey Netball Team, Cardiff Schools Rugby, Cardiff Met Womens and Mens, and Blackwood Bowls. [14] They also funded cabinets to house defibrillators at local sports clubs. [15]
