Show Notes
ED — PART 1 Title The Hackney Half LIVE
Description Welcome to Part 1 of this week’s Socially Distant Sports Bar with Elis James, Mike Bubbins and Steff Garrero. This is the first half of our live show from the Hackney Empire on Wednesday 8th April, recorded in front of a crowd of some people.
Our very special guest was the brilliant Charlie Baker — comedian, actor, singer, sports obsessive and one of the funniest live performers around. Charlie joins the boys on stage for a night of clips, stories, songs, sport and the kind of chaos that can only happen when this podcast is allowed inside a proper theatre.
Was the Hackney Empire completely full? No. Was it spiritually full? Absolutely. Was the half that turned up better than the half that didn’t? Without question.

More from The Socially Distant Sports Bar
Welcome to the second half of this week's Socially Distant Sports Bar, where Mike Bubbins, Elis James and Steff Garrero turn their attention to the documentary and book of the week. This time we're travelling back to 1988, when England's future football stars were being moulded at a residential school in Shropshire, before heading across the Atlantic to meet a man who helped create the only perfect season in modern NFL history. Two very different approaches to sporting excellence. Both involving a considerable amount of shouting, presumably.
Another week at The Socially Distant Sports Bar, where Mike Bubbins, Elis James and Steff Garrero once again tackle the big sporting issues of the day. Or at least watch some clips and see where the conversation takes them.
Welcome to Pint-Sized Distant Pod. We've been back through our archive of episodes and we've selected our favourite stories, anecdotes and funny bits. If you're new to the pod, then feel free to use these as a jump off point to find your way around our earlier episodes. This clip is taken from "Episode 293: George Lewis"
Welcome to this week's Socially Distant Sports Bar with Mike Bubbins, Elis James and Steff Garrero. This week we're taking a trip back to the golden age of television game shows, before heading into the tactical revolution that has changed football from the Champions League to the lowest reaches of the non-league pyramid.
Another week at The Socially Distant Sports Bar, where Mike Bubbins, Elis James and Steff Garrero once again prove that talking about sport is entirely optional on a sports podcast. This week, Mike reveals how his habit of leaving his audio recorder running might eventually prove to be his downfall, the boys uncover some deeply unpleasant Roman bathroom techniques that will put you off your dinner, and Mike explains just how far he'd be prepared to go if someone offered him a bit of land. And it's quite a length.
