Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by the comic with the golden voice IAIN STIRLING!
This is actually a perfect medium to engage with this episode as you'll likely know Iain from his very familiar voice - as heard on Love Island, for one... But as with each episode (which Iain has heard and that is a FACT), the chat branches out into every direction including the all important origin story, foundation years, paths to glory and current situation. From being a new parent, to times with Hacker The Dog and the childrens TV times, standup, adult references in kids shows and how they're not actually that cool, to everything now including said Island and Gogglebox, his new special Falling Upwards, Taskmaster and beyond! And Twitch! Ace, get yerself involved and enjoy.

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH from all at the Distraction Pieces Podcast! Every Friday there will be a Rewind episode featuring one of our friends, in case you missed it or simply want to revisit some wonderful chats... Originally broadcast Wednesday, September 9, 2015.
Welcome, welcome, welcome to EPISODE 57 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by musician, comic, actor, writer and so much more, Jordan Gray aka Tall Dark Friend!
This writeup is not from the original episode, but just a quick shout about Jordan. This was their first appearance on Distraction Pieces, the first of many it would turn out, and is one of the episodes you might have heard Pip cite many a time on subsequent episodes. One thing to bear in mind is that this is from almost 10 years ago at this point, and at this point in history we are now at episode 570+. So as you can well imagine, a LOT has been discussed since, much has been learned, many perspectives have been sharpened and multiplied, and we've seen a huge amount happening in the intervening years. Keep this in mind while listening, but also as Jordan has had some incredible leaps and bounds career-wise. A fascinating glimpse back in time, and definitely look back at the then future episodes with show pal Jordan!

Pride Month Rewind 2 • Jordan Gray aka Tall Dark Friend • Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by comic, actor, writer and podcaster SARA BARRON!
If you're a long-term DPP listener this is an episode that will just be a pure snack treat for you, and likely you will be well on your merry way listening right now without even glancing at this write-up (as you will surely know Sara and if not, her circle of pals). BUT - if you are not familiar with Sara, prepare for a very fun, open and generally 'good business' episode with someone who is well versed and sharp in all aspects of the game (be it acting, podcasting, comedy and so on). One of the main threads linking it together is TV shows, but you'll hear goodies involving comedy and Fringe shows (including the ups and downs of all that), and all the other facets of Sara's world. Super nice - you'll get along well! PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting nature

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH from all at the Distraction Pieces Podcast! Every Friday there will be a Rewind episode featuring one of our friends, in case you missed it or simply want to revisit some wonderful chats... Below is the original writeup from the episode, in this case from Wednesday, February 12, 2020.
Welcome, welcome, welcome to EPISODE 311 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by activist, author and actor (all the A’s), Michael Cashman! Sorry - let me correct that - Baron Cashman CBE!
An amazing meeting this week with Pip and Michael, a man whose experience and knowledge will come shining through immediately upon listening. As a founder of Stonewall (with Ian McKellen), ex-member of European Parliament, activist and former actor (those of us who grew up on Eastenders will remember him as Colin), his life has been a genuine document of ups and downs, highs and lows, but all navigated with love, conviction and positivity. His story is moving, uplifting and at times incredibly unfair, but as you will hear - from all of this, pure goodness has been his reward. Over 30 years of his journey has been underpinned by long term partner Paul, who is unfortunately no longer with us but as you’ll hear, is spoken of by Michael with such love and compassion and it’s pretty much impossible to not be stirred by - well, the whole conversation, let’s be frank. The rest is yours to discover - listen, learn, and become better acquainted with a strong force for good in the world. Welcome, Michael!
His book 'One Of Them' is available now on Bloomsbury!

Pride Month Rewind 1 • Michael Cashman • Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by comic, actor and writer MICHELLE DE SWARTE!
An awesome piece of pure Distraction Pieces goodness for you this week with the wonderful Michelle, who drops in for a perfect debut appearance on the podcast! Michelle catches us up on a ton of things past and present, including all of the hard edges along with the gooey centres, such as class and money, unknowingly homeless, modeling, luck vs hustle, production of a show and the team behind it, representing South London and elevating it to go against the cliche, comedy, and loads more. A lot to cram into around an hour but that's a lovely problem to have. You'll love this one - enjoy Michelle! 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 creative / creator and Twitch legend JAMES HOUSTON aka 1030 for a very special episode...
Those more up on the Twitch universe will know 1030 for sure as the hands-on tech creator who is very much a part of the greater community of good people over there. He met Pip via the platform, and over the years has secured a beautiful bond which - to cut to the chase - has resulted in the two of them crafting a blueprint for a film! This film, 'Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty (A Long Short Film)' is now available to support on Kickstarter, with all information in the link and a bunch in the podcast itself. On the podcast, you'll hear more about the finer details of how the financial process will work, along with what the plan is for the film and all of that good stuff. There's so much happening on this one, primarly geared around the film but also about the working history of James / 1030, media, the film world and so much more, as well as a true genuine bonus treat at the end which is unlike nothing else you've ever heard. Certainly within the realms of Distraction Pieces anyway. Support the Kickstarter and get involved if it's within your means, and otherwise shout far and wide about this one! It'll be fabulous.
