Two years ago we published a 59 minute podcast about sport.
We had two rules.
1. All episodes must be under an hour.
2. It must be completely sport related.
We stuck to those rules & that explains our success.

As the dust settles on the first @distantpod tour can we say a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who came to the shows. Gobsmacked that so many people came to see us (not) talk about sport. Your support means the world to us - Elis, Mike & Steff.

Here we go everybody.
The collaboration you’ve been waiting for.
Admiral x Distant Pod.
Clwb Pêl-droed Distant Pod is launched.
At Admiral HQ we are often sat debating, discussing, and deliberating the best kits or the most iconic sporting moment. Unfortunately, whilst all working separately in our respective homes the sporting badinage dissipated.

We've linked up with coffee roasters Fat Whites to make 3 very different bags of coffee from the same beans.
All of the profits from these go towards our campaign to get more defibrillators in locked accessible cabinets around the country.
