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. Enjoy.

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! And be sure to catch all said programs on the links below.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!

This week Pip is joined once more by acting pal and all round beam of light STEVEN OGG!

A repeat showing from friend of the show and acting / performing heavyweight Steven, who always brings forth a tide of positivity and inspiration on the show. A very fun and cosy gathering as he and Pip get to chatting about acting, the sciences behind the whole thing in all degrees of detail, his new book of poetry 'Catharse-Is', collaborating and performance and getting together to create in the same room, accents, death, and what sounds like an escape room in the studio they're recording in. All good stuff, and a ton for you to enjoy be you long term fan of Steven or newcomer to the party.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!

This week Pip is joined by two of the crew behind People Just Do Nothing (and tons more) STEVE STAMP & ALLAN 'SEAPA' MUSTAFA!

The 'tons more' on the above description is holding up a bunch of heavy material of course, as they do MUCH that deserves attention and commentary. Pip has a good history with the Kurupt FM crew having had them on in various guises in previous episodes, and this one is a reduced but no less awesome gathering. Hear the two chat about all sorts including their Sunday Brunch appearance, The Curse, People Just Do Nothing, Peacock and all the various projects they've undertaken, chemistry with actors, 'scenes of an intimate nature', Top Boy, self-made mythologies, ah just about everything. So much enjoyment - jump right in.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to EPISODE 447 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!

This week Pip is joined by the incredible poet, writer and all round legend KAE TEMPEST!

By all means, this writeup could end there - I mean the name Kae Tempest is essentially an instant download. But if you're still waiting for a hard sell in this description, just know that this is a wonderful, heartfelt, funny, inspiring and uplifting chat with Kae and Pip about - well, the whole thing. Life, love and the universe. Yin and yang. All that good stuff. Kae's been on the Distraction Pieces Podcast and you should also add those to your collection but whatever you do, don't let this one fall through your fingers. Take it in, enjoy, feel it. Oh and DO peep the new album too - Kae's running the road so also catch them rock a city near you soon...

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. Truly enjoyable, catch up with Stevie and enjoy!

Below is the original writeup from the episode, in this case from Wednesday, February 26, 2020.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to EPISODE 314 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!

This week Pip is joined by the fantastic in every way comedian, writer and actor MAE MARTIN!

A tremendous meetup of Pip and Mae, and dare I say a long overdue one at that… You’ll get to hear all about Mae in the greater scale and sense, from back in the day to… now… in the day…? 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. Ladies and gentlemen, your new best friend, Mae Martin!

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.
