Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip

WELCOME, WELCOME, WELCOME to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip, and the FIRST DPP of 2018 with a one-on-one Pip and guest setup (and not a roomful of drunk mates yammering with increasing volume)! The guest this week is a proper acting heavyweight who you may know from the fabulous Dredd (the 2012 one), the massive 300 or the very definition of massive Game Of Thrones (as Cersei Lannister) - ladies and gentlemen, it's Lena Headey!An inspiring and honest chat with Pip and Lena, as a huge amount of topic get delved into from the very moment the mic is opened... Casino wisdom, her upcoming projects (which all sound ace and mental), the entirely disgusting Harvey Weinstein cases of recent times and her own experiences within the foulness and power tripping, her calling out of Louis CK for his non-sorry apology, boys and girls and parenthood, some Brexit talk, her confidence in acting and how it’s grown since her start in Game Of Thrones, the awesome Dredd, and a heck ton of goodness in between. Whether you know Lena from her many roles, or this is the first time you’ve heard her name, this is perfect DPP nourishment for your mid-week podcast enjoyment.––––– ––––– –––––This episode's links:• LENA HEADEY on TWITTER!• LENA HEADEY on INSTAGRAM!• LENA HEADEY on IMDB!• LENA HEADEY on GAME OF THRONES!• SCROOBIUS PIP on TWITTER!• SCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAM!• SPEECH DEVELOPMENT RECORDS • DISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on FACEBOOK• DISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on INSTAGRAM• NEW LISTENERS TAKE NOTE!!!

We will be here for you for the duration and we would like to thank you properly for the listening time, downloads, shares, Speech Development Records and all round support. Team 3W is the BEST - never forget. Thank you.And so we continue, and as we do so things get decidedly rowdier, almost like turning the volume up from like 5 or so to 10 (or if you wanna Spinal Tap it, 11). So be prepared for a nice gradual increase in bellowing. As with all previous episodes of this current session, Scroobius Pip is joined by Hardcore Listing homies and DrunkCast OGs Stu and Chris, the host of the Say Why To Drugs podcast Dr Suzi Gage (on breathalising and cognition test duties), John of The Dream Factory podcast on fact checking and note taking, Jim Smallman of the Tuesday Night Jaw podcast (straight edge, on the flashy imported salted caramel Monster beverages), wrestler Jimmy Havoc (drinking on behalf of Jim Smallman, the kind and giving soul he is) and Jason ‘Tron’ Reed of the Stop And Search podcast. A savage and fearless display of drunken podcasters right here, and a perfect one to end the four pieces.

Let's get it in shall we...?Same again, same number, same hood – Hardcore Listing homies and DrunkCast OGs Stu and Chris, the host of the Say Why To Drugs podcast Dr Suzi Gage (on breathalising and cognition test duties), John of The Dream Factory podcast on fact checking and note taking, Jim Smallman of the Tuesday Night Jaw podcast (straight edge, on the flashy imported salted caramel Monster beverages), wrestler Jimmy Havoc (drinking on behalf of Jim Smallman, the kind and giving soul he is) and Jason Reed of the Stop And Search podcast.

WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME to your second serving of the 9th Distraction Pieces DrunkCast! How'd you get on with that first part, mmm? All good? No double vision? How many fingers am I holding up? Okay well you seem fine - obviously looks can be deceiving so I'll take your word for it this time, but we'll see how things look after this one...SO - all is the same, same guests – Hardcore Listing homies and DrunkCast OGs Stu and Chris, the host of the Say Why To Drugs podcast Dr Suzi Gage (on breathalising and cognition test duties), John of The Dream Factory podcast on fact checking and note taking, Jim Smallman of the Tuesday Night Jaw podcast (straight edge, on the flashy imported salted caramel Monster beverages), wrestler Jimmy Havoc (drinking on behalf of Jim Smallman, the kind and giving soul he is) and Jason Reed of the Stop And Search podcast. But while the terrain is the same, the convos are very different, as we witness the birth of a new beverage (you'll find out, be patient), get through a good amount of wrestling gossip and pain tolerance threshold goodness, and a healthy amount of meandering tangents and conversational off-roads throughout. Highly enjoyable - as always, pour yourself a Scroobius Pip and get into this one, it's mad fun.––––– ––––– –––––This episode's links:• STOP AND SEARCH PODCAST!• SAY WHY TO DRUGS PODCAST!• HARDCORE LISTING PODCAST!• TUESDAY NIGHT JAW PODCAST!• DREAM FACTORY PODCAST!• SCROOBIUS PIP on TWITTER!• SCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAM!• SPEECH DEVELOPMENT RECORDS • DISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on FACEBOOK• DISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on INSTAGRAM• NEW LISTENERS TAKE NOTE!!!

