Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by the comedian's comedian and Comedian's Comedian maker STUART GOLDSMITH!
One of the hardest working comedian podcasters in the country joins Pip to lock forces and really go in on all things across the spectrum of comedy and way beyond... You'll likely know Stuart from his podcast 'ComComPod' as it's colloquially known, or to use its Government name, The Comedian's Comedian Podcast, where he talks to comedians and using his innate people skills, sparks some very open and vulnerable conversations. It's no surprise that his current special handles a similar thing but with climate emergency at its core - and how do you find the funny in that? We'll find out together. Elsewhere you'll hear loads more of course, including the legendary Big Jeff, ikigai, authenticity, showing up, accepting a podcast's purpose, preaching to the converted, and a little bit of our good pal Brett. All in all though you're in for a genuine treat. So enjoy!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined, once more, by the brilliant and very funny comic, podcaster and host JAMALI MADDIX!
* AUDIO ODDITY IN PIP'S CHANNEL FROM AROUND 4m - 6m30s! It comes and goes but won't trouble you too much...
A glorious return mission for the homie Jamali, as he and Pip link up for another awesome go-round. Jamali is always fantastic whatever you see or him on, and here is a really cool catch up with a bunch of what has happened lately as well as what is to come. The focus for the most part though is the new series he's been making called 'Follow The Leader' - you'll surely have caught his previous series 'Hate Thy Neighbour', and this is not like a follow on from that or anything but if you know Jamali's steez by now you'll definitely get along famously with this. Your topics to enjoy this episode include a crazy Rotterdam adventure gone wrong, shady promoters (see Tribe Called Quest's rule 4080), the new series and the mental conflicts to go through with the content, meeting the main people of each episode in real life, the Louis Theroux machine, and how his heart is comedy. Oh it's a goody this one.
Jamali Maddix: Follow The Leader airs on U&Dave at 10pm each Tuesday from 17th September, with the box-set available to stream free on U from Tuesday 17th September.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined, once more, by the always fabulous and funny comic, podcaster, author, host and producer, FRANKIE BOYLE!
Frankie's name has carried through the decades of comedy, and even a moment of listening to him in conversation reveals a really cool, calm and observant side of him. He's always been a great time on the podcast with a ton of really interesting viewpoints and perspectives, and it's a really nice time to hear him in a different mode that's not necessarily standup or host mode. As we hear, this can be a response to the context of the recording, but Frankie is adept at all sides - standup, hosting, podcasting, and as we hear here - authoring books! So you'll enjoy this ace chat which goes into the whole lot - the book, the temporary mind-fence of recording, hotel time, Palestine views, the media in general, Frank Quitely, and so much more. A lovely one. ENJOY!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by the very funny comic ROSCO McCLELLAND!
A delicious ep featuring the Fringe star, who joins Pip for a really great chat on all things comedy, but by no means limited to... Tangents are the order of the day, and good god do we have 'em for ya. Covering a bunch of goodness from Dr Theatre, to stage persona, to plumbing, to the Fringe and the bucket speech, to his previous years in bands and how that served his stage time, getting the kickstart into comedy, Twitch and a TON in between, you're gonna have so much to enjoy in this one. Go in, enjoy yourself.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by the incredibly funny comic PHIL WANG!
...a comic who, at time of podcast release, has a Netflix special VERY near on the horizon (if the horizon can be considered a near and far thing). This is a really fun chat bringing all the goodness you would wish for from someone who's been dominating stages for a good minute now, and a comic who's work you can enjoy on a bunch of different platforms. He's not on the Fringe circuit at this moment (and you can hear the freedom in his voice!), but the work is about to begin with the Netflix special promo... Anyway - all that aside - enjoy this naturally freeflowing conversation covering multiculturalism, the past riots, earnestness, repetition, Malaysian cuisine, gaming, (w)angst and all things process. Awesome stuff, enjoy!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by the acting treasure who is currently starring in 'Death Of England: Michael' - it's THOMAS COOMBES!
