Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by director BABAK ANVARI!
See Wednesday's episode for the George side of things but this is the other side of the camera right here! Pip and Babak unexpectedly go back a way, as you'll hear up top on this episode, and from then on it's all about Babak - from their surprise meet at Wireless around 2008, to his background in film assisting with the editor's mind of it all, short films, his film Under The Shadow, childhood in Iran and adulthood in the UK, the masochism involved in film making and a huge amount more. The perfect accompaniment to Wednesday's goodness! Enjoy.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by creative / creator and Twitch legend JAMES HOUSTON aka 1030 for a very special episode...
Those more up on the Twitch universe will know 1030 for sure as the hands-on tech creator who is very much a part of the greater community of good people over there. He met Pip via the platform, and over the years has secured a beautiful bond which - to cut to the chase - has resulted in the two of them crafting a blueprint for a film! This film, 'Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty (A Long Short Film)' is now available to support on Kickstarter, with all information in the link and a bunch in the podcast itself. On the podcast, you'll hear more about the finer details of how the financial process will work, along with what the plan is for the film and all of that good stuff. There's so much happening on this one, primarly geared around the film but also about the working history of James / 1030, media, the film world and so much more, as well as a true genuine bonus treat at the end which is unlike nothing else you've ever heard. Certainly within the realms of Distraction Pieces anyway. Support the Kickstarter and get involved if it's within your means, and otherwise shout far and wide about this one! It'll be fabulous.

We Need You! (w/ James Houston aka 1030) • Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #570

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by host, comic, writer and podcaster BEC HILL!
One of those long time coming podcasts that even Pip thought had taken place in our 500+ episode history... It's so very welcome though and a very important piece filled in the puzzle, as Bec is a true delight and wonderful presence right here in the DPP archive. Things kick off with candy eating techniques (never not niche over here), and include Fringe experiences / expectations / realities, her Makeaway Takeaway show on CITV and how that started and concluded, wrestling practice, a multitude of show pitches, and the podcasting life. All great stuff and super fun as you can imagine. ENJOY! PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting nature

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by activist, Twitch pro and all round treasure from Scotland PICKLEBEE aka BETH DOUGLAS!
You may have seen the word Twitch just there and perhaps figured that this would be a podcast all about Twitch. Dear listener this is indeed not the case, and to ignore on that basis is to ignore an extremely fascinating, deep and also FUN chat with the wonderful Picklebee! It's a pretty far and wide ranging one, which goes into Beth's own history and experience of being a trans person in this wild world, activism and politics - Scottish and otherwise, JK Rowling's eerily unquenchable thirst for losing out loud, the mostly safe-space of Twitch and harbouring a community on there, social media and also the origins of the name Picklebee which I'm sure you're curious about... Folks, if you are unfamiliar with Picklebee, this is literally your invitation to make a new friend, hand delivered to your door. Open and enjoy!  PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting nature

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by multi-appearance trophy holder but most importantly, wide ranging awesome actor, JOHN BRADLEY!
The acting part is of course more important than the amount of appearances but it's nice to know that John has a home at Distraction Pieces. With the massive Netflix show 'Three Body Problem' making all kinds of waves of late, it's good to catch him on yet another ascent into the stratosphere but also really cool to hear how things have been going since the last time. And indeed, since the beginning of the acting career. A joy as always, as John's friendly voice takes you through all sorts of elements encountered in the world of cinema and television, including his range of roles, exposure to new waves of audiences, Game Of Thrones, pretending, growing through experience, and all sorts more. A delight - enjoy!  PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting nature

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by comic, host, podcaster and writer SUZI RUFFELL!
Those of you thinking "Wait, has Suzi not been on yet?" would be forgiven in an instant, as yes indeed you would have thought a Suzi appearance would have been completed by now. But no! Through sheer schedule alignment and dates and such like, it's only been possible at this point so without focusing on the past too much, let's jump into the now and enjoy Suzi in the present! It's a great episode as you would expect, which handles a huge amount including social media, process, gathering material, Bake Off, womens football, podcasting and so much more. A very welcome appearance and the first of many, we hope! Enjoy Suzi! PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting nature