Welcome, welcome and a third customary welcome to YOU, dear Distraction Pieces Podcast listener, and to the one hundred and eighty first episode! A damn fine, properly solid episode it is too, as your loyal host Scroobius Pip is joined by creator and star of 'Taskmaster' (and very good friend of Tim Key), Alex Horne!Get involved, be you viewer or not, in this chat with Pip and Alex, and enjoy the ground covered between the pair of them. Situated out in the Taskmaster shed, which - as you will hear from time to time - lies directly under a flight path, hear Alex get down and dirty in the history, present and future of the hit Dave channel programme, which involves a good amount of Edinburgh Fringery, along with a hefty amount of Tim Key, and some good old fashioned messing about. From there on things get serious and the show is created, and you'll hear all about it - from the favourite stars, the evolution and theory of having the same team episode to episode, the awesome and bizarre tasks involved, his early days on the Big Brother series and how that fed the seeds of his ideas, a pizza interlude (don't worry, no 'misophonia' warnings on this one), his Horne Section, US and UK comedy, and just a great chat with a very nice person indeed. Wonderful stuff.––––– ––––– –––––This episode's links:• TASKMASTER on DAVE!• DAVE CHANNEL!• ALEX HORNE on TWITTER!• ALEX HORNE BREAKS THE NEWS podcast!• SCROOBIUS PIP on TWITTER!• SCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAM!• SPEECH DEVELOPMENT RECORDS • DISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on FACEBOOK• DISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on INSTAGRAM• NEW LISTENERS TAKE NOTE!!!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY (word to Jim Bowen) of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! Bless ya heart for tuning in, it is a pleasure to have you aboard. A full on cinematic marathon right here this week, as Pip finally presents his finely curated and handpicked selection of his favourite films of the year! All on his lonesome too - 100% Pip!Now, before you go in - know this: this is PIP'S LIST. Pip. This is not your list. These are not the country's favourites. These are not the world's favourites. They are not in order of box office takings, Rotten Tomatoes ratings, none of that. So this list is not wrong, faulty or incorrect - it's Pip entirely personal list of his favourite films of the year. This naturally means you are ENTIRELY FREE to have your own list, and heartily encouraged to do so! It's a fun thing to do. But on this occasion, you are cordially invited to partake in Pip's rundown of his choice picks of the year, and good lord of COURSE you're not gonna agree with it all. And maybe you hate everything here! But that's the beauty of it - we're all on different paths, different courses, and let's rejoice in the diversity of each other's opinions, viewpoints and taste. For therein is the beauty of the universe. Yours, with love, the Distraction Pieces Podcast. YOU ARE BLESSED.––––– ––––– –––––This episode's links:• ODEON LIMITLESS CARDS! • NOT A SPONSOR!• CINEWORLD UNLIMITED CARDS! • NOT A SPONSOR EITHER!• IMDB!• SCROOBIUS PIP on TWITTER!• SCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAM!• SPEECH DEVELOPMENT RECORDS • DISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on FACEBOOK• DISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on INSTAGRAM• NEW LISTENERS TAKE NOTE!!!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode 179 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! Nothing but super scientifical madness this time round as we warmly welcome RICK EDWARDS of the 'Science(ish)' podcast to the chat-throne, to drop some gems and nuggets upon you regarding all things cinema and the science within...Whether you know Rick from the Science(ish) podcast or the accompanying book, or none of the above, this is a really entertaining chat which goes through a few of the films he has delved into in the past - Ex Machina, The Martian and Interstellar are the stars of the show here which spark nice tangents about the supervillain Elon Musk, the ridiculous intricacies of invisibility, the hard science behind some films and the flimsy science behind others, and how Star Trek was a solid breeding ground of idea for future products and scientific innovation! Throughly entertaining, and some exciting subject for your mind to ponder - nerds and non-nerds (so, everybody I guess?) - this one's for YOU!!!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to your second Friday bonus in a row, concluding the two part 'Ask Pip' session from last week! But more importantly, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip - that's the important upfront business taken care of... Not in the French badlands this time but out in a park near Covent Garden, round the back of the Odeon and near the back of Denmark Street / New Tottenham Court Road if I'm not mistaken. There was a one-eyed cat who lived there a few years ago, and may still do... Such a weird little corner of Central London. Worth a peep though. Anyway - a nice little chatback with SoloPip, and a good catch up on all things Q&A - and Q's get A'd for real. I won't spoil the content here but it's a nice one on one jammy for certain.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! Episode 178 is standing outside your door this minute, so exercise politeness and cordiality and let it in won't ya - it's a goody this week, as Pip is joined by mighty acting talent Jonny Lee Miller!Undoubtedly you will know Jonny from the film which basically everyone must have seen by now (I mean if you were at an age suitable for the 18 rating) Trainspotting - and if not then good god fix that up already... He played the standout character 'Sickboy', and went onto revisit the character a couple of decades later in T2. These were naturally not the bookends of his career, as you will hear in this full on sprawling conversation - you'll get the inside scoop on his very early days, where he effectively bypassed the conventional acting route and did things in his own way, his Kingston Upon Thames (bigups!) days, his old skool days doing the UK actor thing by starring in The Bill, Eastenders and all the classics, and his giant leaps from the UK to the US, and LA to NY, from squandering roles after Trainspotting but clawing back a glorious career and ultimately starring as Sherlock Holmes in the huge US series Elementary - AND starring as Sherlock more than anyone else ever! Power moves from Jonny - get involved and brush up on your Jonny Lee Miller trivia! Huge.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode... Hmmm... The episode with NO NUMBER! For this is an extra special bonus 'Ask Pip' edition of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! While Pip is out and about on location filming in a sleepy French town appropriately called 'Mello', where the dogs are fierce and the truckers do not obey public hygiene guidelines, he took time to get your questions in on Facebook and answer them out in the wilderness. He also bumps into fellow actor Adam along the way too which is a sweet little catch up halfway in! Nice. Loads of goodies in here from Pip's experiences in the acting world in general, current extreme shadiness in some areas of the film industry, backgrounds on Pip songs, MMA talk, whether looking for artists is a thing for him, and all manner of outside solo chatter, as he talks into his personal recorder with a Troll hair windguard. A very nice Adam Buxton podcast intro-esque style episode which you'll appreciate, minus Rosie the dog. There are dogs, but these ones are all barky and pepped up. You'll hear... Anyway - enjoy, this one's a nice one-to-one in an interesting little corner of the world.

