James Buckley - Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #144
WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME (three in a row, no commas) to another slammer of an episode of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! A proper jolly episode it is too, as Pip is joined by James Buckley, or as you may know him, Jay from The Inbetweeners! Or indeed any other given name of one of his many roles on television...Pip was introduced to James via his DrunkCast (and real life) mate Stu Whiffen, and here we are in the room with the two, kicking it like old mates - a nice and broad-ranging conversation, hitting on The Inbetweeners as you would expect and demand, playing young Del Boy in Rock & Chips, his own computer gaming Youtube channel 'Completed It Mate' and how he started and developed it all, his life out in Los Angeles and the myriad weirdness within, and being an actor in general. His take on being an Englishman out there and auditioning is well worth peeping, and hints and how UK folk have a knack for cutting through that actor-type-stuff with genuine awkward UK charm. Race relations... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome welcome welcome to EPISODE 143!A fantastic banter with Pip and Susan, going in deep on all aspects of her personal history, all the way back to her school days in a multicultural environment and the many positive influences that can have, to being encouraged to apply to the National Youth Theatre by a teacher, and her inspiring journey through to where she currently finds herself atop the summit of UK acting talent! A super entertaining journey, and a lovely chat bringing in tales of her parents, her neighbours (good, bad and conflicted), her teachers, mates, acting roles and general outlook on the whole path, as well as - of course - her killing it in 'Chewing Gum' and 'Crazyhead'. She'll make you smile for certain, and as her new pal you should keep... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome, welcome, and BOOM another welcome right there to this, episode 140 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! Please welcome (three times) to the stage, Lancaster's indie Queen, frontwoman of The Lovely Eggs, Holly Ross!A glorious chat with a hardcore touring indie band veteran, and thoroughly enlightening at that - a proper peek behind the curtain (or the sliding door of a tourvan) at what goes on in the day to day, which is a ton of hard work in itself but add to THAT a small child and you have yourself a full plate with all the trimmings... But Holly shows it can be done, and this is a great, inspiring back and forth revealing some fantastic life-hacks for bands and parents in bands who are on the road, as well as a comprehensive rundown of Holly's history in the indie scene. Not only that, hear how awesome their fanbase is too! Get involved - get listening, Holly's ace and you should peep the music of The Lovely Eggs (and if you want to dig deeper, her old band Angelica too).... Hosted on Acast.

Ancilla van de Leest - Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #137
Welcome, welcome, welcome (or indeed, goedemorgen, goedemiddag, goedenavond) to Pip's second half of the Dutch mini-podcast tour! It may have been a mini round-the-houses whirlwind but he fit in a lot, and in episode 137 he is joined by none other than Ancilla van de Leest of the Pirate Party!Now Pip may be bending one of the self imposed rules he set a while ago by having a politician on the show, but there is a fascinating scene to be set and tale to be told in Ancilla's journey to where she currently finds herself. It's been a while in the works but they finally got to sit and talk, and here's your chance to sit in on an educational and hopefully inspiring discussion regarding the Pirate Party itself (in he Netherlands and worldwide), how it works, started, and functions (Pirate Bay is heavy in there), her own history and all that entails, how she got into politics (Pip is involved!!), net privacy and the huge problems which arise from that, digital rights, and all manner of deep political goodness...
