Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by charming and very funny comic PAUL FOOT!A very cool gathering of Pip and Paul, celebrating all things fun and funny in an interesting perspective of glancing through the prism of it all. It's a lovely addition to the Paul lover's collection but as always on here, a great primer for those yet uninitiated. Among the topical birdsnest you can expect chat incoporating the old chestnut of London travel zones (of particular interest to anyone living outside of London), living in a 'Shire, the art of the featured crowd member, starting out in comedy, mental health, doing time up at the Edinburgh Fringe and embodiment - and perhaps even a hint of over-embodiment? You be the judge! A lovely fireside chat vibe, you'll love it.PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureDISSOLVE - new showPAUL FOOT ONLINEINSTAGRAMXMELBOURNE COMEDY FESTSPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMPIP TWITTERPIP PATREONPIP IMDBPOD BIBLE Hosted on Acast.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by fabulous writer, comic and podcaster SOPHIE DUKER!Right from jump, this episode vetures into the good stuff - just assume the warm up pleasantries were taken care of before the recording started, as this comes in hot! An excellent episode with Pip and Sophie untangling a ton of the world's weirdness and ugliness but somehow finding some beauty in amongs the wreckage. It can feel imposible at times but hopefully you'll also find some silver linings with this great chat. A ton of ground covered, and don't forget that you can catch up with Sophie up at the Edinburgh Fringe (dates below) in August for a healthy dose of the good stuff in the 'But Daddy I Love Her' show.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the brilliant comic, writer, actor and author ROB DELANEY!Rob's presence was really made clear back in the glory days of the innocent social media platform Twitter, when such activities felt more playful and fun, and podcasting was still formulating and developing. Since then he's truly made it obvious why such a presence is necessary, as a wearer of many hats in the comic-leaning section of the greater media world. You'll hear about Rob's more recent projects, including his character development in Deadpool & Wolverine, his book where he writes openly about dearly departed son Henry, social media, the NHS, politics (where do you start) and so much more - a delicate balance of fun and moving which will really enrich your listening day.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip chats acting in THE ACOLYTE and HOUSE OF THE DRAGON, acompanied by Hardcore Listing homie CHRIS GLASSON!It might have been tricky for Pip to interview himself to talk about recent acting roles in two of the biggest franchises in media history (Star Wars and Game Of Thrones EVER HEARD OF THEM), so he has enlisted the help of fellow podcasting pal and general pal Chris from Hardcore Listing to do the honours. It's a great little chat from a side of the curtain we don't always get to see behind, and definitely a couple of roles worth stopping to observe and celebrate. Enjoy this awesome conversation about how the whole thing went down, progressed and wrapped up. ENJOY!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the fabulous comic (stage and sketch), writer and podcaster STEVIE MARTIN!A glorious comical conversation with Pip and Stevie, who is someone to keep up with in the current comedy scene for real. You can actually make a start on that this year if you're in Edinburgh at the Fringe so be alert for that! Stevie made a huge name around the pandemical times via some inspired and hilarious sketch work (often in collaboration with the awesome Lola-Rose Maxwell), but it was more like a natural phenomenon that was waiting to happen. Stevie's been on the grind for a while now and this chat hints at the hard work involved, including building of audiences, podcasting, Fringe madness, journalism, sketch writing and directing, the online forest, ad work, ComComPod, and so much more.

Yeah that sounds fine to me… But yeah, everything from then to now, including what she is doing THIS VERY MOMENT, and by that of course I mean starring in the simultaneously hilariously funny and brutally honest Feel Good (well, coming in March), which looks set to blow up worldwide. So expect to hear it all from how to view the series (best served binged), the weirdness of editing trailers, getting the correct audience, Canada (Oh Canada), the process of getting a set together, Mae the character and Mae the person, sex scenes and writing a proudly LGBT show, humanising addition, the casting process, digging deep into personal history and the transition from Canada to London but SO MUCH MORE of course.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by esteemed filmmaker JEFF NICHOLS!Jeff's work speaks for itself, as a cursory glance at his IMDB page will surely reveal. In speaking for itself, this means basically that you see a list of films he's worked on that is essentially wall-to-wall bangers to put it bluntly. You'll also see connective tissue by way of powerfully great actor Michael Shannon, who is a through-line in Jeff's cinematic output. This chat is a really nice and easy back and forth with Pip and Jeff, getting into aspects of casting, storytelling, detail, adaptation and the enigmatic inside to outside world of actors. OH and also a bonus two part question from a very highly rated actor who you'll be very excited to hear from, trust us. No spoilers. Enjoy this one, it's a sureshot for anyone of a cinematic leaning, and those who appreciate the mysterious art of film making.PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureTHE BIKERIDERSIMDBMUBI LINKMIDNIGHT SPECIALPIPSTARTER for AREA OF OUTSTANDING NATURAL BEAUTYSPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMPIP TWITTERPIP PATREONPIP IMDBPOD BIBLE Hosted on Acast.