Welcome, welcome, welcome - and since this is a very special episode indeed, go ‘head - have another welcome - to the great and grand Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! Episode 177 right here, hot and fresh out the kitchen and ready for your immediate devouring… Truly this episode is a long awaited one, hinted at for a good while… Well, paths have aligned, the gawds have shaken hands and good fortune has stood in the DPP path as we welcome Jeannie Grigio aka Jean Greasy aka JEAN GRAE!Pip warns at the start that this may be something of a ‘love-in’ and two people sitting there agreeing with each other, which - sure - may be somewhat true… But what could be better than that? In a time where articles and blogs scramble for your attention with negative and shock headlines, let’s take some time to indulge in a straight up lovely, fully varied and positive chat with two very like minded people, who drop gems and jewels like their moth-eaten swagbags got caught on a nail along the way. As a fan, Pip exercises terrific restraint and does not fan-out at all - it’s perfect, as Jean delivers all manner of nuggets pertaining to her illustrious career as rapper, beatmaker/DJ, singer, writer, composer, actor… Too many jumping off points to start from, but somehow the whirlwind of awesomeness is contained in this humble podcast, and you’ll hear about all of it including internet nut-jobs, theoretical fans, how to manipulate a crowd and leave “blood on the stage”, her early days (you may remember her as ‘What What’, or her old crew Natural Resource), her attitude to today’s hip hop scene and how her limits outside of it are endless, the New York state of mind and the diversity within, super powers, dark sides, and TONS more… Prepare to offer this chat a standing ovation at the end, it’s golden!––––– ––––– –––––This episode's links:• JEAN GRAE on TWITTER!• JEAN GRAE on INSTAGRAM!• JEAN GRAE on YOUTUBE!• JEAN GRAE on BANDCAMP!• SCROOBIUS PIP on TWITTER!• SCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAM!• SPEECH DEVELOPMENT RECORDS • DISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on FACEBOOK• DISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on INSTAGRAM• NEW LISTENERS TAKE NOTE!!!

So with this in mind, tripley welcome as you are, here is the long awaited EPISODE 176, recorded live at the Tivoli in Dublin!TONS to enjoy in this two parter, which we kick off here with a lovely Pip monologue which may add an exciting - dare I say 'sexy'? - new layer to his character (involving chairs - all you need to know), after which along comes former DPP guest Blindboy of The Rubberbandits to drizzle the podcast with his luxurious Limerick accent and nuggets of wisdom, and no sooner has Blindboy left the stage, BAM - Pip is joined by his good old mates Chris and Stu of Hardcore Listing and the DrunkCasts! Not drunk just yet - but bear with them, they'll show you what's what in their own episode of Hardcore Listing (which would serve as an ideal accompaniment to this rather more sober two parter). So much covered here - from Blindboy's reflections on having written a book ('The Gospel According To Blindboy'), the 'existential malaise' of releasing art, podcasts and Netflix, to Chris and Stu's catchup and a nice little tale involving Stu and James Buckley from 'Inbetweeners' - much to unwrap and enjoy.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FIVE of the ruffest, tuffest podcast in the known and unknown multiverse (zero exaggeration) - the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! Thank you for tuning in! An equally ruff and tuff guest right here on this episode, as Pip is joined by the multi-talented musician/writer/director S. Craig Zahler!You may know him from the rugged Western 'Bone Tomahawk', or from his upcoming release 'Brawl In Cell Block 99', or maybe indeed from his illustrious alternate careers paths which weave between being a prolific novelist, screenwriter and musician (in bands Realmbuilder and Charnel Valley). However you've been acquainted with the man, you're about become even more so, as Pip chats heavy with him about the art of cinema, the filming and staging of a realistic fight scene, his own musical reward system while writing, how his films are positioned between arthouse and grindhouse, and how his film titles would be considered overly descriptive by today's standards. You'll also find out the original title for 'Brawl In Cell Block 99'! So there's a good amount of trivia to be enjoyed too. Awesome chat, and the perfect companion to any of his previous work, but definitely one to pair with the viewing of '...Cell Block'.

WELCOME, WELCOME, WELCOME to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! Wonderful to have you on board, and it goes without saying, thank you much for tuning in. More fire for you this week, as is the standard, by way of comic and satire writer/producer (and everything else) Armando Iannucci!Responsible for an insane amount of some of the greatest UK comedy since the 90's, including the writing and production of 'The Day Today' which spawned Alan Partridge and the Partridge multiverse, 'The Thick Of It', 'Time Trumpet', and US based 'Veep', Armando is clearly a titan of the game. With his new production 'The Death Of Stalin' (in cinemas NOW!), he's been grinding it out on the media promo run, but is sharp as a katana as he sits down with Pip for a nice long chat covering all the necessary bases and loads more that you'd hope to hear about, including said promo run grind and the madness of it all, especially seeing your own film countless times, being mindful of not using the victims of the subject of his film for comedy and finding that material from many various other sources, social media and how the echo chamber is reinforced and debate is fading, how the film draws parallels with today's US presidency even though it was filmed months before Trump's election win, and how to successfully wrangle an all star cast in order to promote efficiency on set. Tons more obviously but yeah, super entertaining and a must for Armando fans and those who appreciate the craft of writing and production.

