Ed Skrein [part 1 of 2] - Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #94
Welcome, welcome WELCOME to the 94th episode of Distraction Pieces, an episode so uncontainably fresh it's a two parter! Come around and witness the brilliance of North London's rapper-turned-actor phenomenon mister Ed Skrein!Pure inspirational joy right here while Pip converses with Skrein ("like wine" if you were pondering) and gets unfathomably deep about Ed's insane four year ascension into the world of acting, which threw him into such situations as, oh just a little series you might know as Game Of Thrones, and cinema sureshots such as Transporter Refueled, Kill Your Friends, the Distraction Pieces favourite (in line with most of the world) Deadpool, and his early introduction into the acting scene alongside rapper/singer/director Plan B in 'Ill Manors'. All peppered with his love of hip hop and grime, and wrapped up in a perfect mantra which you should and will take with you and involve in your own life. You'll know when you hear it... Brilliant. And this is only part one... Grab part two right away! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Blindboy of The Rubberbandits - Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #89
Here. Have a welcome. In fact, nah brother man, here have three. Okay fair enough, no Mr Wendall references going forward. Please welcome this week's truly unique and fascinating guest, it's Limerick's own Blindboy from The Rubberbandits!An absorbing and engaging chat with a very interesting character, who plays half of the Irish comedy music duo who perform and roam the earth with plastic bags over their faces. If you are unfamiliar with the two, let Blindboy take you through it himself as we become acquainted with the very deep thinking and articulate performer, and get an insight into the iceberg-like hidden depths of their songs, how their popularity became a weight on their shoulders which they shook off and refreshed, their forward thinking and evolved points of view and how they really work the humour as a trojan horse (outside) (you'll get it) for their progressive thinking. Oh and Baudrillard and Sartre get a shout out too yo. Excellent stuff. Also - sound note - it may sound scarily like... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
