🎙️ Welcome to The Socially Distant Sports Bar – Episode 254

Elis James (Elis & John, Oh What A Time), Mike Bubbins (Mammoth), and Steff Garrero are back with another episode of top-tier sporting nonsense, barely researched takes, and an absolutely brilliant special guest.

"Like a sports podcast, if the sport was optional."

✨ This Week’s Special Guest – Emily Campbell!

This week, we’re joined by a true powerhouse—Emily Campbell, Olympic silver medalist, Commonwealth champion, and an all-round legend in the world of weightlifting. 

A trailblazer for women in strength sports, Emily has shattered records, defied expectations, and inspired a new generation of athletes.

From Tokyo 2021 to Paris 2024, she’s lifted her way to the top, proving that hard work, resilience, and sheer determination can take you anywhere. But beyond the medals and podiums, she’s also got an incredible sense of humor and some cracking sporting clips to share with us this week.

If you loved our guest episodes with Chesney Hawkes, Josh Widdicome or Sam Warburton you’re going to love this one.