WELCOME, WELCOME, WELCOME to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! Thank you for tuning in and opting to enrich your Wednesday's listening choices - you shan't regret it. Bigups of the highest order. Another smash episode for your DPP enjoyment - this week's show is pure UK comedy goodness from a true great - yes indeed, it's Russell Howard!Powerful chat goodness right here from the fellas, getting right into it from beginning to end with only the briefest of pauses for some dog wrangling and cup of tea making. Keeping the conversation effortlessly diverse, Pip and Russell keep it moving in fine fashion touching on everything from Russell kicking off his huge standup shows with one of Dan and Pip's songs, the emotive issue of self harm among young women and how to address it and raise attention to it in comic parameters, being a certified 'Weird Crush' (congratulations...?), how to take your audience with you through perhaps more serious subject matter without losing them along the way (which requires the deftest of hands), intelligence, awareness, good deeds, social media, UK politics (and worldwide, of course, the obvious weirdness of Madame Tussauds, tied up nicely with some in depth explanation on his various TV shows - more currently, 'The Russell Howard Hour', on Sky1. A truly positive and perfectly balanced conversation, branching out to some rich areas of interest for certain - you'll enjoy this one, get on board!––––– ––––– –––––This episode's links:• RUSSELL on TWITTER!• RUSSELL on THE INTERNET!• 'THE RUSSELL HOWARD HOUR' on SKY1!• Follow the show on TWITTER!• RUSSELL on FACEBOOK!• SCROOBIUS PIP on TWITTER!• SCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAM!• SPEECH DEVELOPMENT RECORDS • DISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on FACEBOOK• DISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on INSTAGRAM• NEW LISTENERS TAKE NOTE!!!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! A pleasure to have you on board. Welcome thricely to listeners long term (Team 3W) and new skool, consider yourselves all tripley welcomed. So let's crack this one open eh? A blockbuster of an episode this week, as Pip sits down for a face to face chat with pure acting royalty Michael Fassbender!Far from the a short 3 minute press-junket soundbite interview, Pip has some quality real life facetime with Michael, who is (at the time of this podcast release) out there grinding on the promo for his new film 'The Snowman', directed by Tomas Alfredson and adapted from the novel by Jo Nesbø. A wonderful and warm chat, as we discover what Michael has been doing in the past year (racing Ferraris and surfing), but also get deep into the whole business - how he was born in Germany and was subsequently moved to Ireland at 2, his love of travel and how the acting profession broadens that experience hugely, how his career path could have branched off into an entirely alternate universe, and all manner of satisfying, filling movie gossip and insider knowledge. Safe to say then that this episode is pure Distraction Pieces goodness for your soul and being. Get involved, and if you feel it, get OTHERS involved too!

Welcome welcome welcome to episode ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY ONE of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! Thank you for tuning in, as always - your attention shall be rewarded handsomely, as is the DPP standard. A real lovely one this week as Pip properly catches up with his old mate and TV presenting legend Helen Chamberlain!"No-one knows if I jumped of if I was pushed..."Of course MANY of you will be well acquainted with Helen from her epic and heroic stint on Soccer AM (and will naturally still be heartbroken by her absence there), but to those of you who are unfamiliar - and those of you who know her solely from Soccer AM - this is a true breakdown of her career and how every step along the way has "accidentally" led to the next. From her current position looking after a seemingly unending crew of animals on her farm (rescue dogs - which you will hear from, alpacas, llamas, boars, ponies, horses, chickens and for sure there are more than that), which was preceded by her run on the chaotic and awesome and also very zoo-like Soccer AM (which changed and influenced the TV game in huge ways), she has been sports and animal-adjacent for a good portion of said career.

Welcome, Welcome, Welcome! To what? Come on now. You know what it is. You are now tuned into the ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTIETH episode of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! As custom dictates, it's another smash, and another long overdue meeting at that - please tripley welcome Hugo White of The Maccabees! (aka Pip's new/long time best mate!)Since destroying their recent farewell gig schedule, The Maccabees have been exploring all manner of individual and collaborative paths - it was an extremely heavy, emotional time but has left them with a world of creativity open to them. Hugo has made the absolute most of this, with the Maccas studio leaving an open door to him and his ideas, and here you can hear him relate to Pip (and YOU!) how his world has changed since the amiable disbanding. It's fascinating to hear he and Pip exchange notes on how long it takes to make songs, how these songs get tightened up to perfection in the touring process long after the album's release, fashioning a studio from a laptop to a fully furnished elaborate ordeal, daytime radio play and what that means exactly, the Brighton scene, how Hugo and his brother have become ambassadors of the MS Society, all underpinned by Pip's long running mantra which should be carved in stone somewhere - "it's not the gigs we get paid for, it's everything else..." - travel, inconvenience, all that... And you'll hear everything else all of that entails of course...Get involved! I'm sure Pip will dig out a childhood photo of him, Kate Nash, Hugo White, Adele and Jack Penate in playschool at some point too - right Pip?••••• HUGO on TWITTER! - https://twitter.com/hugowhitenoise••••• HUGO on INSTAGRAM! - https://www.instagram.com/hugowhitenoise••••• THE MACCABEES! - www.themaccabees.co.uk/••••• THE MS SOCIETY - https://www.mssociety.org.uk/•••••••••• SCROOBIUS PIP on TWITTER! - https://twitter.com/Scroobiuspipyo•••••••••• SCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAM! - https://www.instagram.com/scroobiuspipyo•••••••••• SPEECH DEVELOPMENT RECORDS – https://scroobiuspip.backstreetmerch.com•••••••••• FOLLOW AND ENJOY!!!

WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip, episode 169 at that! They are racking up aren't they... My my my... You may have heard Pip hyping this one up for a minute, and quite rightly so - ladies and gentlemen, please welcome journalist, author, writer, Souad Mekhennet!A huge episode here, as Pip sits down with Souad for a nice good while to really get into her own story... And what a deep, heavy and truly daring life she has led, from beginning to present day - hear her recall some chills-inducing tales and truly unique meetings, from getting in deep into situations with Isis commanders, her interview with 'Jihadi John', and her career covering all manner of terrorist activities over the years, and SO much more, made all the more fascinating due to her being Muslim and female, which positions her uniquely for her line of writing and interviewing. It's also fascinating hearing her thoughts on what creates a perfect situation for men to become radicalised, and how it can mainly stem from a broken family life. This is an absolutely gripping conversation, to which this writeup would never do justice, and it's a wonderful commentary companion to her book 'I Was Told To Come Alone', which you should (and I'm sure will) snap up at your nearest convenience. Powerful.

WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME one and all, newcomers and oldtimers, to the super powerful and ultra plush Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! Now you have been officially and entirely welcomed, let's get you good and settled into this week's episode - and what a heavy hitter it is... Yes indeed - this week Pip is joined by EDDIE IZZARD!Comedian, actor, marathon man and all round champ Eddie takes time from his current press junket to sit down with Pip for a proper chat - not a three minute soundbiter, no no no... This is a wonderful one, covering - of course - his current film 'Victoria And Abdul' (alongside acting royalty Dame Judi Dench), which triggers all manner of talking points in bright and breezy fashion... Some amazing facts and gossip about the true story behind the film are revealed, and later Eddie talks candidly about his insane marathon running achievements and the mindset involved, and of course his standup career gets a good going over - all this tied in with a truly inspiring look at his transgender identification and all that has entailed over the years.Comprehensive to say the very least - get into it, enjoy and share it at your nearest opportunity!••••• EDDIE on TWITTER! - https://twitter.com/eddieizzard••••• EDDIE on INSTAGRAM! - https://www.instagram.com/eddieizzard••••• EDDIE on THE INTERNET! - www.eddieizzard.com/••••• 'VICTORIA AND ABDUL' - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BT2Ph_9bGPs•••••••••• SCROOBIUS PIP on TWITTER! - https://twitter.com/Scroobiuspipyo•••••••••• SCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAM! - https://www.instagram.com/scroobiuspipyo•••••••••• SPEECH DEVELOPMENT RECORDS – https://scroobiuspip.backstreetmerch.com•••••••••• FOLLOW AND ENJOY!!!

A triple welcome upon you to this, the 167th episode of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! A very merry Wednesday to you all (assuming you are the Team 3W first responders - if that's not the case, a very merry whatever day it is). A huge one this week, as Pip is joined by young acting heavyweight Will Poulter!In the midst of his current promo run for Kathryn Bigelow's 'Detroit', Will takes time to sit down with Pip for a long overdue chat covering - as you will have come to expect from the DPP - a crazy large number of bases... From the issues raised in portraying a violently racist policeman in 'Detroit' (and the poignancy of the film itself), a powerful back and forth is triggered with Pip and Will, which is the beauty of films like this and how an open discussion can be had which leads into so much more besides - race, politics, society, it's all here. On top of that, you'll hear his tale from the very early days back in 'School Of Comedy' and how his young foot in the acting world's door gave him the necessary inspiration for a full on career, Will drops some gems from his unique perspective on his experience with acting and his ascent from those younger days right up to 'Son Of Rambow', 'The Maze Runner' and 'The Revenant', the latter of which had him up alongside Leonardo Di Caprio and Tom Hardy no less. A rich and diverse filmography right there, which has in many ways freed him from his somewhat reductive nickname of 'that Weird Eyebrow Actor'. Get yourself involved, it's a goodie and as interesting as it is entertaining. And for the love of gawd go see 'Detroit'!••••• WILL on TWITTER! - https://twitter.com/PoulterWill••••• WILL on INSTAGRAM! - https://www.instagram.com/willpoulter••••• WILL on IMDB! - www.imdb.com/name/nm2401020/••••• 'DETROIT' - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFeWsDpy9y0•••••••••• SCROOBIUS PIP on TWITTER! - https://twitter.com/Scroobiuspipyo•••••••••• SCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAM! - https://www.instagram.com/scroobiuspipyo•••••••••• SPEECH DEVELOPMENT RECORDS – https://scroobiuspip.backstreetmerch.com•••••••••• FOLLOW AND ENJOY!!!

