Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip

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!

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.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!Let the cinematic streak be unbroken, as Pip chats with the second brother combo on the podcast - it’s the directorial duo of THE BLAINE BROTHERS!You may be familiar with the two from previous works such as Nina Forever (which was HIGH on a previous Pip’s films of the year list), and maybe you’ve already become aware of the Sara Pascoe series Out Of Her Mind (featuring Pip himself), but if not - prepare to investigate all of these and more when you spend some time in the company of the Chris and Ben Blaine! It’s a really engaging chat about all things film, as well as pre-lockdown days, playwright vs Da Vinci, letting yourself make mistakes, tearing up the film makers handbook, constraints, the fault of “Kill your darlings”, subconscious typecasting, their production process and making a BBC series - as well as just about everything else in between. Ace stuff, you’ll love it.EPISODE LINKS:BEN BLAINECHRIS BLAINEBLAINE BROTHERS ONLINEBLAINE BROTHERS on INSTAGRAMOUT OF HER MINDNINA FOREVERLINKS FOR SCROOBIUS PIP & SPEECH DEVELOPMENT:SCROOBIUS PIP on TWITTERSCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAMSCROOBIUS PIP on PATREONNORTH 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!What better way to follow last episode’s acting aceness than with another UK treasure, yes indeed Distraction Pieces famsquad it is the brilliant TARON EGERTON!As with so many of these episodes featuring the UK acting crew, there is an over-riding spiritual link by way of Stephen Graham, so props must be given to him first off! This one feels like another ‘long time coming’ episode, where it was just a matter of time and arrangements to lock it in. Naturally there’s lockdown talk up top, which is always fascinating as we all want to know how it’s been affecting each other - Taron’s found himself in Wales, which brings us to his upbringing (including Liverpool), and from then on you can expect some good talk on social media, RADA and family whip-rounds for auditions, early days (not THAT long ago!) on Kingsman, lessons learned through each film, voice acting vs acting-acting, Matthew Vaughn, Dexter Fletcher, Tom Hardy, his own filmography (including Eddie The Eagle and Rocketman to name a couple), and tons more. Uplifting and inspirational - you shall enjoy!EPISODE LINKS:TARON ONLINETARON on INSTAGRAMTARON on TWITTERTARON on IMDBROCKETMANLINKS FOR SCROOBIUS PIP & SPEECH DEVELOPMENT:SCROOBIUS PIP on TWITTERSCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAMSCROOBIUS PIP on PATREONNORTH STAR RISINGPOD BIBLESPEECH DEVELOPMENT RECORDSDISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on FACEBOOKDISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on INSTAGRAMDISTRACTION PIECES PODCAST ARCHIVE Hosted on Acast.
