Back To Basics...(Part 2)

The Socially Distant Sports Bar
Contains very strong language and adult humour

Available for over a year

Elis James and Mike Bubbins are BACK with more from Distant Pod. Part 2 of The Socially Distant Sports Bar, where the conversation goes deeper. This time, the focus turns to cycling. It's a documentary about the Giro D'Italia which zones in on legend Eddy Merckx, a classic documentary... This week's book choice is about the Women's Football Association which explores barriers and inclusion in sport. As ever, it’s less about analysis and more about the stories that emerge from it.