On that subject, you'll hear a lot about Death Of England in this ep as Thomas breaks down the prep and schedule of the whole thing (three individual plays, one of which he is the solo star) which sounds utterly gruelling... Aside from that, the whole project is a magnificent work and for sure deserves viewing and attendance. Otherwise, Thomas goes in on a ton of his other roles, including The Acolyte, Boiling Point and Baby Reindeer, as well as celebrating the goodness of Stephen Grahame when the chance arises. A great chat and definitely something for all, especially those of actorial interest.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by podcast pal and Hardcore Listing homie STU WHIFFEN to celebrate the life of one of the most unconventional but most memorable soundpeople in the game, who sadly passed on in the middle of this year - SOUNDMAN JIM!
You'll notice that there are exclamation marks still present there on the intro words. Well, to anyone who was fortunate enough to cross paths with Jim, you'd know that while his absence is incredibly sad and is mourned in full, his presence in life was one to truly enjoy and always brought light and laughter to those around to absorb it. In this episode, you'll hear a nice few anecdotes about Pip and Stu's experiences working and socialising with the legendary human, and while this isn't someone who is a celebrity, famous, or a name that everyone will recognise, it's a really lovely chance to be let in on a side of life that you might not otherwise see. I'm sure we all have some kind of iteration of a Jim in our lives, whoever that may be for you, so you might relate and really enjoy hearing about the man, but if not, feel free to join in on hearing about someone who genuinely meant a lot to many people and was such a big part in a lot of folks careers - including the old Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip days! RIP SOUNDMAN JIM X

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by charming and very funny comic PAUL FOOT!
A very cool gathering of Pip and Paul, celebrating all things fun and funny in an interesting perspective of glancing through the prism of it all. It's a lovely addition to the Paul lover's collection but as always on here, a great primer for those yet uninitiated. Among the topical birdsnest you can expect chat incoporating the old chestnut of London travel zones (of particular interest to anyone living outside of London), living in a 'Shire, the art of the featured crowd member, starting out in comedy, mental health, doing time up at the Edinburgh Fringe and embodiment - and perhaps even a hint of over-embodiment? You be the judge! A lovely fireside chat vibe, you'll love it.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by fabulous writer, comic and podcaster SOPHIE DUKER!
Right from jump, this episode vetures into the good stuff - just assume the warm up pleasantries were taken care of before the recording started, as this comes in hot! An excellent episode with Pip and Sophie untangling a ton of the world's weirdness and ugliness but somehow finding some beauty in amongs the wreckage. It can feel imposible at times but hopefully you'll also find some silver linings with this great chat. A ton of ground covered, and don't forget that you can catch up with Sophie up at the Edinburgh Fringe (dates below) in August for a healthy dose of the good stuff in the 'But Daddy I Love Her' show. ENJOY!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by the brilliant comic, writer, actor and author ROB DELANEY!
Rob's presence was really made clear back in the glory days of the innocent social media platform Twitter, when such activities felt more playful and fun, and podcasting was still formulating and developing. Since then he's truly made it obvious why such a presence is necessary, as a wearer of many hats in the comic-leaning section of the greater media world. You'll hear about Rob's more recent projects, including his character development in Deadpool & Wolverine, his book where he writes openly about dearly departed son Henry, social media, the NHS, politics (where do you start) and so much more - a delicate balance of fun and moving which will really enrich your listening day. Enjoy.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip chats acting in THE ACOLYTE and HOUSE OF THE DRAGON, acompanied by Hardcore Listing homie CHRIS GLASSON!
It might have been tricky for Pip to interview himself to talk about recent acting roles in two of the biggest franchises in media history (Star Wars and Game Of Thrones EVER HEARD OF THEM), so he has enlisted the help of fellow podcasting pal and general pal Chris from Hardcore Listing to do the honours. It's a great little chat from a side of the curtain we don't always get to see behind, and definitely a couple of roles worth stopping to observe and celebrate. Enjoy this awesome conversation about how the whole thing went down, progressed and wrapped up. ENJOY! And be sure to catch all said programs on the links below.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined once more by acting pal and all round beam of light STEVEN OGG!
