Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip

WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME to episode ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN of the Distraction Pieces Podcast, hosted by Scroobius Pip! And once more it's another solid slammer of a show, this week featuring Neil Woods of UK LEAP and now published author!The perfect companion podcast to your steady diet of Distraction Pieces Network goodness (alongside Say Why To Drugs and Stop & Search), as Neil brings nothing but wisdom, refreshing outlooks and sobering stories which you will be glad you sat in on... Neil talks about his background in the police force, beginning as an honest, innocent and well-meaning officer, then going on to chart his course into full on undercover work and the incredibly murky, almost entirely lights-out-dark world of the underground drug scene and the dealers who operate within. Scary, threatening and funny stories from a true veteran, and an enlightening look into the world of prohibition alternatives and the work that UK LEAP does behind and in front of the scenes.

W-W-WELCOME to DISTRACTION PIECES PODCAST: EPISODE 113: PART 2 - featuring, as before, Scroobius Pip as always, and again, as before, Limmy! Let's pick up from part 1 shall we...?Another revealing and refreshing nugget of podcast goodness fading in seamlessly from the previous instalment, where we join Limmy's quest from the crushing lows and internal struggles that one may face, as Limmy talks honestly and openly about fatherhood and life in general, and his climbing of the comedy ladder right up to his current touring antics, book release and future plans. Brilliant.

WELCOME welcome welcome high and low, far and wide, to another bumper of a Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! Congratulations on your download. You have made the correct choice. Especially being that this week the guest is comedy giant Brian "Limmy" Limond!A perfect back and forth with Glasgow's comic mastermind Limmy (and on occasion, mainly forth as Pip joins us, the listener, and lets Limmy hold court!), combing through the action packed origin story and leading us right up to around the present day, exposing the thrilling fun times as well as revealing the deep dark lows in a thoroughly down to earth fashion, including drink, fatherhood and all that entails. Such a powerful and relatable talk, and definitely one for the Limmy heads as well as those who are perhaps unfamiliar with the man behind 'Limmy's Show' and 'Daft Wee Stories' among so much more... PART TWO UP NEXT!!!LIMMY SOCIAL... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME one and all to your weekly (and sometimes more) delivery of the Distraction Pieces Podcast hosted as always by Scroobius Pip! And this week it's another comedic banger as he is joined by Marcus Brigstocke!A wonderful chat from start to end as Pip gets impossibly deep into the Marcus Brigstocke archives, combing through his incredibly heavy childhood and teen years, his comedic origins/roots/outlook and influence and all that entails (with a healthy amount of Fringe talk), his jazz interests with some good Miles Davis talk, his political leanings and a fascinating, emotional ride all the way through in which everything ties together perfectly. Superb.* 'The Wire' spoilers at around the 1h16s mark, just so you know.Marcus is here: www.marcusbrigstocke.com...and here: https://twitter.com/marcusbrigFollow and enjoy! Hosted on Acast.

Welcome welcome welcome (no John Oliver) to your weekly Distraction Pieces podcast with Scroobius Pip! It's been an all the way live run of DPP goodness of late with Pip's UK book tour (hopefully you made it to a show or caught the book), but here he nails down an in-person in-studio guest - Perth's very own comic genius Brendon Burns!Wonderful stuff from start to end, with a lively tale of Brendon's upbringing and comic roots - which includes one of the simultaneously greatest and most horrible first show stories which is perfectly painful - and his influences stemming from black comics back in the 70s, politics and the hard left, how to work a crowd and the science of doing so, spoken word and poetry and what they are, Australia, wrestling talk (pertinent to his show with Colt Cabana) and good old fashioned podcast chat! Freeflowing and satisfying, get in and enjoy......And for sure you'll want to peep his own podcast too - 'Dumb White Guy', which is available here:https://soundcloud.com/brendonburns Hosted on Acast.

The Strange Famous brothers settle down with Pip to run down the current state of US politics, Edinburgh Fringe politics, and life politics in general. Awesome business. Following that we have the audience-as-guest section where the chat is directed by YOU (THEM - the audience) (it could have been you though, as you may well have been one of the guests), and much ground is covered as always, from spoken word and poetry (pottery?) and the slam scene, previous guests, super powers, and ending up in a really important and interesting revelation/self...
