Sofia Boutella - Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #153
Welcome. Welcome. And you know what? You've earned it. Welcome. Now we're done with the formalities, consider yourself appropriately welcomed to your ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THIRD episode of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! One fiddy three. Imagine that. In a drastic change to last week's solo spoken word episode, Pip has some real life company this week, and as such this is a truly golden episode - ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy the shining ray of light that is Sofia Boutella!One of those incredibly inspirational episodes where the conversation really drives through some lovely terrain, and you'll enjoy where this journey takes you for real. Sofia is currently all over the place (as Pip witnessed via the medium of the good old American billboard) with her new blockbuster 'The Mummy' on release (co-starring some fella whose first name is Tom, that's all the info we have at this point), but you may well know her from her varied work in 'Star Trek', 'Kingsman', and killing it in an...

Living Room Spoken Word - Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #152
Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode 152 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! In a slight alteration to the usual proceedings to which we have all become so accustomed, the guest this week is SCROOBIUS PIP his goddamn self!Working with the formula of such Speech Development Records releases such as 'At Home With Polar' (Polarbear) or 'At Home With Rob' (Rob Auton), Pip sat down in his temporary residence up in Los Angeles and recorded a selection of his poems read from his book 'Poetry In (e)Motion', the graphic poetry novel released all the way back in 2010. Pip's been crazy busy with all manner of podcast and acting related activity of late, over the past couple of years in fact, so this is a very cool opportunity to sit in with your host and indulge in some non 'Ask Pip' episode company for a change! No spoilers as to what you'll be treated to here, but it's a fantastic episode and a different one to usual. It's a goody for the original Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip heads, the solo Pip...

Huey Morgan - Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #151
Welcome welcome welcome to episode 151 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! Very happy to have you aboard. This week is a straight up New Yorican banger, as Pip is joined by the infamous, the notorious, the Fun Lovin' Criminal himself Mister Huey Morgan!A long awaited one right here, as Pip has forged a friendship with Huey over the years so a chat was always on the cards between these two. From his days misbehaving in New York back in the day (now currently causing havoc in Somerset!), to joining the Marines and channeling his inner aggression into more positive areas, to bartending and setting up a band which would later lead to an illustrious music career, all peppered with real life madness - living through 9/11, a standoff with a Hanson member (and close relation), and that appearance on Never Mind The Buzzcocks. Huey is a powerful presence in the music industry and whether you've been down since Fun Lovin' Criminals or picked up on him through his 6 Music show, you'll get a lot out... Hosted on Acast.

And by way of thanks - enjoy this marvelous episode of golf talk with the long awaited guest ANDREW 'BEEF' JOHNSTON!He didn't receive the nickname from a love of beef, or for that matter for having beef with anyone (as you'll hear, it's hard to imagine him having beef with anyone in the world), but from - ahh, you'll have to hear for yourself now won't ya... A lovely chat from a truly loveable character who you may know, and of course may not - either way, as with the Distraction Pieces code, its not about the popularity in the grand media scheme of things, but what kind of interview Pip...

Kelly Marcel - Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #147
WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME once again three more times to your weekly dose of Distraction Pieces Podcast in mp3 format from up in the sky somewhere directly to your earpieces! This week your host Scroobius Pip is joined by none other than his old pal and script/screenwriter Kelly Marcel!A crazy story right here which Kelly unfolds for you, not before she relays how she rescued a fearless but accident prone squirrel and nursed it back to bitey and aggro health... From her days back in the book corner at school (a punishment area, not for recreation) up to her days in the video store hanging with a then fairly green Tom Hardy, and her reasons for ending up there which involved a not so supportive school system, hear how she became a full on fully qualified silver screen smash through various acting jobs (of COURSE The Bill is involved!), up to her crossing paths with the director of all directors himself Stephen Spielberg. The story gets no less intense or full on from there on, as she barrels through such... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Being pals for many a year from the early days, rocking tours together and just being genuine mates who talk and do stuff together, they have a lot to ramble about and many bases are covered - the craft itself, the makers and doers, how they got where they are, what they're up to now, life, love, the universe, the whole thing. So much to enjoy and listen back to, you'll love this one - and you get a nice bonus treat of Polar's track 'Jessica' in there too for good measure, how does that grab ya? Decent. All yours - have...

DrunkCast (Mk7) - Part 3 - Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #145
Welcome welcome welcome and CONGRATULATIONS - you made it to Level Three of the seventh DrunkCast. As such, you are rewarded with another bunch of boozed up business from our bubbly brethren as they tackle a LOT of MMA/UFC and fight talk - a lot - which is bookended with some more podcast talk and a lil' section on relationship chatter sparked by some recent comments from Scarlett Johannson. There is also a rather noisy crescendo to this episode, so just be prepared for your ears and even those around you - it gets messy. You know the routine. Come on, this is the final part of the podcast where Pip gets drunk with two of his mates. What else did you expect?Good work folks, you did grand! Congratulations on grabbing these three DrunkCasts.