A repeat showing from friend of the show and acting / performing heavyweight Steven, who always brings forth a tide of positivity and inspiration on the show. A very fun and cosy gathering as he and Pip get to chatting about acting, the sciences behind the whole thing in all degrees of detail, his new book of poetry 'Catharse-Is', collaborating and performance and getting together to create in the same room, accents, death, and what sounds like an escape room in the studio they're recording in. All good stuff, and a ton for you to enjoy be you long term fan of Steven or newcomer to the party.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by two of the crew behind People Just Do Nothing (and tons more) STEVE STAMP & ALLAN 'SEAPA' MUSTAFA!
The 'tons more' on the above description is holding up a bunch of heavy material of course, as they do MUCH that deserves attention and commentary. Pip has a good history with the Kurupt FM crew having had them on in various guises in previous episodes, and this one is a reduced but no less awesome gathering. Hear the two chat about all sorts including their Sunday Brunch appearance, The Curse, People Just Do Nothing, Peacock and all the various projects they've undertaken, chemistry with actors, 'scenes of an intimate nature', Top Boy, self-made mythologies, ah just about everything. So much enjoyment - jump right in.

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH from all at the Distraction Pieces Podcast!
Every Friday there will be a Rewind episode featuring one of our friends, in case you missed it or simply want to revisit some wonderful chats...
Below is the original writeup from the episode, in this case from Wednesday, April 13, 2022.
Welcome, welcome, welcome to EPISODE 447 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by the incredible poet, writer and all round legend KAE TEMPEST!
By all means, this writeup could end there - I mean the name Kae Tempest is essentially an instant download. But if you're still waiting for a hard sell in this description, just know that this is a wonderful, heartfelt, funny, inspiring and uplifting chat with Kae and Pip about - well, the whole thing. Life, love and the universe. Yin and yang. All that good stuff. Kae's been on the Distraction Pieces Podcast and you should also add those to your collection but whatever you do, don't let this one fall through your fingers. Take it in, enjoy, feel it. Oh and DO peep the new album too - Kae's running the road so also catch them rock a city near you soon...

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by the fabulous comic (stage and sketch), writer and podcaster STEVIE MARTIN!
A glorious comical conversation with Pip and Stevie, who is someone to keep up with in the current comedy scene for real. You can actually make a start on that this year if you're in Edinburgh at the Fringe so be alert for that! Stevie made a huge name around the pandemical times via some inspired and hilarious sketch work (often in collaboration with the awesome Lola-Rose Maxwell), but it was more like a natural phenomenon that was waiting to happen. Stevie's been on the grind for a while now and this chat hints at the hard work involved, including building of audiences, podcasting, Fringe madness, journalism, sketch writing and directing, the online forest, ad work, ComComPod, and so much more. Truly enjoyable, catch up with Stevie and enjoy!

Every Friday there will be a Rewind episode featuring one of our friends, in case you missed it or simply want to revisit some wonderful chats...
Below is the original writeup from the episode, in this case from Wednesday, February 26, 2020.
Welcome, welcome, welcome to EPISODE 314 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by the fantastic in every way comedian, writer and actor MAE MARTIN!
A tremendous meetup of Pip and Mae, and dare I say a long overdue one at that… You’ll get to hear all about Mae in the greater scale and sense, from back in the day to… now… in the day…? Yeah that sounds fine to me… But yeah, everything from then to now, including what she is doing THIS VERY MOMENT, and by that of course I mean starring in the simultaneously hilariously funny and brutally honest Feel Good (well, coming in March), which looks set to blow up worldwide. So expect to hear it all from how to view the series (best served binged), the weirdness of editing trailers, getting the correct audience, Canada (Oh Canada), the process of getting a set together, Mae the character and Mae the person, sex scenes and writing a proudly LGBT show, humanising addition, the casting process, digging deep into personal history and the transition from Canada to London but SO MUCH MORE of course. Ladies and gentlemen, your new best friend, Mae Martin!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by esteemed filmmaker JEFF NICHOLS!
