96. The NFC East Group Therapy Session: The Big Game, The Off-Season & The Future of the NFC East

Socially Distanced is a fun podcast to listen to as it often covers a variety of topics from sports to wrestling, television and music. What makes it different from most podcasts is that it does not stick to one particular theme. 
Hosts Al and Bill from The Pop Break are relatable, with varying opinions that make interesting content. I look forward to each episode and hope they continue the podcast well after these   complicated times are over.

A relatable and fun podcast

The Socially Distanced Podcast is a podcast hosted by two pop culture obsessed dads who were stuck in quarantine and decided to take their Facebook messenger conversations and turn them into a podcast. Join hosts Al Mannarino and Bill Bodkin as they discuss everything in the world movies, music, sports, television and pop culture -- everything keeping them sane in this time of socially distancing.
