Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by acting great JACK LOWDEN!A sureshot favourite of Pip's, Jack has been in a ton of verified excellent television and film over the last decade or more, and the filmography is undeniable.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by directing legend GASPAR NOE!Given that Pip had a mere handful of hours to prepare before that nerve jangling Zoom chat admission screen came up, this chat with Gaspar Noe went as smooth as you could possibly imagine. If you're a long term listener, you'll understand the reverence to which Pip applies to the director of Irreversible, Enter The Void, and new film Vortex among others, and so it must have been a daunting but incredible chance to form the experience into a podcast - as you will hear, it not only covers Noe's recent brush with death and subsequent recovery, but also his process, the importance of casting and crew, life, love, substances, and film in general. It's almost an episode of Films To Be Buried With, to be honest. Have a look at the references below if you miss anything - most are here - but otherwise, enjoy this amazing chat with Gaspar Noe and lifelong Gaspar Noe fan Pip!GASPAR LINKSGASPAR IMDBVORTEXREFERENCES IN PODCASTKENJI MIZOGUCHIMIKIO NARUSEKEISUKE KINOSHITAANDREI RUBLEV by TARKOVSKYLA NUIT AMERICAINE by TRUFFAUTPARADISE LOVE by ULRICH SEIDLSUNDAYS & CYBELE by BOURGUIGNONREPULSION by POLANSKISECONDS by FRANKENHEIMERTHREADSTODD SOLONDZSCROOBIUS PIP on TWITCHSCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAMSCROOBIUS PIP on TWITTERSCROOBIUS PIP on PATREONDEBRISNORTH STAR RISINGPOD BIBLE Hosted on Acast.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by acting superhero BENEDICT WONG!A marvelous and Marvel-ful episode as Pip has a long overdue catch up with the Salford hero Benedict Wong, which comes equiped with good vibes, positivity and inspiring nuggets from all sides. Kicking off with some record dealings up top, we glide into such matters as London acting gig drama, Mancunian origins, the great Sean Lock and working on 15 Storeys High, Dirty Pretty Things, Top Boy, internalising racism while working in the family chippie, representing himself as Wong & Only, the Marvel Universe, Wong Is Wong, Meisner, and just too much to be bulletpointed here basically.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!A very special bonus episode as Pip talks with LISA SIMPSON, whose son was killed by police in 2016.Before going in, know that this episode is obviously a heavy one with many nuanced elements. Lisa has been actively vocal about her feelings and experiences with the Black Lives Matter movement since her son Richard Risher was murdered by the Los Angeles Police Department on July 25th 2016. Not only has she had to face burying her son, and dealing with the aftermath of the law being responsible for his death, she's also had to deal with negative run ins with the Black Lives Matter movement who have made false promises to her for a while now, among other grievances.It's her experience to share, and her story to tell, and is a layered problem which you'll see as you hear from Lisa. This is in the interest of balance, as Patrisse Cullors of BLM guested on episode 195 of Distraction Pieces (linked below), so it's only fair Lisa has her right to reply.LISA LINKS (and related)EPISODE 195 with PATRISSE CULLORSLISA on BNC TVLAPD REPORTLA TIMES COLUMNSCROOBIUS PIP on TWITCHSCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAMSCROOBIUS PIP on TWITTERSCROOBIUS PIP on PATREONDEBRISNORTH STAR RISINGPOD BIBLESPEECH DEVELOPMENT RECORDSDISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on FACEBOOKDISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on INSTAGRAMDISTRACTION PIECES PODCAST ARCHIVE Hosted on Acast.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by journalist, author and presenter HAYLEY CAMPBELL!You’re probably familiar with the age old dilemma of ‘Cake or death?’ - well, you’re about to hear a podcast which contains firstly takeaway, and then death. So it’s not worlds away, let’s say. This is a well overdue meeting of Pip and Hayley who get along like old pals from the get go, beginning with - as stated - takeaway habits and secret condiment hacks that will level up your sauce game (you can thank Hayley), and branches off into pandemic nostalgia, fitness, cinemas, parents, Neil Gaiman, Alan Moore, comic books, but more importantly - death. Hayley’s new book ‘All The Living And The Dead’ addressed the dead. Not the dying or the grieving. The dead. You wouldn’t think it was an overlooked sector but death is a strange one. A fascinating chat which deals with so much but with a good heart and no gloominess, but worth mentioning that those who struggle with the subject might be well warned to tread lightly. Just saying.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!A bonus Friday episode for you this week, by of a feed drop for the podcast MUM AND MUMMER!What is a 'Feed Drop'? GOOD QUESTION. The easiest way to explain is this - Pip hears a podcast either on the DPP Network or from a close pal in the podcasting circuit, and after cordial formalities have been exchanged, it features on the DPP feed. In this case, it's network pal and all round wonderful human Amy's turn, with a stunning recent episode of her podcast 'Mum And Mummer'.Below is the original writeup for the episode from her own podcast feed, which will explain all.