Jeff's work speaks for itself, as a cursory glance at his IMDB page will surely reveal. In speaking for itself, this means basically that you see a list of films he's worked on that is essentially wall-to-wall bangers to put it bluntly. You'll also see connective tissue by way of powerfully great actor Michael Shannon, who is a through-line in Jeff's cinematic output. This chat is a really nice and easy back and forth with Pip and Jeff, getting into aspects of casting, storytelling, detail, adaptation and the enigmatic inside to outside world of actors. OH and also a bonus two part question from a very highly rated actor who you'll be very excited to hear from, trust us. No spoilers. Enjoy this one, it's a sureshot for anyone of a cinematic leaning, and those who appreciate the mysterious art of film making.

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH from all at the Distraction Pieces Podcast!
Every Friday there will be a Rewind episode featuring one of our friends, in case you missed it or simply want to revisit some wonderful chats...
Originally broadcast Wednesday, September 9, 2015.
Welcome, welcome, welcome to EPISODE 57 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by musician, comic, actor, writer and so much more, Jordan Gray aka Tall Dark Friend!
This writeup is not from the original episode, but just a quick shout about Jordan. This was their first appearance on Distraction Pieces, the first of many it would turn out, and is one of the episodes you might have heard Pip cite many a time on subsequent episodes. One thing to bear in mind is that this is from almost 10 years ago at this point, and at this point in history we are now at episode 570+. So as you can well imagine, a LOT has been discussed since, much has been learned, many perspectives have been sharpened and multiplied, and we've seen a huge amount happening in the intervening years. Keep this in mind while listening, but also as Jordan has had some incredible leaps and bounds career-wise. A fascinating glimpse back in time, and definitely look back at the then future episodes with show pal Jordan!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by comic, actor, writer and podcaster SARA BARRON!
If you're a long-term DPP listener this is an episode that will just be a pure snack treat for you, and likely you will be well on your merry way listening right now without even glancing at this write-up (as you will surely know Sara and if not, her circle of pals). BUT - if you are not familiar with Sara, prepare for a very fun, open and generally 'good business' episode with someone who is well versed and sharp in all aspects of the game (be it acting, podcasting, comedy and so on). One of the main threads linking it together is TV shows, but you'll hear goodies involving comedy and Fringe shows (including the ups and downs of all that), and all the other facets of Sara's world. Super nice - you'll get along well!

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH from all at the Distraction Pieces Podcast!
Every Friday there will be a Rewind episode featuring one of our friends, in case you missed it or simply want to revisit some wonderful chats...
Below is the original writeup from the episode, in this case from Wednesday, February 12, 2020.
Welcome, welcome, welcome to EPISODE 311 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by activist, author and actor (all the A’s), Michael Cashman! Sorry - let me correct that - Baron Cashman CBE!
An amazing meeting this week with Pip and Michael, a man whose experience and knowledge will come shining through immediately upon listening. As a founder of Stonewall (with Ian McKellen), ex-member of European Parliament, activist and former actor (those of us who grew up on Eastenders will remember him as Colin), his life has been a genuine document of ups and downs, highs and lows, but all navigated with love, conviction and positivity. His story is moving, uplifting and at times incredibly unfair, but as you will hear - from all of this, pure goodness has been his reward. Over 30 years of his journey has been underpinned by long term partner Paul, who is unfortunately no longer with us but as you’ll hear, is spoken of by Michael with such love and compassion and it’s pretty much impossible to not be stirred by - well, the whole conversation, let’s be frank. The rest is yours to discover - listen, learn, and become better acquainted with a strong force for good in the world. Welcome, Michael!
His book 'One Of Them' is available now on Bloomsbury!
