Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!Joining Pip this week is the incredible director of ‘Censor’, it’s PRANO BAILEY-BOND!An excellent get together featuring some really fruitful angles and insightful thoughts, as Pip and Prano get into the magic of film. But not only that of course - you know the Distraction Pieces Podcast well enough to know the many paths and tangents it takes, and through those you shall get to know Prano well indeed. From her Wales upbringings and VHS shelves, to short film, to doing the whole movie promotion thing remotely at this point in time which brings its own distortions and abstractions, to the relationship of the team behind the film, and how the power of boredom and beoing outside the cool kid circle can bring about its own moments of inspiration. More than enough to get you excited for the marvelous ‘Censor’! Just keep telling yourself… IT’S ONLY A FILM…PRANO LINKSTWITTERIMDBCENSORFILMOGRAPHYSCROOBIUS 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!Please welcome singer, rapper, boxer and Youtube star KSI!Pip is joined by a Youtube veteran, and definitely someone with an admirable work ethic. Inspired by the likes of Childish Gambino and early adopters, KSI has carved out his own unique space in the world of social media and by the sounds of it, not even a global pandemic can stop this train running… Hear the story of his path from Watford, and how it led to where he currently finds himself including his boxing hustle, balance, fear of losing, working harder than anyone, how Youtube accepts no defeats and how to ascend by way of constant grind.KSI’s new album All Over The Place is out now.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!Joining Pip this week is the notorious, the glorious, the hilarious actor (voice and physical), writer and director NICK FROST!…who you might also know as Simon Pegg’s sparring partner in many an iconic production throughout the years, but that is not to in any way diminish Nick’s standing as an individual force in the comic universe… He’s been putting in power moves for years in front of and behind the scenes, working on such heavyweight projects as The Nevers, Why Women Kill and Truth Seekers, and has a ton on the horizon, but here’s your chance to hear about the past year and all that entails - coming in blazing with the hefty stuff, it continues in refreshingly honest and open nature with being careful about health, the industry standard of over working, vulnerability of parents, the us and them aspect of early Covid precautions on set, the tricky path to completing writing, our old friend imposter syndrome, being small in the moment and extra curricular artworks.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!Another one for the books right here, as we welcome writer, dancer, podcaster and worlds more, KELECHI OKAFOR!…also known as Kelechnekoff. A supreme recording for you here as Pip joins forces with one of the greatest voices in the game, as you will hear throughout or may have of course heard via the Say Your Mind podcast. Kelechi is holding it down in a wild world, while maintaining dignity and finesse in times which certainly call for it (though it can be a pure struggle). An ace chat branching out into everything from being a “dickhead in recovery”, the juggles of a new mum, the white supremacist patriarchy, the co-opting of phrases to diminish, how protests are defused, “tear singlet energy”, Yoruba, Lagos to Peckham, race transcendance, Haiti, the angry Black woman narrative, past trauma, tarot and creative arts - but as you can well imagine, that’s only the surface of the iceberg. Awesome work.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!Enjoy a fabulous catchup with DJ / presenter, author and true great ANNIE MACMANUS!One of those long overdue meetups where you feel like it could be a part of a Distraction Pieces off-shoot podcast of its very own, where Pip checks in with Annie about all things life and sound. Kicking off with some necessary salutes and bigups to Ireland, it branches out into family life and what home is, Shane MacGowan and The Pogues, Dublin life, clubbing and her early days, being a part of a musical family, the infinite journey of music through digging in the crates, technology and what it means for DJing, the relativity of what ‘new’ music is, from rave to radio, learning the ropes of what she does, her podcasting world, being an author, and the Zane Lowe slot. Oh but so much more besides.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!Joining the podcast this week is another fabulous acting favourite, yes indeed it is AMANDA ABBINGTON!Due to one thing or another, schedules have been flipped, turned upside down, but Pip and Amanda have managed to crowbar in some good time to get together and rock a truly fine podcast for you all. Amanda’s been in a LOT of good things over the past, namely Man Stroke Woman, Safe, Sherlock, and much more - in this hour, she and Pip go into a ton including her Hertfordshire early days, nature and how it particularly played into the past year, growing up in happy and not so happy times, her fearless mum, Underdogs and their work with kids and dogs (and the importance of rescue dogs), casting and agents, television vs film, her road to where she is now and all kinds of easter eggs within.

