Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by fabulous writer, comic and podcaster SOPHIE DUKER!Right from jump, this episode vetures into the good stuff - just assume the warm up pleasantries were taken care of before the recording started, as this comes in hot! An excellent episode with Pip and Sophie untangling a ton of the world's weirdness and ugliness but somehow finding some beauty in amongs the wreckage. It can feel imposible at times but hopefully you'll also find some silver linings with this great chat. A ton of ground covered, and don't forget that you can catch up with Sophie up at the Edinburgh Fringe (dates below) in August for a healthy dose of the good stuff in the 'But Daddy I Love Her' show.

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.

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!

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!PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureINSTAGRAMSTEVIE LINKS & GIGSYOUTUBENOBODY PANIC PODCASTSTEVIE ON COMCOMPODPIPSTARTER for AREA OF OUTSTANDING NATURAL BEAUTYSPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMPIP TWITTERPIP PATREONPIP IMDBPOD BIBLE Hosted on Acast.

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.

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH from all at the Distraction Pieces Podcast!Every Friday there will be a Rewind episode featuring one of our friends, in case you missed it or simply want to revisit some wonderful chats...Originally broadcast Wednesday, September 9, 2015.Welcome, welcome, welcome to EPISODE 57 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by musician, comic, actor, writer and so much more, Jordan Gray aka Tall Dark Friend!This writeup is not from the original episode, but just a quick shout about Jordan. This was their first appearance on Distraction Pieces, the first of many it would turn out, and is one of the episodes you might have heard Pip cite many a time on subsequent episodes. One thing to bear in mind is that this is from almost 10 years ago at this point, and at this point in history we are now at episode 570+. So as you can well imagine, a LOT has been discussed since, much has been learned, many perspectives have been sharpened and multiplied, and we've seen a huge amount happening in the intervening years. Keep this in mind while listening, but also as Jordan has had some incredible leaps and bounds career-wise. A fascinating glimpse back in time, and definitely look back at the then future episodes with show pal Jordan!TWITTERLIVEIMDBTRANSACTIONYOUTUBESTAMPTOWNDYLAN WOODLEYGAULIER CLOWNSSPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMPIP TWITTERPIP PATREONPIP IMDBPOD BIBLE Hosted on Acast.