This was their first appearance on Distraction Pieces, the first of many it would turn out, and is one of the episodes you might have heard Pip cite many a time on subsequent episodes. One thing to bear in mind is that this is from almost 10 years ago at this point, and at this point in history we are now at episode 570+. So as you can well imagine, a LOT has been discussed since, much has been learned, many perspectives have been sharpened and multiplied, and we've seen a huge amount happening in the intervening years. Keep this in mind while listening, but also as Jordan has had some incredible leaps and bounds career-wise.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by comic, actor, writer and podcaster SARA BARRON!If you're a long-term DPP listener this is an episode that will just be a pure snack treat for you, and likely you will be well on your merry way listening right now without even glancing at this write-up (as you will surely know Sara and if not, her circle of pals). BUT - if you are not familiar with Sara, prepare for a very fun, open and generally 'good business' episode with someone who is well versed and sharp in all aspects of the game (be it acting, podcasting, comedy and so on). One of the main threads linking it together is TV shows, but you'll hear goodies involving comedy and Fringe shows (including the ups and downs of all that), and all the other facets of Sara's world.

Sorry - let me correct that - Baron Cashman CBE!An amazing meeting this week with Pip and Michael, a man whose experience and knowledge will come shining through immediately upon listening. As a founder of Stonewall (with Ian McKellen), ex-member of European Parliament, activist and former actor (those of us who grew up on Eastenders will remember him as Colin), his life has been a genuine document of ups and downs, highs and lows, but all navigated with love, conviction and positivity. His story is moving, uplifting and at times incredibly unfair, but as you will hear - from all of this, pure goodness has been his reward. Over 30 years of his journey has been underpinned by long term partner Paul, who is unfortunately no longer with us but as you’ll hear, is spoken of by Michael with such love and compassion and it’s pretty much impossible to not be stirred by - well, the whole conversation, let’s be frank. The rest is yours to discover - listen, learn, and become better acquainted with a strong force for good in the world.

Michelle catches us up on a ton of things past and present, including all of the hard edges along with the gooey centres, such as class and money, unknowingly homeless, modeling, luck vs hustle, production of a show and the team behind it, representing South London and elevating it to go against the cliche, comedy, and loads more. A lot to cram into around an hour but that's a lovely problem to have.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by creative / creator and Twitch legend JAMES HOUSTON aka 1030 for a very special episode...Those more up on the Twitch universe will know 1030 for sure as the hands-on tech creator who is very much a part of the greater community of good people over there. He met Pip via the platform, and over the years has secured a beautiful bond which - to cut to the chase - has resulted in the two of them crafting a blueprint for a film! This film, 'Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty (A Long Short Film)' is now available to support on Kickstarter, with all information in the link and a bunch in the podcast itself. On the podcast, you'll hear more about the finer details of how the financial process will work, along with what the plan is for the film and all of that good stuff. There's so much happening on this one, primarly geared around the film but also about the working history of James / 1030, media, the film world and so much more, as well as a true genuine bonus treat at the end which is unlike nothing else you've ever heard. Certainly within the realms of Distraction Pieces anyway. Support the Kickstarter and get involved if it's within your means, and otherwise shout far and wide about this one!

