WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME one and all to your weekly (and sometimes more) delivery of the Distraction Pieces Podcast hosted as always by Scroobius Pip! And this week it's another comedic banger as he is joined by Marcus Brigstocke!A wonderful chat from start to end as Pip gets impossibly deep into the Marcus Brigstocke archives, combing through his incredibly heavy childhood and teen years, his comedic origins/roots/outlook and influence and all that entails (with a healthy amount of Fringe talk), his jazz interests with some good Miles Davis talk, his political leanings and a fascinating, emotional ride all the way through in which everything ties together perfectly. Superb.* 'The Wire' spoilers at around the 1h16s mark, just so you know.Marcus is here: www.marcusbrigstocke.com...and here: https://twitter.com/marcusbrigFollow and enjoy!

Welcome welcome welcome (no John Oliver) to your weekly Distraction Pieces podcast with Scroobius Pip! It's been an all the way live run of DPP goodness of late with Pip's UK book tour (hopefully you made it to a show or caught the book), but here he nails down an in-person in-studio guest - Perth's very own comic genius Brendon Burns!Wonderful stuff from start to end, with a lively tale of Brendon's upbringing and comic roots - which includes one of the simultaneously greatest and most horrible first show stories which is perfectly painful - and his influences stemming from black comics back in the 70s, politics and the hard left, how to work a crowd and the science of doing so, spoken word and poetry and what they are, Australia, wrestling talk (pertinent to his show with Colt Cabana) and good old fashioned podcast chat! Freeflowing and satisfying, get in and enjoy......And for sure you'll want to peep his own podcast too - 'Dumb White Guy', which is available here:https://soundcloud.com/brendonburns

Welcome, welcome, and as custom dictates, a third welcome upon you to the on-the-road globetrotting (UK-trotting) Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This marks your second live book tour podcast, this time broadcasting live (at the time) from Stand 3 in Edinburgh!Treats upon treats upon treats is what you have, with a nice intro holler from Pip, and a traditional DPP setup with some grand guest chat - this time from SAGE FRANCIS and B DOLAN no less! The Strange Famous brothers settle down with Pip to run down the current state of US politics, Edinburgh Fringe politics, and life politics in general. Awesome business. Following that we have the audience-as-guest section where the chat is directed by YOU (THEM - the audience) (it could have been you though, as you may well have been one of the guests), and much ground is covered as always, from spoken word and poetry (pottery?) and the slam scene, previous guests, super powers, and ending up in a really important and interesting revelation/self...

Another handful of welcomes all over your podcast listening device as we welcome you to the final part of the DrunkCast trilogy, in episode 107 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast!More treats in store over here from start to end as the gang have now warmed into their seats and are all comfortable and relaxed in their respective drunken stupors. A surprisingly controlled performance from all three I'm sure you'll agree, with a very nice setup including the man, the myth - Jackamo Brown and the multitudes he contains, fight talk with highlights from the extended run Pip and Chris shared - a good bit of MMA/UFC business covered here, CM Punk and all controversies involved, and, last but not least... Introducing Craig. You really ought to stick around for Craig. And indeed, you can show your support and enjoyment of young Craig by tweeting #CRAIGCAST at the crew.

Welcome (((welcome))) (((welcome))) (used an echo on that one) to PART 2 of DRUNKCAST PART 4 which is EPISODE 107 of the Distraction Pieces podcast! Enough with the numbers. Let's get into it.A pretty powerful and actually rather sobering talk about suicide straight off the bat, which is ultimately uplifting and very honest and refreshing, which melts into topics including Caroline Aherne and how she touched on the UK's funny/thoughtful/melancholy nerve so well, film talk in general, Chris's fictional dog (classic material) and a charming tale involving the all engulfing force which is Jedward. All will be revealed. Top up and get in.*slight misophonia warning - items get crunched at various points so stick it out, it's not that bad...

You can go right ahead and multiply that welcome by 3, ladies and gentlemen, for this is episode 107 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast - but not only that - listen very closely and you'll hear a bottle being struck open and a can going >KSHHH< in the distance - it's another DrunkCast!This is the fourth time we join Pip, Stu and Chris down in the Whiff Inn (Stu's pub - surname Whiffen - you get it), and it's textbook goodness from the inebriated gang as always and it's only part 1! First of all, go and find Limp Bizkit's 'Break Stuff', put it on repeat, and sit back as we join in on a good hour or so of MMA / UFC banter, famous/infamous tribute acts, Pip's favourite film Say Anything, a heavy and rough vehicular run-in on a dark night in London, a very touching Glastonbury (which I think Chris missed a trick on by not referring to it as 'Glassonbury' but, there we go) and the Queen on high Cyndi Lauper.ALSO - listen to the podcast for the question, BUT address your answers to #SAYDRUNKCAST. Good...
