Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!

This week Pip is joined by English professional wrestler WILLIAM REGAL!

A true wrestling fans dream right here, but as always with these slightly more specific episodes, this is definitely not one strictly for the wrestlers... William Regal is a lovely guest and a treat to have on the podcast, and you can clearly hear the joy in Pip's voice when the two get to speaking. Those who are familiar will know about his character and his long road within the wrestling ring and outside it, and here you get a front row chance to hear about everything - the character choices and how he formulated the person you see up there, his original desires to be a wrestler, comedian or clown, Blackpool roots, analogies to the 'bad guy' characters in comedy, how to work with crowds, being a pro, doing the work, and retaining a humble but proud and highly skilled presence in and out of that ring. It will definitely appeal to anyone in the creative arts, as there are elements of which we all share and find common ground on. Some valuable meditations on time and being a grown adult too, which we can all benefit from. Lovely stuff for both wrestling addicts and those who are a clean slate!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!

This week Pip is joined by actor LENNY RUSH!

This isn't the first time Pip's had a younger guest on the podcast, going back to the days of the 'Where's Your Head At' series where he chatted to his goddaughter, but this time he joined by young Lenny who is 12 years old at the time of recording. Lenny is an incredible actor who's been on a lot of very highly regarded BBC shows (and more obviously!), and this is a wonderful conversation where you really get to know Lenny well and catch a glimpse of his wise and great sense of humour. In case you missed something Pip mentions earlier on too, Lenny has Spondyloepiphyseal Dysplasia congenita, a condition which affects growth. This is just to give the correct words to the condition and make sure it's spelled properly here.

They cover a lot of ground here in not a lot of time, but just make sure you have space on your favourite actor lists after hearing and seeing him. Check lnks below for more work and where to find his various actings too!

This week Pip is joined by national acting treasure RUTH MADELEY!

Pip caught up with Ruth to go in on the actorial sciences in some awesome detail, with Ruth going over some of her amazing roles in an illustrious career and all the 'stuff' that comes with it. Born with spina bifada, she has also worked a ton with the Whizz Kidz charity, so she is very much out there putting in work in the realms of disability representation. It's a really interesting chat which shines some well needed light on areas of the acting scene that could benefit from it, but actually all areas of society too. Enjoy the ace chat with Ruth, and peep the links below!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!

Prepare your snacks accordingly (preferably quiet ones) as Pip runs you through his FILMS OF THE YEAR 2022!

Happy and prosperous new years to you all! All of us here at Distraction Pieces wish you a wonderful year ahead in all of your endeavours. Here's hoping for a positive one in 2023. As tradition dictates, here is Pip to deliver his timely rundown of all of the films he saw in 2022, broken down into a criteria of which he will explain, and with clear parameters and boundaries so all is fair and equal. One thing to point out, as is always necessary with the film lists, is that this list is not your list. When Pip mentions a film he loved, the mention of that film does not magically erase the films you loved, nor shuffle the order around of your own lists (mental or physical). So YES your choices may be different but NO your opinions are still valid. But this is not grounds for debate. This is a perfect chance to start 2023 with a positive perspective - let's celebrate the things that are great and not spend a ton of time breaking down why we didn't like the other stuff. I dunno, let's see. Could be the start of a glorious trend... With that in mind - let Pip take you on a walk through the woods while he talks films at ya. ENJOY AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!!!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!

This week Pip forms a power throuple with fellow podcasters JOHN & JOEL for the TV SHOWS OF THE YEAR!

A delightful end of year TV roundup from three people who truly know and care about their televisual intake. These are names you can trust, folks. You might know John and Joel from their own film podcast called Dream Factory (the world's greatest user-generated movie creation podcast), which Pip is a true fan of and contributor to, but if not, here is your chance to get to know them and become fast friends! This podcast goes appropriately deep into the television shows of the year in a hugely positive way, but of course you'll hear about some of the trials and tribulations of being such big devourers of content - the endless options of platforms, the accessibility of them all, and everything else... But really it's a perfect way to get up to speed on the things you might have missed, and also hear people chat about the shows that we all loved throughout the year. Who knows what 2023 has in store for us... But really - who cares? This is 2022 right here! ENJOY!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!

This week Pip is joined by director and screenwriter RIAN JOHNSON!

First thing's first, so you know who you're about to listen to. GLASS ONION: A KNIVES OUT MYSTERY. Okay? Okay. NOW you know! Rian wrote and directed the incredible follow up to Knives Out, which hit cinemas recently and will be with you Netflix possibly right about now. The coverage so far has been nothing but awesome so you'll be in for an absolute sure shot treat with this one. But what do you know about Rian? Well, via the medium of Pip (and in this case, some of Pip's high ranking cinema world accomplices), you're about to find out a whole bunch. The process, the expectations, the media, the time involved, the dress code - all of it. It's a lean episode but goodness does it read heavy. Enjoy!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!

This week Pip is joined for a Xmas tradition catch-up by old pals POLARBEAR and MUSA OKWONGA! Part 2 of 2...

If you're listening to this podcast, I'll make a pretty safe bet that you will be familiar with spoken word superheroes Polar and Musa. If not, I'll make an equally safe bet that if you like Pip, you've now got two friends in waiting, as this crew go back a long way and share a lot of amazing ground, stories, past, influence and style but carry their own unique sparkle and fire. You could add Inua Ellams and Kae Tempest to the gang too, and a ton of others. ANYWAY - this is a continuation of the yearly Xmas drinks catchup tradition that goes back a while, where the crew celebrate and bigup others and their influences, favourites, and really get into the technique and inner workings of it all. The list of topics is too deep to relay here so just trust that between Pip, Polar and Musa, you will have yourself a wonderful time of it.
