Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined, once again, for the universal good of podcast listeners, by JORDAN GRAY!It's a much requested and long awaited return, and so much has happened in Jordan's world since the last visit in actually quite a short span of time. We catch up with Jordan hot off their triumphant return from Edinburgh Fringe which proved to be a VERY full on month of highs, and the two catch up and check in on all of that, as well as The Voice, shows and scripts and coming up with material, new audiences, class, investing in yourself, a uniquely Marvel experience which is just wonderful and you have to hear, what's coming next, and just all sorts of good vibe material that we've come to expect and DEMAND from Jordan over past DPP appearances!

Kaitlyn Dever • Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #475
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by acting superstar KAITLYN DEVER!If you are unaware of Kaitlyn in your adventures through the wide world of broadcast media, prepare to make fast friends with a true great, and an absolute gem of a person at that. Kaitlyn's been putting down serious moves since childhood, including a Shakespeare stint at RADA (Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts for those pondering), and her filmography is stellar - ranging from Justified, to Dopesick, to Unbelievable, and more recently Ticket To Paradise (starring alongside Julia Roberts and George Clooney, where the cinema screen actually cracks midway through from so much gorgeous). This is a lovely chat, properly engaging and it's such a treat to hear Kaitlyn's story. OH and as Pip hints at in the intro, prepare for a Kaitlyn fact that will blow yer mind. She casually peppers it in there but thankfully Pip mashes on the brakes and reverses and double takes seamlessly. Enjoy! You shall!IMDBINSTAGRAMTWITTERTICKET TO PARADISEJUSTIFIEDSCROOBIUS 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 director TOM GEORGE!The second in a two part podcast mini series I guess you could call it, where Pip catches up with one of the people immediately involved with the murder mystery See How They Run. It also happens that the two people in said mini podcast series were ALSO immediately involved with This Country - a mockumentary of which Pip is a card-carrying superfan of. This is a Friday bonus episode featuring director Tom, who goes into a ton of the awesome behind the scenes business in creating This Country and See How They Run, as well as his past and future, and so much more - I mean if you like anything mentioned in this writeup you'll be listening already so I'll let you crack on.

Charlie Cooper • Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #473
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by actor and writer extraordinaire CHARLIE COOPER!A long awaited one right here, as long term listeners will already be aware of how big a fan Pip is of This Country... Charlie was one of those responsible for the whole thing (along with his sister Daisy May), but obviously NOT ONLY that... As you'll hear, there's a ton going on with Charlie, including a starring role in See How They Run alongside some insanely great acting talent (none of which is lost on him), and together he and Pip cover all things fantasy football-style casting, the Tom George comfort animal, the process of ideas and realising them, refining scripts on the go, working with Daisy and Tom, his roles in Stath Lets Flats and Avenue 5 (in front of the camera or in the writers room), and everything else. A deep one which covers the fun of it all alongside the hard work involved.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by director BABAK ANVARI!See Wednesday's episode for the George side of things but this is the other side of the camera right here! Pip and Babak unexpectedly go back a way, as you'll hear up top on this episode, and from then on it's all about Babak - from their surprise meet at Wireless around 2008, to his background in film assisting with the editor's mind of it all, short films, his film Under The Shadow, childhood in Iran and adulthood in the UK, the masochism involved in film making and a huge amount more. The perfect accompaniment to Wednesday's goodness!

George MacKay • Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #471
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by UK acting hero GEORGE MACKAY!A brilliant chat with one of the stars of the excellent 'I Came By', which is available to your ears and eyes right now in your local [indie] cinema and Netflix! He and Pip share some interesting pinpoints, in a real and cinematic sense, but also connect on the greater art of acting, film making and this whole life thing in general. Street art, starts and ends of characters, deeper revelations in the characters worlds, social media and the beauty of not being there for it, performance, osmosis learning, context clues for acting and actors and deciding what to take on board himself, industry parents and how he got into the whole thing... Awesome stuff, and look for the bonus ep on Friday!I CAME BYNETFLIX LINKI CAME BY-MDBGEORGE ON IMDBSCROOBIUS 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 UK acting superstar JOHN BRADLEY WEST!We caught up with young John back in October 2016, in those sepia toned and tobacco-tinted days of episode 120, no less... Well, as always, you can only imagine how much life has happened in those interviening 6 years, but John is back to bring us all back to speed! From the weird end time of his tenure on Game Of Thrones and the funky feelings of that period, to getting a call from J-Lo, to Moonfall and Marry Me, social media, creativity, The Railway Children and all the rest, this is a goody as you can imagine with so much happening.

Paddy Considine • Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #469
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by national acting treasure and Distraction Pieces friend PADDY CONSIDINE!You may remember back all those years to 2015, when Paddy made his first appearance on the podcast... A huge amount of life has happened since then, and you're about to hear - well, condensed into an hour or so - all about it. We find Paddy in a good place, which is lovely to hear, and delve into the past again, in a number of ways, to hear about past advice he gave Pip in the first podcast appearance, class, revelations on Broadway, what is available to you with the appropriate outlook, that old ever present bastard of imposter syndrome, on set relationships, directing one's self, his past films including Journeyman and Tyrannosaur, House Of The Dragon, Riding The Low, and all the other extra trimmings tha come with all of that. A fantastic one which you'll love, and you're always in good company with Paddy - enjoy!DPP EP29 with PaddyINSTAGRAMRIDING THE LOW linksIMDBHOUSE OF THE DRAGONTYRANNOSAURJOURNEYMANSCROOBIUS PIP on TWITCHSCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAMSCROOBIUS PIP on TWITTERSCROOBIUS PIP on PATREONDEBRISNORTH STAR RISINGPOD BIBLE Hosted on Acast.

Frankie Boyle • Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #468
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by comic, host and writer FRANKIE BOYLE!I mean, multi-hyphenate would kind of sum it all up to some degree. This a very welcome catch up with Frankie, as he and Pip check in on everything since September 2016 - so not much to talk about then really...? So let's just say that the tip of the iceberg is approached at the very least, with a lot of Frankie goodness to indulge in including his new Fringe show, not relying on fallbacks, the scourge of essentialism, the path of optimism, Left Wing melancholia, dislike for the emphatic, how we read, Becket plays, meeting greater themes in play through real life mortality experiences (wow that's a book title right there), representation and so much more. Excellent stuff.

Sex With Charlie & Nina • Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #467
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by new Distraction Pieces Network signees, the fabulous duo of CHARLIE & NINA!From - obviously - their podcast entitled Sex With Charlie & Nina. But previously of the podcast 2 Girls 1 Shop, in case you were fortunate enough to catch that one... The joy of the new one though is that it truly requires zero back story. Charlie and Nina talk about sex. And now you're all caught up! But if you are new to their world, you're in for true treats and knowledge and wisdom, as well as a lot of incredible back catalogue too. On this episode though, it's a fantastic chance to get to hear from them about all things past, present and future, including how they met, what got them into podcasting (or 'who' - in this case, mostly Stu Whiffen), building up a backlog of amazing stories, sex positivity, the 50 Shades effect, dealing with attitudes of all sorts, their experiences in dealing with the public in a shop and social media environment, and all the rest that you would want to hear about. It's awesome, and a perfect introduction - or reintroduction - to Charlie and Nina!SEX WITH CHARLIE & NINATWITTERALL LINKS2 GIRLS 1 SHOPSCROOBIUS PIP on TWITCHSCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAMSCROOBIUS PIP on TWITTERSCROOBIUS PIP on PATREONDEBRISNORTH STAR RISINGPOD BIBLE Hosted on Acast.
