Distant Pod is the weekly podcast where Elis James, Mike Bubbins, and Steff Garrero dig through the best (and worst) clips, books, documentaries, and sporting moments they’ve found online. Expect sporting brilliance, cultural oddities, and a healthy amount of nonsense.

🏃‍♂️ MARATHON FUNDRAISER

Steff is running the Tokyo Marathon in support of Orchid Cancer, raising money for men’s cancer research and support.