Cecilia and Pip go back as far as the days of Bestival, and it’s lovely to hear about the journey she’s taken and the many moments of day and night along the way. We hear about the actual factual nuts and bolts of the process of writing (which includes actual human emotions and real life moments), share some moments of her family all along the way (to those of a more sensitive nature, you might want to tread carefully by the way - it’s a touch heavy), hear about her early days and entry points into spoken word and poetry which involves said Polarbear / Steve Camden, as well as the also great Jack Rooke, channeling grief, the CALM organisation, being in creative bubbles, and dipping in and out of characters in her novel ‘Little Boxes’.

But it’s pretty tough to dispute. Long term (and casual) Pip listeners will already know the line ‘Thou shalt not question Stephen Fry’ - well, Pip breaks the holy rap commandment and does just that, and it’s a joy to behold. Naturally there’s only so many tips of icebergs one can introduce in an hour, but rest assured that you get the full Pip and Fry experience including pandemic times, social media, Greeks and Romans and history as a whole, tattoos, religion, politics - it’s like if you had a dinner party with him but condensed into a lunch break.

Beth is incredibly busy, as you will surely deduce by the end of this, but busy in a reassuringly comfortable way. With so many projects on the go and in the archives, it's fascinating to hear how it all comes together, as well as the origin story of it all. A good chunk of that takes place in Wales, where we currently find her, and leads on from there including all the writing, concepts, projects, series, gigs, everything else included. So enjoy this deep dive with Beth Granville, the perfect way to zip up the week and prepare for a perfect Sunday with her and Lucy!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by actress, TV star and podcaster LUCY PINDER!A delightful chat bringing in loads of feelgood action, with a dash of triumph over adversity in there for good measure. From her days back in Winchester, we hear about her path to publicity and being involved in the world of early 00's lad culture and glamour modeling from a chance day off at the beach, which led to a huge amount of ups and downs as the path began to stabilise. What this did lead to though is a ton of good things which we hear about, as well as thoughts on pandemic walks and rituals, reclaiming Sundays and releasing podcasts on them, the difference between fun and selfishness these days to back then, rebranding being single and so much more besides. Get involved, you’ll love this one.LUCY LINKSSMASHING SUNDAYS podcastTWITTERINSTAGRAMIMDBME MYSELF AND DISCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAMSCROOBIUS PIP on PATREONDEBRISNORTH STAR RISINGPOD BIBLESPEECH DEVELOPMENT RECORDSDISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on FACEBOOKDISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on INSTAGRAMDISTRACTION PIECES PODCAST ARCHIVE Hosted on Acast.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined for a second appearance by awesome acting friend, the great TOM DAVIS!Heavyweight listeners will recall episode 58, back in September 2015, all those years ago, when young Tom joined Pip for a debut appearance. Tom brings up the ribbing he got recently from pal Seapa on said appearance, but by all means listen back and decide for yourself...! It's always nice to compare and contrast though so why not double bill the episodes... But anyway - back to the present. This one's another joyous get together with Pip and Tom, going into the old days of Murder In Successville, the things he's working on now, the days of being a labourer and the transition to acting, starting a company, the many projects he's involved in including his podcast with Romesh, and all that good good stuff.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the artist formerly known as Prolyphic, it's Strange Famous's MOPES!The last time Pip saw Mopes was in his former guise in 2013, and hooo boy has a lot happened in the interim... From name changes to all kinds of life stuff, it's a tale as old as time - take a chunk of someone's life and explore and you'll find (hopefully) huge evolutions and transitions. It's a pleasure to hear them catch up and reminisce over the old days of what was occasionally refered to as 'weird / leftfield / alternative' hip hop. What a funny time for genre naming that was. Personally I blame cLOUDDEAD. Anyway... For those into that era and sound, and those into hip hop, or just those who enjoy the story of someone with a ton of awesome experiences, buckets of honesty, and a large serving of realness - this will be of absolute importance. Check his new work HERE!You can also check his old work which I (Buddy Peace) produced, on the album 'Working Man'. I was on that tour they talk about in 2013 too!