Things kick off with candy eating techniques (never not niche over here), and include Fringe experiences / expectations / realities, her Makeaway Takeaway show on CITV and how that started and concluded, wrestling practice, a multitude of show pitches, and the podcasting life.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by activist, Twitch pro and all round treasure from Scotland PICKLEBEE aka BETH DOUGLAS!You may have seen the word Twitch just there and perhaps figured that this would be a podcast all about Twitch. Dear listener this is indeed not the case, and to ignore on that basis is to ignore an extremely fascinating, deep and also FUN chat with the wonderful Picklebee! It's a pretty far and wide ranging one, which goes into Beth's own history and experience of being a trans person in this wild world, activism and politics - Scottish and otherwise, JK Rowling's eerily unquenchable thirst for losing out loud, the mostly safe-space of Twitch and harbouring a community on there, social media and also the origins of the name Picklebee which I'm sure you're curious about...

With the massive Netflix show 'Three Body Problem' making all kinds of waves of late, it's good to catch him on yet another ascent into the stratosphere but also really cool to hear how things have been going since the last time. And indeed, since the beginning of the acting career. A joy as always, as John's friendly voice takes you through all sorts of elements encountered in the world of cinema and television, including his range of roles, exposure to new waves of audiences, Game Of Thrones, pretending, growing through experience, and all sorts more.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined for a second time by the zen master actor ED SKREIN!Dedicated listeners will remember the refrain of Ed's original appearance on here - "Why the fuck not?" - a mantra that will hopefully have provided a nice ass-kicking to get things done, or motivation to make some things happen. Well here is the very cool, calm and collected Ed back again to chat about so much but somewhat centrally revolving around the actorial sciences. They have a bunch of shared ground, and it's really nice to hear what Ed's been up to since that initial appearance, and what life has looked like since the beginning of the journey back in 2010 or so. A huge amount of ground that cannot be synopsised here so just jump in and trust that you'll enjoy the ride.

Although it's very fair to say that a good amount of chat is devoted to their new book 'Will I Ever Have Sex Again?', which is some essential reading for a huge amount of people.

Really cool stuff, going in on such topics as how it feels releasing a new album, performing and stage craft as a new parent, rhythms of life, peopke coming to shows for him and not just the music, songwriting, how grime does well in the room, energy, and being part of a self-appointed Mt.

