Welcome to Friday’s Socially Distant Sports Bar with Elis James, Mike Bubbins and Steff Garrero.

Elis brings in Kevin Bridges: In Search of the Beautiful Game, a documentary about football, comedy and the strange hold the game has on people.

Steff has chosen Humans Not Robots: When Elite Sport and Real Life Collide by Michail Antonio, a book about the human reality behind elite sport — pressure, expectation, identity, vulnerability and what happens when real life crashes into professional performance.

The Socially Distant Sports bar features Mike Bubbins from TV's Mammoth and Elis James from the "Elis & John" podcast. It's a funny podcast with sport at it's core.

Welcome to Wednesday’s Socially Distant Sports Bar with Elis James, Mike Bubbins and Steff Garrero.

You'll know Elis from "Elis & John" and Mike from his TV show "Mammoth"

This week, Elis brings in Roy Keane on relationship issues, Mike has Kevin Sinfield, and Steff has found Scotland fans at the baseball.

There is emotional intelligence from unexpected places, sporting greatness, travelling supporters, and the usual attempt to keep a sports podcast somewhere near the subject of sport.