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by Youtube geography champ and amazing idea generator GEOWIZARD!Otherwise known as Tom Davies, of course. Some of you might be all like "Who in the good name of all things Youtubular is Geowizard now?", while some of you might in contrast be all like "Ahh, YES!" - well, either way, both camps are in for a treat. Tom has been making amazing videos with some concepts that make you instantly wonder how it hasn't been done already (in so much as it's such a pure, organic idea), and Pip's been down with him for a while. So you'll get to hear all about the straight line challenge, GeoGuessr (involving figuring out where you are after being dropped on Google Maps, using only context clues), how it all kicked in and got started, the idea of a 'real job', hard work out in the field (literally), being chased by angry farmers and a huge amount more. All will be made clearer by Pip and Tom from the intro onwards, so fear not - if this all sounds puzzling, give it a shot because this could very well be your next thing...Enjoy!GEOWIZARD LINKSYOUTUBE (all channels and playlists)PATREONTWITCHSCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAMSCROOBIUS PIP on PATREONDEBRISNORTH STAR RISINGPOD BIBLESPEECH DEVELOPMENT RECORDSDISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on FACEBOOKDISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on INSTAGRAMDISTRACTION PIECES PODCAST ARCHIVE Hosted on Acast.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined for acting masterclass with YOUSSEF KERKOUR!Seriously, this one goes deep… You might want to bring a notepad to this one if you’re in the least bit interested in the craft of acting because Youssef drops jewels like he keeps his valuables in a fishing net. Even though he’s sleepless through a recent addition to the family, a ton of goodies get investigated including turning a corner on publicity and PR, generating your own art, his traveled upbringing, the mess of working around 9-11, walls around people and countries, House Of Gucci and starring alongside Adam Driver and Al Pacino, dissolving one’s ego, the steady calm payoff of preparation, being prepared to go off script, casting and his various work along the way. Awesome and valuable, you’ll love it.YOUSSEF LINKSIMDBTWITTERINSTAGRAMHOUSE OF GUCCIHOMESCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAMSCROOBIUS PIP on PATREONDEBRISNORTH STAR RISINGPOD BIBLESPEECH DEVELOPMENT RECORDSDISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on FACEBOOKDISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on INSTAGRAMDISTRACTION PIECES PODCAST ARCHIVE Hosted on Acast.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by podcasting heavyweight, author and comic DAN SCHREIBER!Surely you will be familiar with the podcast No Such Thing As A Fish by now - either as a hardcore listener or from seeing it time and time again on top podcast lists. It’s the show you know Dan Schreiber from, being part of the greater QI stables and leading from Dan’s own ‘elf’ status on QI. Here’s a great chance to hear Dan’s origin story, geographically and career-wise, and good lord it’s a fascinating one. From Hong Kong to Australia to the UK, weaving in all sorts of awesome entertainment job nuggets all the way as well as brewing an interesting race identity within himself, making friends with some greats along the path and ultimately finding himself in a wonderful spot in the media landscape. Oh and his parents were celebrity hairdressers in Hong Kong as well. Too much to synopsise here of course so just listen to the episode, it’s a genuine goodie.DAN LINKSNO SUCH THING AS A FISHDAN on TWITTERSHOW US YOUR SH•TQITHE THEORY OF EVERYTHING ELSESCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAMSCROOBIUS PIP on PATREONDEBRISNORTH STAR RISINGPOD BIBLESPEECH DEVELOPMENT RECORDSDISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on FACEBOOKDISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on INSTAGRAMDISTRACTION PIECES PODCAST ARCHIVE Hosted on Acast.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!A bonus treat this Friday as Pip is joined by writer of Channel 4’s new prison drama ‘Screw’, ROB WILLIAMS!Rob of course has worked on a great amount of productions and works, but the focus this episode is the series Screw, and how it all formulated including the development and so on. The synopsis for Screw reads: “This is prison as never seen before – the uncensored, shocking and often darkly funny reality of life as a prison officer in an all-male prison in 21st century Britain” - and if that triggers your interests then this will be a perfect episode as Pip and writer Rob get deep into the mechanics and background of it all. A wide ranging chat which covers dystopian overload, teaching in prison, the lack of prison officer based shows, representation, being defined by the worst moment of your life, long running shows and the UK television framework, writing as part of a well oiled machine, writing to hooks and holding attention, Eastenders, Casualty, and loads more which will appeal to basically anyone with an interest in broadcast media.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by inspirational author and activist EMMA DABIRI!Recorded at a time of political weirdness (a backdrop as old as time), illicit government parties feel pretty low down the list compared with the content of what Emma gets into with this episode. Just listen to her break down the origins of slavery in the early part, where she traces race as a construct to the roots, and charts its spread from there on. Emma’s expert delivery does not end there, for that is merely the tip of the iceberg of what is a very useful, inspiring and absolutely information-packed episode, where she also goes into her book and the inspirations behind the title, her upbringing in Ireland and Atlanta with Nigerian and Irish parents, being subliminally introduced into black politics from a very early age, and again, tracing certain elements of slavery and racism to the origins in order to better understand the impact and resonance. I mean, just listen, and read the book. And share this episode too - it’s a great one.EMMA LINKSWHAT WHITE PEOPLE CAN DO NEXTTWITTERINSTAGRAMGOOD READSSCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAMSCROOBIUS PIP on PATREONDEBRISNORTH STAR RISINGPOD BIBLESPEECH DEVELOPMENT RECORDSDISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on FACEBOOKDISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on INSTAGRAMDISTRACTION PIECES PODCAST ARCHIVE Hosted on Acast.