You might know John and Joel from their own film podcast called Dream Factory (the world's greatest user-generated movie creation podcast), which Pip is a true fan of and contributor to, but if not, here is your chance to get to know them and become fast friends! This podcast goes appropriately deep into the television shows of the year in a hugely positive way, but of course you'll hear about some of the trials and tribulations of being such big devourers of content - the endless options of platforms, the accessibility of them all, and everything else... But really it's a perfect way to get up to speed on the things you might have missed, and also hear people chat about the shows that we all loved throughout the year. Who knows what 2024 has in store for us... But really - who cares? This is 2023 right here!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the incredible film maker and director GARETH EDWARDS!Gareth is responsible for some of the most visually impressive movies in recent memory, and his story stems from creating lo-fi special effects on a consumer-grade bedroom PC. You've llikely seen the recent 'The Creator', and maybe you were in on the ground floor with 'Monsters', but Gareth has a huge amount of productions to his name, many of which come up in this chat. A chat which covers loads of ground - his younger days film interests propelled by his parents, sci fi analogies and parables, respecting classics as you get older, big companies following his lead, unique budgeting attitudes, the Peter Jackson technique, the problem with 'pre-vis', and so much more. The question is, will it make Ryan jealous? Find out more inside! Enjoy.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by one of Scotland's finest, the acting heavyweight that is PETER CAPALDI!Depending on where you caught Peter on his timeline, you may know him as Malcolm Tucker, Dr Who, or even Oldsen if you've seen Local Hero. Point is - Peter's been busy for decades, and continues to be so. He's also an awesome hang, as you will find out as Pip gets a good hour or so in his company. They get into all sorts, including of course the roles and acting experiences, but also the wide world of culture wars and nonsence arguments, problems with leadership, maintaining good vibes on set, London as a crime backdrop, the greatness of Glasgow, Lewis Capaldi and his relation to him, making diorama studios as a kid, and the hand of destiny in his acting career. NOT avoiding the hypetrain for the show brought to you by he and his wife, Criminal Record on Apple TV! So much to enjoy.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by acting great KINGSLEY BEN-ADIR!A very good time to catch Ben, as he's been on a whirlwind promo run for Bob Marley: One Love of late - but this is someone who would have been a Distraction Pieces guest soon enough, whatever the weather... Don't let the low-key tea-drinking nature fool you for a second, this is a busy person who has been grinding for a minute. The journey's been long and winding, with an early route to be found in acting which was a perfect alignment at that age and juncture, with a ton of work between those early days and now. Not only do we have a pre-Bob role in Barbie to look into, we get to hear all about playing the role as Bob Marley, and the weight of such a role is not lost on him for a second. From meeting the family and friends to being party to the original demos, and the history of the band, and so much more. It sounds like a wild film to be at the front of. Oh and cold water swimming makes an appearance too!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by stuntperson and all round beam of light DAVD HOLMES!You might have come to know David through the documentary 'The Boy Who Lived', which goes into great detail about his life and the path that led to his stunt work and career in the industry. If you have indeed seen it, you'll know that he's someone who has been through some immense experiences, and lived through one literally life changing one. But David hasn't disappeared from the light or retreated, when it might seem like an entirely understandable reaction. He's gained power and confidence through the strong friendships and relationships he made in his film career, and this has fueled his evolution in no small part, into where he currently finds himself. This is an awesome conversation with someone whose outlook will inspire and delight, and as David himself says, he is "handi-capable, not handicapped". Of course, there are moments of trauma that he wll live with, and these reveal themselves in the conversation, so perhaps take note going in... But don't miss out on this one - it's a classic Distraction Pieces if ever there was one.PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureTHE BOY WHO LIVEDINSTAGRAMCAMEOHOSPITAL GOFUNDMECUNNING STUNTS podcastSPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMPIP TWITTERPIP PATREONPIP IMDBPOD BIBLE Hosted on Acast.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by Shetland superhero, comic, folk expert and Twitch-er MARJOLEIN ROBERTSON!A fabulous one here which branches out on all sorts of tangents but ONLY for the advancement of the podcast itself. A wonderful meandering and weaving conversation which radiates with history, fun and warmth and will surely leave you with a glorious impression of Marjolein if you're yet unacquainted. Marjolein is up in the top ten of Scottish cultural contributors and you'll understand why pretty quickly - this is someone with a firm connection to and grasp on history, of the Shetlands and surrounding areas, and you'll hear a ton of things you likely didn't know, nestled in among some excellent chat around comedy, Twitch, Edinburgh, and all that goodness.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by esteemed writer and director ANDREW HAIGH!A lovely episode for anyone inspired by the craft and creativity of film making, and you know Pip's a geek for this stuff so it won't be a surface level chat by any means! Andrew's been making roundly applauded films for decades now, including 45 Years, Lean On Pete, and the new All Of Us Strangers, but even if you are unfamiliar with those you'll find MUCH to celebrate here. Andrew goes in on all of it, including changes since 2011, representation and being known, pre-conceieved notions regarding gay sex, communication among British people, the art of the edit and when to cut, art and commerce, emotion, the metaphorical dating agency of being a director and the casting of films, Q&As and so much more.

Samuel was generous enough with his time to give us a full 90mins-ish of pure goodness which will entirely appeal to already-down Future Islands appreciators, but will likely turn a few ears towards their music if not already familiar. Saumel's presence is warm, fun and witty and it's a brilliantly entertaining ride through thoughts about performance, influence, emotion. big life moments, rap music (he's a proper head, have no doubt), ambition, 'that' performance, hurry up and wait, acting, zombie state while on tour, and whole bunch more.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!The yearly tradition boldly continues as Pip celebrates a year of incredible cinema with his FILMS OF THE YEAR 2023!One of those traditions that comes around every 12 months and makes you realise how much you missed it and how much you wanted to hear it again... A glorious and positive indulgence in a year of awesome movies from all over the world, and all across the spectrum or galaxy of the human soul. As always with this list, just a gentle reminder that if you don't agree, that is all good. But it is not a wrong or faulty list - it's just someone else's. You totally don't need this explained to you but you might be surprised at how people still think Pip's opinions are declarative statements and not opinions. In fact - put simply, to echo the Speech Development code - "We may not be for you, and that's fine". But ya know, with opinions about films.

