Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip

Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode 326 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is going in on one of his older releases - his debut in fact - that’s right, Pip is going behind NO COMMERCIAL BREAKS!A true milestone in the path of all that is Pip, and with a look at the whole thing with the benefit of distance (social or otherwise) and hindsight, he is able to go through it with an objectivity but not without emotion. It’s interesting to hear the tracks that hit home and the ones that he doesn’t enjoy, and the honesty that comes with a look at one’s older work is refreshing. So join Pip as he fires up the old Sonos and walks you through a very important step in his development, with No Commercial Breaks!EPISODE LINKS:NO COMMERCIAL BREAKSNO COMMERCIAL BREAKS on SPOTIFYSAGE FRANCIS • RewriteLINKS FOR SCROOBIUS PIP & SPEECH DEVELOPMENT:SCROOBIUS PIP on TWITTERSCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAMSCROOBIUS PIP on PATREONNORTH STAR RISINGPOD BIBLESPEECH DEVELOPMENT RECORDS DISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on FACEBOOKDISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on INSTAGRAMDISTRACTION PIECES PODCAST ARCHIVE Hosted on Acast.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode 326 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!A perfect return guest right here as Pip is joined once more by the inspirational philosopher, author and historian RUTGER BREGMAN!If you missed the first appearance then DEFINITELY go back and listen as it’s still immensely relevant and very interesting indeed, with a ton of goodness for some clear minded thinking. If you already caught that one, you’re in for some return greatness as Rutger and Pip join each other via the magic invisible meeting room in the sky and get into it all - from lockdown thoughts and what we will return to, his already infamous appearances at a conference and on Fox News, the bystander effect, the real life Lord Of The Flies, advancements in humanity, the Stanford Prison Experiment, reality TV, confirmation bias, trust and blushing, human eyes, psychology of weapons and Game Of Thrones. How much more? SO MUCH. That’s a mere glimpse in a nutshell. So please, set aside some time and listen to some very uplifting thoughts about us humans. We’re a weird old bunch.Rutger’s new book ‘Human Kind’ is out now!EPISODE LINKS:RUTGER on TWITTERRUTGER ONLINERUTGER at DAVOS CONFERENCERUTGER on FOX NEWSUTOPIA FOR REALISTSHUMANKINDDPP #190 with RUTGER!LINKS FOR SCROOBIUS PIP & SPEECH DEVELOPMENT:SCROOBIUS PIP on TWITTERSCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAMSCROOBIUS PIP on PATREONNORTH STAR RISINGPOD BIBLESPEECH DEVELOPMENT RECORDS DISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on FACEBOOKDISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on INSTAGRAMDISTRACTION PIECES PODCAST ARCHIVE Hosted on Acast.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode 325 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!We are still in lockdown (lockdown has been lifted), and while we’re all going in to work (no going into work) and staying alert (SO much more alert than usual), Pip decided to round up a willing crew for some further drunk antics by way of the second ISOLATION DRUNKCAST!This one right here is the Back To The Future / Godfather / Karate Kid of podcasts. A three parter of crazy huge proportions, featuring not only Pip and the usual Hardcore Listing crew Stu and Chris, but also the truly great comedians / Off Menu duo of JAMES ACASTER and ED GAMBLE! A heavy affair combining all manner of drink combos, raised voices and flaring tempers all conducted over zoom through five mini computer screens. It actually didn’t stray too far outside the realms of decency, this one, and while it’s absolutely not radio friendly, you’ll most certainly enjoy this one like you surely did the previous Isolation Drunkcast! So, as always, pour yourself a Scroobius (or a protein shake), set yourself a lil’ blanket fort or some such, and enjoy the following four hours of true mayhem.

Drink it in, people - it’s another ASK PIP SESSION!A two parter at that! Come on now. On this one, the format is tried and tested and never fails, although in this occasion Pip is indoors getting his isolation on, and pacing around his living room while answering those burning questions from you the dear listeners. Some truly good stuff here this time, with some cool news about a new project Pip’s been working on (North Star Rising), as well as all things acting, music, inspiration and how to soldier through lockdown like a true veteran. Oh and I get invited into proceedings too for some microphone wind-guard assistance, so that’s cool! Always happy to oblige. That was my whole Mastermind chosen subject and whatnot. You ever see me kill it on Mastermind back in 1987 on the subject of wind-guards? Yo. YOUTUBE THAT ISH.So without further text yammerings, please enjoy the gawd Piplo as he comes correct with the answers. Yer welcome. And in all seriousness, we here at Distraction Pieces hope you and yours are doing well as can be, and that things are going good with you. Ups and downs innit. Anyway, all the best to you.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to EPISODE 321 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! Pure delights this week with a pre-lockdown recording from when Pip sat down with poet, writer and comic TIM KEY!Just to re-iterate, this was recorded pre-lockdown, all up in the same room next to each other in person and everything. There will be NO flouting of the rules in the Distraction Pieces dojo. Anyway - all of this aside, prepare for some lovely times as Pip and Tim share gifts, anecdotes and wisdom from the world of spoken word and poetry, as well comedy, Edinburgh Fringe and gig history in general. Everything from finding one’s voice, to the performer / audience contract, the acting universe, imposter syndrome, putting yourself on the line, Tim’s experience working with Steve Coogan / Alan Partridge and so much more besides. Beautiful distractions all the way.
