Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip

WELCOME, WELCOME, WELCOME to episode 136 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! A seasonally appropriate episode at that, as Pip is joined by the Ice Man himself, the legendary Dutch daredevil Mr Wim Hof! Don't get all wrapped and warm for this one - it's going to get incredibly frosty up in here...Chances are you may not already have made Wim's acquaintance - that's fine, for after this podcast you will most likely be digging around online and listening to his glorious cadence for hours to follow... If you have already broken the ice (skate over that pun) (and that one) with the man, you will surely be up to speed on The Wim Hof Technique, his apparently superhuman abilities to withstand cold, his infectiously positive and inspiring tones and talking points and his many accomplishments in the field of human endurance. Either way, this is a brilliant conversation (recorded from Wim's home in the outskirts of Amsterdam) where you will learn about his said method, how he came upon such... Hosted on Acast.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! Shoutouts to Team 3W as always! Nothing less than three welcomes would suffice for this week's DPP greatness, as we proudly present to you the Distraction Pieces two-part Homelessness Special, featuring two wonderful podcasts for your listening pleasure. For the first instalment, please welcome (three times, you know the deal) Manchester's 'Mustard Tree', an organisation giving opportunity and dignity to the homeless through a huge variety of means. It's a very cold and none-too-friendly time of year temperature-wise, and now is a perfect time to address the issue that faces all too many people in the UK (and naturally, worldwide).Pip sits down with Soraya (communications manager up at Mustard Tree) and Anthony (a shining star of the Mustard Tree organisation and process) to gain insight into the who, the why, the where and how of the organisation. It's hugely inspiring and a breath of fresh air to hear homelessness discussed... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME to EPISODE 133 of the DISTRACTION PIECES PODCAST with SCROOBIUS PIP! That looks like the appropriate amount of upper-case lettering for episode 133. Let's get on shall we? A true smash of an episode right here as we welcome aboard the man with many faces, James McAvoy!Pip was able to snag some time with the warm and inviting Glasgow heavyweight to get in deep about his new film 'Split', directed by M Night Shyamalan, which is released on January 20th. The film concerns a main character with 'DID' (Dissociative Identity Disorder), played by James, who has an internal cast of around 23 personalities which we see rotate throughout the film. Surely an epic undertaking for any actor, and James breaks down his experience and how he approached this huge role. We hear how his past drama school days informed his outlook on his profession and how it can assist any actor's career, the film industry in general and Scotland's part in it, his acting past and in general, much science overall!...

Well, whatever way the band has made it into your radar, now's the time to "look for the similarities, not the differences" (a poignant quote from this week and last week, coincidentally enough) as we get into the life of Matt and the many, MANY trials and tribulations of being in an ultra popular pop band in the early 00's.Who would have thought it would be so tricky... A fascinating... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

WASSSUUUP WASSSUUUP WASSSUUUP to this, your fourth and therefore FINAL DrunkCast podcast of 2016 with your three very wise and verrry drunken men (that'll be Scroobius Pip, Chris Glasson and Stu Whiffen), and the two equally drunken souls who accompany the trio (Brett Goldstein and Romesh Ranganathan - actually Romesh is considerably more drunk than everyone else)! Ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy the final quarter of the mayhem...So what do we have here... Well - you know the routine. And this time the gang started with the best of intentions to give you a full and comprehensive rundown, month by month, of the year, but as you will hear, these best intentions quickly unravel into untraceable tangents, full on banter assault and general intoxicated insanity... The views are not on the fence, the punches are not pulled... 'Tis the season for the world to be put to rights by the Distraction Pieces fellowship, so join in and come aboard - grab a ringside seat, secure your snacks and nestle into that... Hosted on Acast.

Alas, we are not in the salubrious confines of the Whiff Inn for this one, but deep in the Soho Radio labs - all good though - you can expect some full on UFC/MMA chat (at Brett and Romesh's...
