Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by actor, comic and podcaster BILAL ZAFAR!
A lovely meeting with Bilal, which gets into the under the bonnet mechanics of this multi-disciplined superstar with a lot of fun in the process. Bilal balances many different hats including acting, podcasts, comedy and streaming too so it's fascinating to hear how all that works. So much, including the Fringe and the complexities within, streaming and comedy in pandemic times, out of sync reviews, Chris Morris and the usefulness of satire, Pro Evo Soccer, endometriosis (check the link below for more on that), podcasting and finding the fun in acting. As you can see, it's a wide ranging one...! 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

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined for a second time by the zen master actor ED SKREIN!
Dedicated listeners will remember the refrain of Ed's original appearance on here - "Why the fuck not?" - a mantra that will hopefully have provided a nice ass-kicking to get things done, or motivation to make some things happen. Well here is the very cool, calm and collected Ed back again to chat about so much but somewhat centrally revolving around the actorial sciences. They have a bunch of shared ground, and it's really nice to hear what Ed's been up to since that initial appearance, and what life has looked like since the beginning of the journey back in 2010 or so. A huge amount of ground that cannot be synopsised here so just jump in and trust that you'll enjoy the ride. And peep the first appearance if you missed it too!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by return awesome guest, comic, podcaster and author SOFIE HAGEN!
A fantastic meeting of minds for second time round, as Pip catches up with Sofie to talk about all things that have happened since the first go around! Although it's very fair to say that a good amount of chat is devoted to their new book 'Will I Ever Have Sex Again?', which is some essential reading for a huge amount of people. More people than Sofie initially thought, in fact. So expect some goodness including social expectations, writing a book on a subject that you don't see books about, messy relationships, gender and sexuality and 'the club'. You'll get it. Enjoy!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by YOU! The listeners... It's an April 2024 edition of ASK PIP!
I wouldn't dare blow the spot on what you're about to hear BUT - just so you're aware of what zones might get a look-in, you can expect to hear topics including: actor pay and how much some get, teacakes vs hot cross buns, casting historically, Shogun, The Scroobius and how 2024 could see the Summer Of Scroobius (for quick reference for the drinkers among you, it's Pepsi Max mixed with Slingsbury Gin), hot sandwiches, and MCCS Superspies. It's like a solo sober Drunkcast. ENJOY! PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting nature

Ask Pip • Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #563

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by friend and comrade in music and life, B. DOLAN!
You will have surely heard if not every appearance from B on here, then at least the previous one which went into what life has looked like for him since the pandemic. In a nutshell, it's been a period of immense and continued re-invention and almost re-introduction to the world at large, coming out of surgery and therapy which was necessary to avoid life changing injury. Chances are that a lot of you will know B from rap music and tours over the years, and a lot might know him from Twitch, but either way (and if neither, too!), you're in for a sureshot as he and Pip catch up on life, music, album making, tours and how that looks these days, yoga, the world itself on the whole, and outlooks. Enjoy, and peep the rest of the of the past appearances too - it's a hell of an arc. PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting nature
