Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode 272 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! A double guest lineup for your poetry, rapping and battling requirements as Pip is joined by MARK GRIST and ROSS SUTHERLAND!

Chances are you already know these fellas already, be it through the battle scene, the poetry scene or maybe even as a video someone shared with you depicting a suited teacher battling a student (that’ll be Mark!), or indeed the time when Pip battled him - well, whatever the weather, you are about to become infinitely further acquainted with the two as Pip sits down with them to get all the background goods and how they started, progressed and evolved in their chosen lanes. The ground covered is vast, including Mark’s infamous Blizzard battle and how people misrepresented his opponent, the camaraderie of battlers and the vibrancy of the scene itself, the Don’t Flop platform, how a film of Mark’s battle times was almost made but - by the sounds of it - thankfully averted, the beauty of working within boundaries and applying restrictions, gamifying work, wrestling, deep gaming, their forthcoming projects and their podcasts! SO much going on here - you’ll love it. One for rap heads, battlecats and those curious about the scene… Hugely entertaining!