Originally broadcast on February 12th 2020, this episode feels like a dream or a fantasy world away now - but it’s a brilliant one which deserves the DPP Rewind treatment at a poignant time. Michael Cashman was a delight and his story is thrilling, which absolutely warrants its re-run - please listen if you haven’t yet, and if you did at the time, why not revisit…Just to note the films Pip lists up top on the intro, here they are:Victim • 120bpm • Tangerine • Ammonite • A Special Day • Beach Rats • God’s Own Country • Portrait Of A Lady On FireBelow is the original writeup from Feb 2020…• • • • • • • • • •Welcome, welcome, welcome to EPISODE 311 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by activist, author and actor (all the A’s), Michael Cashman! Sorry - let me correct that - Baron Cashman CBE!An amazing meeting this week with Pip and Michael, a man whose experience and knowledge will come shining through immediately upon listening. As a founder of Stonewall (with Ian McKellen), ex-member of European Parliament, activist and former actor (those of us who grew up on Eastenders will remember him as Colin), his life has been a genuine document of ups and downs, highs and lows, but all navigated with love, conviction and positivity. His story is moving, uplifting and at times incredibly unfair, but as you will hear - from all of this, pure goodness has been his reward. Over 30 years of his journey has been underpinned by long term partner Paul, who is unfortunately no longer with us but as you’ll hear, is spoken of by Michael with such love and compassion and it’s pretty much impossible to not be stirred by - well, the whole conversation, let’s be frank. The rest is yours to discover - listen, learn, and become better acquainted with a strong force for good in the world. Welcome, Michael!His book 'One Of Them' is available now on Bloomsbury!EPISODE LINKS:• MICHAEL on TWITTER• STONEWALL• COLIN'S FIRST APPEARANCE in EASTENDERS• MICHAEL on THE INTERNETLINKS FOR SCROOBIUS PIP & SPEECH DEVELOPMENT:• SCROOBIUS PIP on TWITTER• SCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAM• SCROOBIUS PIP on PATREON• POD BIBLE• SPEECH DEVELOPMENT RECORDS • DISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on FACEBOOK• DISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on INSTAGRAM• Hosted on Acast.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!Joining the podcast this week is the fabulous acting favourite and true treasure JULIET STEVENSON!Having met on set on Sara Pascoe’s ‘Out Of Her Mind’, Juliet and Pip hit it off and set up a future plan for a podcast meeting - and here we have the glorious result! Kicking off with some misty eyed recollections of the excellent show, much ground is covered from there on including the wide world of Edinburgh Fringe, ‘The Doctor’ and the issues it raises, acting as societal study, Alan Rickman and her acting peers, the intricacies of cancel culture and why it is so tricky, reaching facts first without the journey, her work with charities and how she became familiar and knowledgable with the plight of refugees (and indeed her path to that world), the ironies of British history, a few early moments in Essex, being a conduit as an actor, Shakespeare, Beckett, and remodelling older texts. But that’s scratching the surface - it’s a deep one, enjoy!JULIET LINKSOUT OF HER MINDIMDBTRULY MADLY DEEPLYFREEDOM FROM TORTUREBREAKING BARRIERSSCROOBIUS 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!Pip catches up on events from the past few years with poet, author and good pal LAURA DOCKRILL!A very timely meeting with Laura this week, coming in after the finale of the Where’s Your Head At series that spanned the month of May. This is very much on message for the series, though this time we get to spend a whole episode with Laura, who was last featured a good few years ago on here. As you could imagine, a LOT of life has happened in those interviening years, but as you will hear in truly honest detail, it has been a mix of ecstatic highs and powerful lows, a rocky road upon which which she has felt every single bump. So just as a note up top, Laura goes into her experiences with pregnancy, though focused more on the later stages post-delivery. And that’s where things got tough to say the very least. This is an incredible frank conversation which goes into post partum psychosis, and all that entails - but it’s incredibly refreshing to hear such honesty and first person accounting of it all (especially from someone so nice with the wordplay and the pen), so here’s a good long chat with Laura Dockrill - give it some time and focus.LAURA LINKSTWITTERONLINEINSTAGRAMWHAT HAVE I DONE bookMore from LauraSCROOBIUS 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.
