DPP Episode 500! (Part 1 of 2) • Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #500

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!Join Pip and producer Buddy Peace in a 'quincentenary' celebration as the podcast reaches episode 500! PART 1 of 2!Pip and myself don't often sit down and recount the archives of the Distraction Pieces Podcast in an official capacity. We might refer back to episodes here and there, or talk in a bizarre shorthand only decipherable by us about certain prior events and occurances in the past. But this time we sat down and recorded a whole epic feature length episode of us doing the damn thing and here is part 1 of the double drop!It was a pleasure and delight, and a real treat to give some context to this ongoing project which drops every Wednesday (and sometimes more), and find a space to stop, check in, celebrate, be still for a moment and look at what's happened over the years. Turns out A LOT HAS HAPPENED. But you would expect that right? So here it is, the first of two full conversations with me (Buddy Peace) and Pip, peppered with comments and questions from listeners throughout. This could even be a good first listen for some folks if they haven't heard it before, actually - definitely a huge amount of "Oh I'm listening that THAT one straight after this" type stuff.Enjoy, and huge love to you all for being with us and supporting the Distraction Pieces Podcast. Love ya. XXXPS: I looked up 'quincentenary' and everything.BUDDY PEACE online!BANDCAMPINSTAGRAMPATREONLinktreeSCROOBIUS PIP on TWITCHSCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAMSCROOBIUS PIP on TWITTERSCROOBIUS PIP on PATREONSCROOBIUS PIP on IMDBBLAIR TWITCH PROJECTPOD BIBLE Hosted on Acast.

Darren McGarvey aka Loki • Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #499

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by Glasgow-based rapper, author and activist DARREN McGARVEY aka LOKI!A thoroughly engaging and informative chat to light a fire under you right here, as Pip connects with Darren and jumps in the deep end from the very start! That's how we like it. It's actually perfect because Darren has a lot to say, all of which is guided towards society and shining a light on some of the sides of it that often get left in the shadows, ignored, or basically hidden from public view. He has skin in the game too, having lived in a part of Glasgow which hasn't always been what you might consider the safest part of town, and with alcoholism in the family, so it comes as no surprise that there's a feeling of catharthis in his quest to enlighten and create positivity in his work. Speaking of work, you can catch Darren on road not long after this podcast releases, and also make sure you peep his rap music which is proper too. Very sick stuff. A definite companion episode to previous guests such as Akala, Rutger Bregman and Emma Dabiri to name a few.THE SOCIAL DISTANCE BETWEEN USONLINETWITTERINSTAGRAMLIVEYOUTUBESCROOBIUS PIP on TWITCHSCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAMSCROOBIUS PIP on TWITTERSCROOBIUS PIP on PATREONBLAIR TWITCH PROJECTDEBRISNORTH 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 AMAR CHADHA-PATEL!Hopefully you will have encountered Disney+'s 'Willow' by now (previously known as the enigmatic 'UNTITLED DISNEYPLUS PROJECT'), or perhaps even the movie 'Dashcam' - if not, and you're yet to become familiar with Amar, this is a wonderful opportunity to make a fast friend and discover someone who you'll certainly want to keep up on... This is an awesome chat with Pip and Amar, which covers his beginnings working with the All Saints brand and hustling music videos, leading to Bestival projects at which he made first contact with Pip, set design and direction, various intricate tax issues and Twitter storms, process, enjoyment and happiness on set, and how to mature within a complex and unique industry. You'll pick up some true gems along the way but more importantly, hear an uninterrupted chat which you'll thoroughly enjoy.

William Regal • Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #496

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by English professional wrestler WILLIAM REGAL!A true wrestling fans dream right here, but as always with these slightly more specific episodes, this is definitely not one strictly for the wrestlers... William Regal is a lovely guest and a treat to have on the podcast, and you can clearly hear the joy in Pip's voice when the two get to speaking. Those who are familiar will know about his character and his long road within the wrestling ring and outside it, and here you get a front row chance to hear about everything - the character choices and how he formulated the person you see up there, his original desires to be a wrestler, comedian or clown, Blackpool roots, analogies to the 'bad guy' characters in comedy, how to work with crowds, being a pro, doing the work, and retaining a humble but proud and highly skilled presence in and out of that ring. It will definitely appeal to anyone in the creative arts, as there are elements of which we all share and find common ground on. Some valuable meditations on time and being a grown adult too, which we can all benefit from. Lovely stuff for both wrestling addicts and those who are a clean slate!WWETWITTERWRESTLING WIKIMORE WILLIAMSCROOBIUS PIP on TWITCHSCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAMSCROOBIUS PIP on TWITTERSCROOBIUS PIP on PATREONBLAIR TWITCH PROJECTDEBRISNORTH STAR RISINGPOD BIBLE Hosted on Acast.

Lenny Rush • Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #495

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by actor LENNY RUSH!This isn't the first time Pip's had a younger guest on the podcast, going back to the days of the 'Where's Your Head At' series where he chatted to his goddaughter, but this time he joined by young Lenny who is 12 years old at the time of recording. Lenny is an incredible actor who's been on a lot of very highly regarded BBC shows (and more obviously!), and this is a wonderful conversation where you really get to know Lenny well and catch a glimpse of his wise and great sense of humour. In case you missed something Pip mentions earlier on too, Lenny has Spondyloepiphyseal Dysplasia congenita, a condition which affects growth. This is just to give the correct words to the condition and make sure it's spelled properly here.They cover a lot of ground here in not a lot of time, but just make sure you have space on your favourite actor lists after hearing and seeing him. Check lnks below for more work and where to find his various actings too!IMDBINSTAGRAMAM I BEING UNREASONABLE?DODGERSCROOBIUS PIP on TWITCHSCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAMSCROOBIUS PIP on TWITTERSCROOBIUS PIP on PATREONBLAIR TWITCH PROJECTDEBRISNORTH STAR RISINGPOD BIBLE Hosted on Acast.