And s you will have surely guessed, it delivers on all counts. Thomas is great company, and as a podcast host himself you know for in for some good business. They get to everything including said podcast, the This Is England squad, working with Shane Meadows, synchronicities and serendipties, adulting, interests in film and cinema, football and the wide world contained within, and his general career arc.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!Pip is joined for the second time this week by the wonderful actor that is ROSIE MARCEL!YES this is the much hinted at and inquired about episode from the archives that was never aired, for reasons that - with the passage of time - seem trivial, but at the time itself were very sensitive indeed. What's cool about hearing this episode after the previous newer recording with Rosie is how the ground was looking back then in an acting as well as very personal sense. It's what's cool about hearing two podcasts consecutively which have a space of about 4 or 5 years between them, in fact. So many questions answered, so many still left hanging, and so much life on display - it gets pretty existential when you think about it - so without any further rumination, let's leave the investigation to you! As always, a glorious chat with Rosie, and such a lot to dig into, and make sure you look at the dog charities and causes out there too if you're in the market for a dog friend. A ton of options. But also don't hurry it at this time of year - you know the old saying eh...

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the incredible acting treasure that is ROSIE MARCEL!You might know Rosie from her role as Jac on 600 episodes of Holby City - but it's entirely possible that you know her from the vast IMDB list and have never seen an episode of Holby City in your life... OR maybe this is the first time you've seen the name. Well, it goes without saying that Rosie is a genuine treat to have on the podcast. There is a bonus coming on Friday too, which is like a rare studio cutting room floor discovery type episode, where she and Pip recorded back around 2019 but it was never put out. So hopefully that sets up a bit of where this episode's energy and spirit can be traced back to. You'll hear about so much, including going from work to no work, losing a friend in the character of Jac (and how she found out about her role coming to and end), transitions and lifestyle pivots, cold water benefits and rescuing dogs via the Pack Project (link below!). SO MUCH MORE TOO.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the excellent director WILLIAM OLDROYD!Another perfect meeting here for Pip and all film heads who listen to this (and as always, anyone into creative process and inspiration), as William talks about all of the intricacies and moments of lightning in a bottle that come together to result in amazing cinema - including his past movie Lady Macbeth and present movie Eileen. It is though, of course, usually not by accident as so much hard work goes into allowing these moments to happen, and working with fine cast members always goes a huge distance. This is a great little masterclass in what can be possible, how things merge and collaborate, and how memorable films are prepared, made, and their legacy. And how the cold makes everything better.

At time of this episode that's 5 years. How much can happen in 5 years? Well there's a fine Bowie jam about that but in this case, it involves a career arc of launching into standup. No easy thing to do, as literally anyone will tell you in comedy, but Josh has taken to it with grace and finesse, made an awesome Fringe show, and rocked a bunch of venues up and down the country.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by commentator, activist and rapper LOWKEY!This is Lowkey's second appearance on Distraction Pieces, in what feels right now like a section that ought to be there every episode. Lowkey is very well versed on matters involving Israel and Palestine and the situation past and present, so this episode was recorded a day before it was released to be as up to date as possible. Pip caught up with Lowkey at 10pm on a Monday, and if you heard his previous appearance, you'll know that this is the kind of episode where you'll almost want to keep a pen and pad nearby to take notes. Of course it's good to have a wide range of views and opinions, but it's fair to say that Lowkey has a very well informed and sharp understanding of history and a present awareness that not everyone does. So in a time where you can hear random unfiltered opinion (and often opinion which wasn't invited either), it's a relief to have some sane, balanced and calm tones to hear on what's going on. Let's leave it to the episode to speak for itself but definitely give this one some time and attention, and by all means share far and wide.DON'T FORGET PIP ON PATREON if you're of a supporting natureLOWKEY IGLOWKEY TWITTERMINT PRESS NEWS / WatchdogEPISODE 407 w/ LowkeySPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMPIP TWITTERPIP PATREONPIP IMDBPOD BIBLE Hosted on Acast.
