Welcome / Welcome / Welcome aboard to episode number 105 of the absolutely goddamn fabulous Distraction Pieces Podcast, with your host Scroobius Pip who is joined this week by Jordan Stephens of Rizzle Kicks!A fantastic session with Jordan, half of the UK's massive hip hop band who had crazy huge success a handful of years back (and continue to, naturally) who you will surely have heard on radios and TV and at festivals all over the globe. Rizzle Kicks live on, and you will hear some of the forthcoming plans on here of course, but join Pip and Jordan as you hear his own side of the story, a side which reveals the full on grind behind chart success and how it is not just handed to you on a platter... We join the chat on an awesome tangent about fame and what it is and the whys and whos therein, and from there on the journey is fascinating, deep and honest - Jordan's story through Brighton's hip hop underground, his background in music, he and Pip's shared acting careers and their slightly differing...

Welcome, welcome, and as standard here is your third welcome, to the humbly magnificent Distraction Pieces Podcast! Episode 104 would you believe... Goddamn... Prepare yourselves for another heavy hitting good'un as Pip is joined by none other than UK comedy titan and overlord James Acaster!Are 'titan' and 'overlord' too strong to throw around like that? Nah. The man with the strong 'A' at the start of his surname (and partial sharer of the name of the platform you might be listening upon right now) is in the DPP studios to bring forth pure goodness on your ears, sharing his take on all things comedy (UK and otherwise), his modest entry into the comedy scene and how he went from awesomely named band to awesomely named band until he broke good into comedy, his Edinburgh Fringe experiences (from bad to very very good), and way deeper into his ongoing comedy hours and the themes, dreams and schemes therein. Too much science and wisdom to be synopsised in this description - just dive on in and live it won't...

Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome (threw you a bonus one there, that's for you) to Distraction Pieces Podcast episode 103! Another slammer this week, featuring actor and comedian Tom Rosenthal!Following a good long intro from Pip about the forthcoming Distraction Pieces book and his book tour dates (go here for more: http://www.scroobiuspip.co.uk/blog/), we have a lovely and lively chat with Pip and the talked-out but snacked-up Tom, who breaks down the elements of where he's at now and where he's headed, including - of course - the UK comedy smash 'Friday Night Dinner', his comic career and approach/outlook (and whether 'Jewish-' is a relevant prefix for 'comedian'), his time spent owning student comedy competitions and tournaments and what they're all about, and of course his unfiltered love for football - which may or may not have stemmed from his commentator father Jim Rosenthal... That could play into it... Uplifting stuff, go ahead and enjoy!

A-welcome 1, a-welcome 2 and a-welcome 3 - to part 2 of episode 102 of Distraction Pieces featuring Radio 1 and Talksport's very own Colin Murray!More and more radio goodness for your ears, getting deeper into the hows and the whys, not to mention the whos of Colin's radio universe, and some choice nuggets on his non-radio work too including his Metro writings and sports documenting (yes indeed, that good good sports nerd science!) - you will surely be a Colin Murray fan after all of this if you are not already, that is almost certain. Fascinating and friendly Distraction Pieces good times... Enjoy!

A slightly maudlin and melancholy WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME to you all as we enter the fourth and final quarter of this epic DrunkCast session... It's been a powerful and revealing few hours with the gentlemen and I'm sure we've all come out of this stronger, fuller and more complete than before we began. This is episode 101 - part 4 - of the Distraction Pieces Podcast!Your pals Chris Glasson (Redshift Rebels, WeAreLizards), Stu Whiffen (Pink Toothbrush, Redshift Rebels, WeAreLizards) and your host Scroobius Pip (tons of stuff) are back for the last hour or so of good, solid chatter fuelled by all manner of exotic booze, stumbling on all kinds of subjects including the awesome immersive cinematic experience that is Secret CInema, some deep boxing and MMA business, the gawd Brian Gittins and his universe, topped off with some very awesome roundup talk which is a fine and actually very mature way to end such a drunken few hours in the Whiff Inn. Wonderful stuff. Free flowing and very entertaining.I think I...

But we are halfway through the carnage and you still have two more quarters to go... Look alive!A wonderful barrage of increasingly drunken goodness (actually still pretty sharp and focused, believe it or not - well, up to a point), in which we hear about the legendary Tom Coles and the complicated history around the homie, The Pink Toothbrush club, the attractive sounding prospect of a ferry from Tilbury to Gravesend and the multitude of hairdressers you will be greeted by at your destination, pizza and death, and a very long interlude of sung theme tunes which you might wanna join in on... You should really. It's only polite.LET'S GO CHAMP!!!!!