Welcome, Welcome, Welcome to episode 166 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! Thank you for tuning in, people - you are most welcome (I refer you back to the three welcomes about 30 words ago) and it is a pleasure to have you here. In return for your attendance, consider yourself fully blessed and uplifted by the presence of this week's wonderful guest - it's Ireland's own comedian, actress and writer Aisling Bea!Such a warm and funny chat with Pip and self-proclaimed "gritty little grafter" Aisling, ranging a whole ton of topics and tangents including her very equestrian-centric upbringing, Ireland fame, the frenetic job-to-job work-pace, celebrity and coming to terms early on with the fact that co-stars are mere people too, drama versus comedy, the audition process and how the notoriously merciless LA scene can be cracked by the outsiders, and the balance of the infamous UK panel show which rounds out in a brilliant back and forth centred on feminism and male emotion, and how the two can be at such odds - from then on it's a grand finale which you'll want to chip in on (feel free to of course!) covering vulnerability, pride, male and female instinct and ahh damn, just so much more... Of course you don't want any of it spoiled pre-listen now do you - so just get stuck into this glorious episode and enjoy the company of your new best friend Aisling Bea!••••• AISLING on TWITTER! - https://twitter.com/WeeMissBea••••• AISLING on INSTAGRAM! - https://instagram.com/weemissbea••••• AISLING on THE INTERNET! - http://www.aislingbea.com•••••••••• SCROOBIUS PIP on TWITTER! - https://twitter.com/Scroobiuspipyo•••••••••• SCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAM! - https://www.instagram.com/scroobiuspipyo•••••••••• SPEECH DEVELOPMENT RECORDS – https://scroobiuspip.backstreetmerch.com•••••••••• FOLLOW AND ENJOY!!!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode 165 of the rich, creamy and ever so delicious Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! A long awaited episode at that, as Pip is joined by Rebecca from Ben & Jerry's ice cream and Melanie from the incredible International Rescue Committee! Imagine that... Yes indeed, all those references to those forward thinking ice cream pioneers Ben & Jerry on all those DrunkCasts, the Instagram posts, the tweets... Well it looks like they have opened a big, frosty freezer door for our frozen treat-loving host, as he got to join the gang for a wonderful chat - and most definitely NOT limited to ice-cream either...Fighting through the perils of a corrupted file situation in a previous visit, Pip managed to arrange a meet with Rebecca and Melanie for a second recording deep in the Slough B&J barn. Of course Pip got to taste test some of the goods within, but the chat side of the meetup is where the magic happens - listen to the history of the company itself, setup by two brilliant hippies in Burlington (who are sure to be subjects in a movie at some point), to how it's all made and the ethics of the ingredients (the brownie story is wonderful), to the awesome campaigns that the company stand behind which echo the political leanings of Ben and Jerry themselves. This is not a sponsored episode at all, and it's fascinating to hear how a big company can have a genuinely ethical and very well meaning, evolved and inclusive side to them. You'll hear all about it - this one's a gem, so much ice-cream nerd business and some really inspiring causes and subjects to dig yer spoon into. And here's to a Pip flavour soon, eh?

TEAM 3W long termers and first timers, stand UP! Or remain seated. It truly is your call. Just get yourself comfortable really. The reason is this: EPISODE 164 of the DISTRACTION PIECES PODCAST with SCROOBIUS PIP is knocking at your door PRESENTLY! Look alive, fix up, look sharp also - as this week we welcome thricely the wonderful Danish comedy firecracker Sofie Hagen!True brilliance right here, and a surefire pick me up from the potential mid-week slumps that may be facing you - it could be that your week is flying by without hassle, and that is also perfect, as Sofie will raise you higher and higher still! Starting off with a nice run of television chat (leaping from recommendation to recommendation - stay focused!), which leads to her firm interest in the arts at an early age, hear how Sofie's spirit took her through all manner of jobs, including a charity call centre where she learned a good amount about interaction in a high pressure environment, right up to her somewhat surprising introduction into the comedy world. It was an introduction pretty much based entirely on her awesome and very unique personality and sense of humour, which you shall bear witness to right here - and SO much more besides, way too much to list here, being a no spoiler zone and all... Also interesting to hear how she deals with potentially anxious situations in her audience too, and how she tries to make preparations for these prior to the performance. Awesome stuff.

Welcome, welcome, welcome, yes indeed Team 3W, it's another one... Episode 163 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip awaits your immediate attention - and it's a smash as always this week as we warmly welcome the wonderful Laurie Penny to the recording apparatus!A full on in depth heavy hitter right here, as Laurie and Pip go in on all manner of pertinent social and political topics - from the white male's position of privilege in society, to matters involving Trump and how it might be best to adopt a 'cold take' approach as opposed to the 'hot take' which we have become so accustomed to with Twitter at our fingertips, her columns and blogging career, journalism and just a whole awesome range of enlightening excellence.

A rousing three-part welcome to you and yours as we enter the one hundred and sixtieth episode of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! You never thought Pip's pod would take it this far... Nah that can't be true - that was just a crowbarred-in Biggie reference. Nevertheless - here's a VERY juicy episode right here featuring the UK rap gawd and multi-talented all rounder Doc Brown!A full on massive chat here as Pip and Doc catch up on all monosyllabic matters (and polysyllabic, come on now) from the early days of the Doc Brown beginnings right up to the present. And what a journey it is - maybe you know him from his appearances on Ricky Gervais's 'Derek', his legendary 'Slang 101' rap (a Youtube firestarter), his rap career in general, his early days in the Deal Real scene way back when, his presenting skills (and awesome fill-in on the Radio 5 Live film reviews - hello to Jason Isaac), and now author... Well, whichever discipline from which you know the Doc, prepare for a wonderful trip down that path and a real treat of a talk, from two people who have been there, done that and can give you the backstory directors commentary on the whole science...