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by actor, author and activist EVANNA LYNCH!You may know Evanna from her role as Luna Lovegood in the Harry Potter films, which is a fine place to begin. But of course Evanna is a whole universe more than an acting role, a glimpse of which you shall have here on this podcast. She catches up with Pip about essentially life after Harry Potter, which contains a huge amount of ups, but as we all know, also contains a fair share of downs. Evanna spent a period of her life dealing with an eating disorder and the many issues which that brings with it, and only through a huge amount of work has she now been able to find ways of living with it and thinking of it in a multitude of different ways. She’s gained a demonstrable clarity over what was happening, and this podcast proves what power one can gain over something that attempts to gain its own foothold. She also goes into her own activism and vegan lifestyle too. Evanna’s book ‘The Opposite Of Butterfly Hunting’ is available now from all good bookstores.* trigger warning - eating disorders and the knock on effects are discussed in this episode, so please take note if that's something that you're not in a place for right now.Just in case it's of use, here is a website with helplines, if you need assistance.EVANNA LINKSTHE OPPOSITE OF BUTTERFLY HUNTINGINSTAGRAMHARRY POTTERKINDERBEAUTYCHICKPEEPS PODCASTSCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAMSCROOBIUS PIP on PATREONDEBRISNORTH STAR RISINGPOD BIBLESPEECH DEVELOPMENT RECORDSDISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on FACEBOOKDISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on INSTAGRAMDISTRACTION PIECES PODCAST ARCHIVE Hosted on Acast.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!The very merriest, happiest and healthiest of new years to you all and all the very best for what's to come in 2022. Let's make it one for the books... Not that any year in previous history has not been one for the books - but still, let's do what we can. All this talk of books though is not helping the cause of todays episode - for this is the tradition as old as time itself, where your dutiful cinephile host Scroobius Pip takes you on a walk in the woods to break down his films of the year list for the past 12 months!As always, and I know you know this by now, but it bears repeating - this is PIPS LIST! If any films are mentioned that did not make your own personal list, or if your list contains films that aren't on Pips list, all is well. No need to grumble. This is a celebration of film which you are welcome to - not a film dis-fest or argument over what is or isn't worthy. All positive energy, all good and healthy input. Let's kick off the year on a plus and not get caught up in all that. Right? Amazing. And with that - let's get stuck in. Folks, enjoy the annual films of the year list from Pip!SCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAMSCROOBIUS PIP on PATREONDEBRISNORTH STAR RISINGPOD BIBLESPEECH DEVELOPMENT RECORDSDISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on FACEBOOKDISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on INSTAGRAMDISTRACTION PIECES PODCAST ARCHIVE Hosted on Acast.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by Essex comedy songsmith KUNT & THE GANG!If you know him, you KNOW him. If not? You’ll be in for some fun surprises, as Kunt is a bit of a legend on the comic song scene. If you fall into the “not” category, I’m confident you’ll be hitting the Youtube links and investigating further. Armed with a Casio keyboard or a full band, depending on the circumstances, he’s responsible for a bunch of classics but more recently for the almost Xmas single ‘Boris Johnson Is A F*cking C*nt’. What’s on the books for 2021? ‘Boris Johnson Is Still A F*cking C*nt’. Can’t argue with that now can we. Hear the story from day one, including early origins with podpal Stu Whiffen, haters being good for business, being in a band with 13 other members, and his recent mad times with said singles blowing up. Mad stuff, you’ll enjoy.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by one of the UK’s shining acting stars KIELL SMITH-BYNOE!…but Kiell is not only an actor, as you shall find out. He’s been putting in power moves all across the board for a minute, and maybe in a parallel universe we’d see him sharing stages with old mates Tinchy, Wiley and Skepta, but we’re lucky enough to witness his rise on the screen. The grime model taught him well of course, as he became aware of what was possible in the wider world, and we get to hear how he plotted his course - originating in Newham - from Man Like Mobeen to Ghosts to Stath Lets Flats and much much more. And we also hear about a truly emotional on set catering experience.
