Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip

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. HAVE FUN!EPISODE LINKS:OFF MENU PODCAST! • Acast • Spotify • WebsiteLIFERS PODCAST! • SpotifyHARDCORE LISTING! • Acast • SpotifyLINKS 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.

Mum & Mummer is a fantastic podcast which deals with the honesty and rawness of being a mum in the modern world, and all of the weird and wonderful baggage that brings. They are perfectly placed to host such a podcast, having been through many an up and down along the journey of being parents, and you’ll be able to hear about what’s in store for you with the show through this great chat with Pip. Pip and Amy go way back, and so it’s also a really cool chance for Pip to become better acquainted with Harry, and as they become fast friends, the whole chat is a really entertaining whirlwind of goodness to prep you for another ace show on the network.OH! Also - there’s a bonus contest in the intro set by Pip based on the amazing North Star Rising series, on which he lends his voice - it’s an entirely kid friendly series at that, as is the contest, so any parent folk or those who know creative kids (or grown ups!), get yerself involved…EPISODE LINKS:MUM & MUMMER • Acast • SpotifyMUM & MUMMER on TWITTERMUM & MUMMER on INSTAGRAMLINKS 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.

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.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to EPISODE 319 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! A beautiful chat this week with the truly wonderful singer songwriter LIANNE LA HAVAS!This one was recorded pre-apocalypse so it was a real life face to face interaction (seriously, do you remember those…?), and as such I think you’ll really enjoy this even more than usual as Pip and Lianne get along great, and that’s been a true strength of the Distraction Pieces Podcast - the face to face element of it all. Well, while that may temporarily alter here and there, the fact of the matter is that Lianne is a beautiful presence and it’s a joy to hear her talk about her experiences in the music game, along with the wisdom she’s gained along the way. Everything from being on a label as opposed to being indie, the weird stage between writing and performing, emotions and process behind the record, unconventional family setups, being a shy kid and keeping her skills behind closed doors for a good chunk of her childhood years, being raised by her Jamaican grandparents as well as her education and interests, oh and also - I mean take this with a grain of salt and act all aloof or whatever but she was also really good mates with Prince. I mean, like, whatever. Y’know. Of course if there was a font colour for sarcasm the last couple of sentences would be glowing right now. MADNESS.