Team 3W where you at? Three welcomes delivered to your doorstep as ever, as we straighten out the doormat and hoover the hallway to this week's Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip - it's episode 157! A heavy one at that, and certainly one that will hit home with a good few of you, or shine a light on some parts of the armed forces that perhaps you may not have been familiar with previously. Here to deliver such science is Wayne Sharrocks - film maker, public speaker and campaigner, but more importantly, he served in the British Army for a good seven years or so, and is therefore more than qualified to deliver the insider perspective on the armed forces and process of becoming a soldier from start to end.A big subject to tackle, an emotive and provocative one too, and Wayne and Pip don't mess around with this - it's a honest and frank discussion which hits upon the whole sphere of national defence, ranging from the reasons why one might sign up, the age of new recruits (and why currently that may not be such a wise choice), what the new recruit might face upon entry and how the internal hierarchy works, the journey to a warzone, what happens then, and being in the immediate vicinity of soldiers who make the ultimate sacrifice (which Wayne has experienced up close).This sets the tone and context for an inspiring and positive talk about whether or not this is right for most people, whether a younger recruit is in the correct frame of mind to engage in such a heavy and intensive process, and how interaction in civilian society can be a very real issue for those who have served and become so intimately involved with the armed forces and the framework within.A deeply interesting discussion, and Wayne shares his points of view, experience and wisdom articulately and honestly, which will leave you with much to consider and unpack. And certainly an insight into how some of the army slang works too... Spoiler: it's not safe for work.••••• WAYNE on TWITTER! – http://www.twitter.com/wsharrocks••••• WAYNE on INSTAGRAM! - https://instagram.com/waynesharrocks••••• WAYNE on YOUTUBE! - https://www.youtube.com/c/waynesharrocks••••• WAYNE'S WEBSITE! - http://www.waynesharrocks.com•••••••••• SCROOBIUS PIP on TWITTER! - https://twitter.com/Scroobiuspipyo•••••••••• SCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAM! - https://www.instagram.com/scroobiuspipyo•••••••••• SPEECH DEVELOPMENT RECORDS – https://scroobiuspip.backstreetmerch.com•••••••••• FOLLOW AND ENJOY!!!

Welcome, Welcome, Welcome to YOU - and three times welcomed you are to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip, episode 156 at that! A proper filfy drum n' bass banger right here this week too as Pip is joined FINALLY after a long bout of scheduling and planning by the one and only, the Metalhead himself, the UK's national drum & bass treasure - Goldie!"The barbarians from within will raise their heads and rise the deities..." ...and that's one single quote from this absolutely ram packed and intense juggernaught rollercoaster of an episode, as Pip white-knuckles the railing and hold on for dear life as the whirlwind rolls through town and demolishes all in its path! The whirlwind being Goldie, that is. I'm sure you gathered that. Finding his home out in Phuket these days, the path has been rocky, full on, winding and incredible and Goldie has lived through it all - the raves, the graf days out in the Bronx, early days of techno, being a household name in what they used to call 'intelligent drum & bass' with his smash hit 'Inner City Life', a rugged divorce, heavy personal life events including the passing of his mother, and every single second underpinned by his unending appetite for his craft and music making. A fantastic and thrilling ride of an episode, which will make you want to dig out the back catalogue and reminisce over the past while waiting for his new album 'The Journey Man' to download... As Goldie put it himself; "There are no full stops in my life... At all..."Oh and wait for the American and German accents later on.

Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back to PART 2 of episode 155 of DPP (as we can call it now since you're all familiar from part 1) with Scroobius Pip! How great was part 1 eh? Well find that comfortable spot with your nominated listening apparatus from a few hours ago and prepare to be doubly satisfied as you enjoy the second part with CHRISTOPHER FAIRBANK!So much goodness, as Christopher gets deep into the acting science with past and previous, and rounds up this episode with some phenomenal tales from the sets of the original Tim Burton 'Batman' and David Fincher's 'Alien 3'... Those anecdotes alone could well make their own episodes, some crazy business by the sounds of things! Absolute madness. Besides that, there's a ton more to uncover, with personal philosophies, morals, experiences, lessons, so much to ensure that you keep checking for Christopher's work from here on out and back into the past. Amazing stuff from a true stage and screen veteran.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode 155 of the fresh, fly, wild and bold DISTRACTION PIECES PODCAST with Scroobius Pip! Hopefully you have found a comfortable spot and your phone is fully charged, or at least at like 35% minimum or thereabouts (or your iPod or however you go about your business), and you are ready for a grand double part dose of goodness as Pip is joined by acting heavyweight Christopher Fairbank!With a rich and varied career in front of the camera, Clavering's own Christopher obviously has a ton of tales to share and good lord you're gonna get some here... He and Pip find time to sit down and "set the chat among the pigeons" (word to Alan Partridge) and get down and dirty in the earlier years of Christopher's life. While he has many a tale to tell about the acting side of things, you'll love his rundown of his early life and growing up - a full on cinematic narrative in itself, combining boarding schools, smoking at an insanely early age, discovering acting instincts on stage through...

