Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!Dearest Distraction Pieces crew (or Team 3W as we used to call each other!), you are in for a solid gold treat this week. And next week. Yes, it’s that time of year when Pip casts his eye over the year’s events, while trying to make sense of the wreckage… And this year, good lawd was there a lot of it. So he has enlisted the help of a good friend of his - that’s right - you’ve seen the episode description already so you KNOW who it is - it’s Limerick’s finest, Blindboy!Hopefully you’ll be familiar with Blindboy from his own podcast (if not, you must make a point of incorporating that into your life), or maybe you heard a distant episode of Distraction Pieces with him, or maybe you’re already down with the Rubberbandits. Whatever the case - you’re in very good hands here as the two get down to the year’s business over two episodes. There are too many nuggets to even hint at here so just dive in, enjoy and know that you’ve made the right listening choice. Congratulations. And all the utmost season’s bests to you and your nears and dears! Have a lovely end of 2020. A year for the books right there.BLINDBOY on TWITTERBLINDBOY PODCAST • Acast • SpotifyBLINDBOY TWITCHBLINDBOY on iPLAYERX DISTRACTION PIECES CREW!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!As tradition would usually dictate, Pip would meet up with Kae and Polar for some form of Xmas drinks in whatever formation was available, but WHAT WITH THINGS AS THEY ARE, zoom provided the medium for it all to happen which now means that we get to hear what happens behind the curtain!A great chance to listen to what’s been happening in this year of years with Pip’s old time pals (and surely favourites of yourselves) Kae Tempest and Polarbear, completing the pyramid of incredible spoken word / writing / acting / music talent that continue to smash it at every angle… It’s a lovely two parter, which digs in it all - lockdown and pandemic and how that’s taken a toll on everyone’s individual lives and performance routines, mental health, locations and moving, bubbles, family, porridge game, being tuned in and collaboration, mental beatdowns in acting classes, cooking and SO much more. Stop by for both parts and have a wonderful listening session. Please enjoy!KAE onlineKAE on TWITTERPOLARBEAR onlinePOLARBEAR on TWITTERX DISTRACTION PIECES CREW!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!Pure comedy fun times which we most certainly all need right about now, as Pip is joined by Mark, Broden and Zachary of Australian comedy crew AUNTY DONNA!Have you heard of Aunty Donna yet? Chances are you are a diehard dyed in the wool Auntyhead, but perhaps you may have only just seen that Netflix square scrolling sideways in your field of vision as recent as today - or maybe this is the first time you’ve heard the word Aunty and the name Donna together full stop. Well prepare to either get to know the gang much better, or make some new best friends, as Pip catches up with three of the crew! You’ll hear a ton from their early days right up to now, and this will ensure that you are well versed in all things Donna - covering Run The Jewels with times tables, going from podcast to stage to screen, Dominos Pizza (and a gang of fast food snack trivia), tall poppy syndrome, fanbases, physical humour, finding the truth, being present, “whatever’s funniest” and the relentless search for perfection in TV production, as well as a bunch of behind the scenes bits and pieces besides. Gems from every angle. ENJOY!AUNTY DONNA on THE INTERNETAUNTY DONNA on TWITTERAUNTY DONNA on NETFLIXAUNTY DONNA on YOUTUBEX DISTRACTION PIECES CREW!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!Cinematic perfection is upon us once more, as Pip finally aligns schedules with the incredible and inspiring actor MYANNA BURING!It’s another great one folks, but I mean when has the Distraction Pieces Podcast ever been less than? That was rhetorical. But seriously… Anyway - here’s a beautiful chance to enjoy a wonderful chat across the internet lines with MyAnna, who you will know from one of the most intense films in movie history The Descent, or equally intense movie Kill List, or maybe from the marginally less intense (depending on your age perhaps) Twilight saga. At any rate, if you are yet to make her acquaintance, prepare to make a new pal right here through a packed chat, containing everything including making the decision to pare down over lockdown, how groundbreaking The Descent was when looking in retrospect, help along the way (this podcast has spiritual guidance from Michael Smiley and Stephen Graham of course), stories being the backbone of society, on-camera process, the scale of Twilight, traveling a ton as a kid and her triangle of the Middle East, Sweden and the UK, hard bread and The Witcher! Finally though, here are your three commandments: 1. Know your lines; 2. Turn up on time and 3. Don’t be a dick. Easy!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!An ALMOST in person DPP right here - well, Pip and the guest being in the same city, in a country far far away from their respective homesteads anyway - please enjoy a brilliantly upfront and honest chat with actor RAHUL KOHLI!I say upfront and honest - basically it’s one where sentiments aren’t hinted at, and feelings and thoughts are addressed in a mature and adult manner. He and Pip are currently in Vancouver, Canada, in the midst of filming in some very airtight pandemic conditions. You can hear all about that, which of course branches out into how life is in Canada, viewing the pandemic from a different country, the attitudes in the US, race and the media, privilege, social media tone deafness, becoming a Twitter celeb (not as glamorous as it sounds), what re-Trump-ing says about you, Mike Bithell and the amazing North Star Rising project he and Pip guested on, auditions, gaming voiceovers, acting, and the many intricate nuances of invoking Bollywood. It’s a packed one and it’s great. Get yerself in a listening situation.EPISODE LINKS:RAHUL on TWITTERRAHUL on IMDBRAHUL AGENTTWEETSTORM FUNTIMESiZOMBIEX DISTRACTION PIECES CREW!

Perfection.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!Without a doubt, an episode that’s been a long time in the making - at last, Pip catches up with national trasure, poet, writer and lyricist BENJAMIN ZEPHANIAH!Pure enjoyment from the Birmingham legend as he and Pip catch up and talk about all things poetry but so much more… Beginning at the beginning of time itself, they move through viruses, “unpredictable” times, nature, the meat industry, finance and politics, squashing Twitter beefs, Bob Marley, doing gigs and slowly finding his crew, Life & Rhymes and everything contained within, finding and celebrating music in the words, performance poetry vs page poetry and of course, Peaky Blinders! Amazing.
