Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the legendary DJ and broadcaster JO WHILEY!You can file this one under "Always on the cards / finally happened", if you're keeping scores. Jo's earned her place in the broadcasting hall of fame without a doubt, having been a rock solid and awesome part of radio history for a minute as well as holding it down on many a festival presenting lineup too. Here's a perfect chance to hear Jo on the other side of the mic as she and Pip catch up over the last couple of decades or more, from humble origins to the present day. Everything including Brighton beginnings and possible alternative career directions, her sisters journey through the pandemic which made for some heavy experiences on all sides (as well as dealings with the government), pivoting and moving from station to station, living in music, festivals, and the luxuries of gardening and nature. An uplifting one for sure, enjoy!JO LINKSTWITTERINSTAGRAMRADIO 2SCROOBIUS 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. Enjoy!HAYLEY LINKSALL THE LIVING AND THE DEADONLINETWITTERSCROOBIUS 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!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. Or just jump in and listen.••• ••• ••• ••• •••Writing, Wrestling & Going Viral, with Kirsty BosleyHello you, I do hope you are well and happy.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by author and poet CECILIA KNAPP!A perfect chance to catch up with Cecilia, and a lovely one to file alongside past episodes with DPP alumni Kae Tempest, Polarbear, Musa Okwonga and so on. 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’. Hugely inspiring. dive in and enjoy!CECILIA LINKSTWITTERONLINEBOOKSLITTLE BOXESJACK ROOKE / POLARBEARSCROOBIUS 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 writer, actor and director CRAIG ROBERTS!For those who know their cinema and tv, you’ll surely be well aware of Craig and his back catalog of goodness but if not, at the very least, you must have seen at least the cover for the film Submarine… Either way - you’re in for a treat of a chat with the Welsh sureshot himself as he goes into it all with Pip. Everything including growing up in Wales, acting origin stories, sounding toooo Welsh, directing and doing so during a pandemic, being on both sides of the camera, the great Mark Rylance, the also great Shaheen Baig (rapidly becoming the DPP godmother), the scourge of over-rehearsing, Richard Ayoade, and golf! Be sure to catch Craig’s film ‘Phantom Of The Open’ too - do not miss that one.CRAIG LINKSPHANTOM OF THE OPENIMDBINSTAGRAMTWITTERSUBMARINESCROOBIUS 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 writer, actor and singer/songwriter NICÔLE LECKY!A wonderful chat with Nicôle who has been putting in WORK for a long while now, and a chance to hear about said work including the run up to doing what she does and how those early seeds started growing. Not only that, we get to hear about her own process, the not very diverse world of drama back in the day, her musical early days, her show Mood of course, curating a team, the world of sex work, being in Sense8 and working with the Wachowskis, from stage to screen, her cringe barometer and so much more.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined, at long last, by national treasure STEPHEN FRY!Simply using the term ‘national treasure’ doesn’t do any kind of justice whatsoever to who or what Stephen is, does and has done, of course. 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. So enjoy this hang time with Stephen and let’s hope that it only leads to more!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by comic, writer, actor and podcaster BETH GRANVILLE!In a kind of mirror-type episode of Wednesday with Lucy Pinder, this is Lucy's podcasting pal from the Smashing Sundays podcast who now has the spotlight fixed firmly on her for an episode! 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!