Welcome welcome welcome to your 154th episode of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! And that is an actual factual statement as Pip has been on each and every one, without fail, sometimes more than once a week at that. So it's actually MORE than 154 really... But anyway - let's get down to business. Another wonderful actor-based chat this week as Pip sits down with one of Liverpool's finest Mr NEIL FITZMAURICE, actor, comedian, writer and more!Neil and Pip find themselves working alongside one another currently on a new film called 'Walk Like A Panther' (which has been announced so this can be referred to by name!), and make use of the canteen on-set to have a full on, broad-ranging and hugely entertaining discussion covering the whole lot - politics and the current electoral situation, the Hillsborough tragedy which hit Neil very personally and comprehensively in a number of ways, his upbringing and early life where his playwright seeds were sewn, right up to his acting career which found...

Welcome. Welcome. And you know what? You've earned it. Welcome. Now we're done with the formalities, consider yourself appropriately welcomed to your ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THIRD episode of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! One fiddy three. Imagine that. In a drastic change to last week's solo spoken word episode, Pip has some real life company this week, and as such this is a truly golden episode - ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy the shining ray of light that is Sofia Boutella!One of those incredibly inspirational episodes where the conversation really drives through some lovely terrain, and you'll enjoy where this journey takes you for real. Sofia is currently all over the place (as Pip witnessed via the medium of the good old American billboard) with her new blockbuster 'The Mummy' on release (co-starring some fella whose first name is Tom, that's all the info we have at this point), but you may well know her from her varied work in 'Star Trek', 'Kingsman', and killing it in an...

Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode 152 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! In a slight alteration to the usual proceedings to which we have all become so accustomed, the guest this week is SCROOBIUS PIP his goddamn self!Working with the formula of such Speech Development Records releases such as 'At Home With Polar' (Polarbear) or 'At Home With Rob' (Rob Auton), Pip sat down in his temporary residence up in Los Angeles and recorded a selection of his poems read from his book 'Poetry In (e)Motion', the graphic poetry novel released all the way back in 2010. Pip's been crazy busy with all manner of podcast and acting related activity of late, over the past couple of years in fact, so this is a very cool opportunity to sit in with your host and indulge in some non 'Ask Pip' episode company for a change! No spoilers as to what you'll be treated to here, but it's a fantastic episode and a different one to usual. It's a goody for the original Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip heads, the solo Pip...

Welcome welcome welcome to episode 151 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! Very happy to have you aboard. This week is a straight up New Yorican banger, as Pip is joined by the infamous, the notorious, the Fun Lovin' Criminal himself Mister Huey Morgan!A long awaited one right here, as Pip has forged a friendship with Huey over the years so a chat was always on the cards between these two. From his days misbehaving in New York back in the day (now currently causing havoc in Somerset!), to joining the Marines and channeling his inner aggression into more positive areas, to bartending and setting up a band which would later lead to an illustrious music career, all peppered with real life madness - living through 9/11, a standoff with a Hanson member (and close relation), and that appearance on Never Mind The Buzzcocks. Huey is a powerful presence in the music industry and whether you've been down since Fun Lovin' Criminals or picked up on him through his 6 Music show, you'll get a lot out... Hosted on Acast.

And by way of thanks - enjoy this marvelous episode of golf talk with the long awaited guest ANDREW 'BEEF' JOHNSTON!He didn't receive the nickname from a love of beef, or for that matter for having beef with anyone (as you'll hear, it's hard to imagine him having beef with anyone in the world), but from - ahh, you'll have to hear for yourself now won't ya... A lovely chat from a truly loveable character who you may know, and of course may not - either way, as with the Distraction Pieces code, its not about the popularity in the grand media scheme of things, but what kind of interview Pip...

WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME once again three more times to your weekly dose of Distraction Pieces Podcast in mp3 format from up in the sky somewhere directly to your earpieces! This week your host Scroobius Pip is joined by none other than his old pal and script/screenwriter Kelly Marcel!A crazy story right here which Kelly unfolds for you, not before she relays how she rescued a fearless but accident prone squirrel and nursed it back to bitey and aggro health... From her days back in the book corner at school (a punishment area, not for recreation) up to her days in the video store hanging with a then fairly green Tom Hardy, and her reasons for ending up there which involved a not so supportive school system, hear how she became a full on fully qualified silver screen smash through various acting jobs (of COURSE The Bill is involved!), up to her crossing paths with the director of all directors himself Stephen Spielberg. The story gets no less intense or full on from there on, as she barrels through such... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Being pals for many a year from the early days, rocking tours together and just being genuine mates who talk and do stuff together, they have a lot to ramble about and many bases are covered - the craft itself, the makers and doers, how they got where they are, what they're up to now, life, love, the universe, the whole thing.

As such, you are rewarded with another bunch of boozed up business from our bubbly brethren as they tackle a LOT of MMA/UFC and fight talk - a lot - which is bookended with some more podcast talk and a lil' section on relationship chatter sparked by some recent comments from Scarlett Johannson. There is also a rather noisy crescendo to this episode, so just be prepared for your ears and even those around you - it gets messy. You know the routine. Come on, this is the final part of the podcast where Pip gets drunk with two of his mates. What else did you expect?Good work folks, you did grand! Congratulations on grabbing these three DrunkCasts.
