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

This week Pip is joined by two extra special guests - the awesome actor/director ALICE LOWE and fabulous actor NICK FROST!

A bit of a formal way of introducing these two wonderful people but they really are two absolute treasures of cinematic and televisual goodness. Alice has been delivering incredible work after incredible work on the big and small screen for years now, and her new film 'Timestalker' is out and about and ready for your attention - you will know Alice from all sorts, including Garth Merenghi's Dark Place, Prevenge and Sightseers among others. She's joined by pal and co-star of Timestalker Nick Frost in this chat, who you also know from years of excellent output including Spaced, Shaun of The Dead and Hot Fuzz to name a few. This is a bubbly, friendly conversation which goes into all sorts, a ton about process and how the whole thing works on and off screen, and all sorts of valuable nuggets of all types. Such a fun one, you'll love it. Peep all links below for much more but for now, enjoy this 5 star episode.

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

This week Pip is joined by the excellent actor, style icon and show friend HARRY LAWTEY!

We can safely say that the 'show friend' addition is a two way street too, as Harry was listening back in his drama school days! So it's a real treat that Pip gets to chat to Harry, and probably a weird moment for Harry too being a long-term listener...! It's a superb converstion, as they get into so much about acting and process, all things in front of and behind the curtain, but also there's so much to be gained from hearing Harry's perspective on things here. Seriously, if you take notes from all the acting homies that have been on the show you'll be in a massively good place to take up the craft yourself... Or at least soak up some free game! You can find Harry on the HBO series 'Industry', in the new Joker movie (which of course gets covered gloriously in part 2 of this chat!), and so many more - peep the IMDB for the runthrough. And otherwise - enjoy this brilliant chat with the Distraction Pieces pal Harry!

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

This week Pip is joined by long term Pip and show friend, the amazing poet and author HOLLIE McNISH!

It's not Hollie's first go-round here on Distraction Pieces, but the sightings are definitely many years apart so this is a welcome return. Hollie's an incredible writer and performer and insanely worth checking out if you're not yet accustomed. Check the links below (as this is a chat episode and not a performance of course!), but aside from that, just enjoy the goodies on offer here in a really cool episode that covers so many topics and moods... The art of touring and engaging in 'mum talk', food destination disappointment, booking tours like an actual living and breathing human, the wonder of how people and the animal world operate and work with one another, social media and the ups and downs (along with some very valid arguments for, which are not always heard), and sharing poems through visual media and not always through books. Fascinating and interesting and all things in between, enjoy!

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

This week Pip is joined by the comedian's comedian and Comedian's Comedian maker STUART GOLDSMITH!

One of the hardest working comedian podcasters in the country joins Pip to lock forces and really go in on all things across the spectrum of comedy and way beyond... You'll likely know Stuart from his podcast 'ComComPod' as it's colloquially known, or to use its Government name, The Comedian's Comedian Podcast, where he talks to comedians and using his innate people skills, sparks some very open and vulnerable conversations. It's no surprise that his current special handles a similar thing but with climate emergency at its core - and how do you find the funny in that? We'll find out together. Elsewhere you'll hear loads more of course, including the legendary Big Jeff, ikigai, authenticity, showing up, accepting a podcast's purpose, preaching to the converted, and a little bit of our good pal Brett. All in all though you're in for a genuine treat. So enjoy!

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

This week Pip is joined, once more, by the brilliant and very funny comic, podcaster and host JAMALI MADDIX!

* AUDIO ODDITY IN PIP'S CHANNEL FROM AROUND 4m - 6m30s! It comes and goes but won't trouble you too much...

A glorious return mission for the homie Jamali, as he and Pip link up for another awesome go-round. Jamali is always fantastic whatever you see or him on, and here is a really cool catch up with a bunch of what has happened lately as well as what is to come. The focus for the most part though is the new series he's been making called 'Follow The Leader' - you'll surely have caught his previous series 'Hate Thy Neighbour', and this is not like a follow on from that or anything but if you know Jamali's steez by now you'll definitely get along famously with this. Your topics to enjoy this episode include a crazy Rotterdam adventure gone wrong, shady promoters (see Tribe Called Quest's rule 4080), the new series and the mental conflicts to go through with the content, meeting the main people of each episode in real life, the Louis Theroux machine, and how his heart is comedy. Oh it's a goody this one.

Jamali Maddix: Follow The Leader airs on U&Dave at 10pm each Tuesday from 17th September, with the box-set available to stream free on U from Tuesday 17th September.

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

This week Pip is joined, once more, by the always fabulous and funny comic, podcaster, author, host and producer, FRANKIE BOYLE!

Frankie's name has carried through the decades of comedy, and even a moment of listening to him in conversation reveals a really cool, calm and observant side of him. He's always been a great time on the podcast with a ton of really interesting viewpoints and perspectives, and it's a really nice time to hear him in a different mode that's not necessarily standup or host mode. As we hear, this can be a response to the context of the recording, but Frankie is adept at all sides - standup, hosting, podcasting, and as we hear here - authoring books! So you'll enjoy this ace chat which goes into the whole lot - the book, the temporary mind-fence of recording, hotel time, Palestine views, the media in general, Frank Quitely, and so much more. A lovely one. ENJOY!

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

This week Pip is joined by the very funny comic ROSCO McCLELLAND!

A delicious ep featuring the Fringe star, who joins Pip for a really great chat on all things comedy, but by no means limited to... Tangents are the order of the day, and good god do we have 'em for ya. Covering a bunch of goodness from Dr Theatre, to stage persona, to plumbing, to the Fringe and the bucket speech, to his previous years in bands and how that served his stage time, getting the kickstart into comedy, Twitch and a TON in between, you're gonna have so much to enjoy in this one. Go in, enjoy yourself.

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

This week Pip is joined by the incredibly funny comic PHIL WANG!

...a comic who, at time of podcast release, has a Netflix special VERY near on the horizon (if the horizon can be considered a near and far thing). This is a really fun chat bringing all the goodness you would wish for from someone who's been dominating stages for a good minute now, and a comic who's work you can enjoy on a bunch of different platforms. He's not on the Fringe circuit at this moment (and you can hear the freedom in his voice!), but the work is about to begin with the Netflix special promo... Anyway - all that aside - enjoy this naturally freeflowing conversation covering multiculturalism, the past riots, earnestness, repetition, Malaysian cuisine, gaming, (w)angst and all things process. Awesome stuff, enjoy!

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

This week Pip is joined by the acting treasure who is currently starring in 'Death Of England: Michael' - it's THOMAS COOMBES!

On that subject, you'll hear a lot about Death Of England in this ep as Thomas breaks down the prep and schedule of the whole thing (three individual plays, one of which he is the solo star) which sounds utterly gruelling... Aside from that, the whole project is a magnificent work and for sure deserves viewing and attendance. Otherwise, Thomas goes in on a ton of his other roles, including The Acolyte, Boiling Point and Baby Reindeer, as well as celebrating the goodness of Stephen Grahame when the chance arises. A great chat and definitely something for all, especially those of actorial interest.
