Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by comedian and actor KERRY GODLIMAN!
Top class material from Kerry and Pip, as the two catch up like old pals (which in a sense they are) and get things off to a perfectly familiar start. From all things tech updates, to the size of Glastonbury (but WHICH town is it the same size as...?), making complex stuff sound understandable, Treadstone, bridging the worlds of comedy and acting. people in said worlds finding out about the other, representation and limits, working with Ricky Gervais and all that entails, a not in-person surprise appearance from a very special guest (no spoilers), and tons more greatness. Fully enjoyable, get to it!

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.

We Need You! (w/ James Houston aka 1030) • Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #570

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by host, comic, writer and podcaster BEC HILL!
One of those long time coming podcasts that even Pip thought had taken place in our 500+ episode history... It's so very welcome though and a very important piece filled in the puzzle, as Bec is a true delight and wonderful presence right here in the DPP archive. Things kick off with candy eating techniques (never not niche over here), and include Fringe experiences / expectations / realities, her Makeaway Takeaway show on CITV and how that started and concluded, wrestling practice, a multitude of show pitches, and the podcasting life. All great stuff and super fun as you can imagine. ENJOY! PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting nature

Bec Hill • Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #569

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by activist, Twitch pro and all round treasure from Scotland PICKLEBEE aka BETH DOUGLAS!
You may have seen the word Twitch just there and perhaps figured that this would be a podcast all about Twitch. Dear listener this is indeed not the case, and to ignore on that basis is to ignore an extremely fascinating, deep and also FUN chat with the wonderful Picklebee! It's a pretty far and wide ranging one, which goes into Beth's own history and experience of being a trans person in this wild world, activism and politics - Scottish and otherwise, JK Rowling's eerily unquenchable thirst for losing out loud, the mostly safe-space of Twitch and harbouring a community on there, social media and also the origins of the name Picklebee which I'm sure you're curious about... Folks, if you are unfamiliar with Picklebee, this is literally your invitation to make a new friend, hand delivered to your door. Open and enjoy!  PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting nature
