Distraction Pieces Podcast With Scroobius Pip

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!It’s been a minute getting this one ready, as he and Pip go way back but the time has finally come - people, please welcome the airwave ray of sunshine NIHAL ARTHANAYAKE!Less ‘overdue’ and more ‘inevitable’, this one, as the two have some ace history together and have been in similar orbits for a good while. It’s a great time to catch Nihal, as thoughts have taken shape over the past year of pandemical times and while it’s not far removed enough to have that crystal clear clarity, it’s been enough time to get a picture of things and read the room a bit. So there’s that up top, but keep it locked for the behind the scenes music science - especially if you’re a hip hop head (mmm maybe of a certain vintage!), as this will make you smile a lot. Nihal used to rap and has been in the game for years (to quote Biggie, it made him an animal), and you’ll hear some ill stories and dope recollections but all backed up. As Nihal say, “Don’t get

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!Keep it locked, world - you're about to enter the mind of the one ASIM CHAUDHRY!...also known as Chabuddy G from People Just Do Nothing (or 'Girthy Geeza' on Twitch) - yes people, this is a wonderful meeting between Pip and Asim, as they catch up initially about all things Twitch with Asimbeing very much in the pocket of Big Streaming. Just messing - he runs a very awesome channel on there which you are strongly encouraged to partake in! From there, the breacrumb trail is perfectly laid as the two go in on all things streaming, work, acting, beat battles, truth in characters, accents and awkwardness (and outright racism), the history and heritage sewn into accents, enduring a bout with that 'rona, Bandersnatch and just all things worth speaking on. It's a great chance to get to know Asim in the solo sense, so please enjoy episode 367 with the man himself!ASIM on TWITTERASIM on IMDBCHABUDDY GCHABUDDY on INSTAGRAMASIM on TWITCHSCROOB

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!It's the second coming of the ramblechat master, the long awaited return of ADAM BUXTON everybody!Were we ever so young... Episode 66 was the last time Pip and Adam met up, back in those faded Kodachrome / Polaroid days of wayback where everything smelled like freshly cut grass, and there was a slight chill in the air but you could feel that Summer was around the corner, we were all having picnics, I think some of us went skinnydipping in the sea at one point, we had cake... Anyway, it was a while ago, is what I'm getting at. Well, please re-welcome podmaster Adam Buxton who has been grinding out there to ridiculous degrees, be it with podcasting or authoring, and it's a real pleasure to hear Pip and Buckles catch up on everything that's been happening in the meantime. And it's been a lot. It's also quite significant that it's happening on Zoom, as they would both be resolute about not recording remotely in the early days of podcas

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!Another very long awaited, most anticapted episode this week as Pip chats with old pal and esteemed multi-disciplined podcaster / poet / author MUSA OKWONGA!But it doesn’t even end there, as you’ll hear - and why should it? Musa has played the long game, the marathon approach, with his career and we find him at a place of peace and spiritual restfulness. A fortune place to be in right now, but rest assured as his good vibes will resonate with you and find their way into your own pulse and rhythm. Long term listeners and fans will certainly know Musa as a kind of ‘godfather’ of this podcast (he comes up on here a lot!), and it’s a treat to hear about his zig zags, being good but not the best at everything, the early formative poetry years, being Pip’s end of level boss in those days of wayback, gruelling rehearsals, his father and the story of his incredible life, Eton schooling, Ed Sheeran, being ambitious in investment of time and

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!Well overdue conversation times for you this week as Pip catches up with the brilliant actor STEVEN CREE!With a mutual friend in Films To Be Buried With homie Brett Goldstein (and many more mutual pals besides), you know you’ll be in great company if you’re unfamiliar with Steven. From the beginning on, it’s all Grade A material ranging from necessary pandemic catchups (this was recorded around Xmas 2020 by the way), divisions of society and culture and far more, Scottish independence, leaders, the reaction to the pandemic revealing the potential reaction to climate change, said Mr Goldstein, accents, his iPhone series, Mick Foley, Outlander, positives of social media and avoiding genre tropes in favor of realism. It’s got it all. Now say “edited it together” 10 times fast.STEVEN on IMDBSTEVEN on TWITTERSTEVEN on INSTAGRAMA DISCOVERY OF WITCHESOUTLANDERFILMS TO BE BURIED WITH episode 6SCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAMSCROOBIUS PIP on PATR

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!Some perfect acting distraction for you this week as Pip is joined by the bright shining acting star STACY MARTIN!You may know Stacy’s work already which will stand you in good stead to enjoy this brilliant, sprawling and all-encompassing chat with Pip and Stacy, but if not you’re in for a treat with the bonus of making a new pal by the end! Stacy’s been holding it down on the stage and screen for a minute - you may have seen her in both Nymphomaniac films, the great Redoubtable, or High Rise to name a little handful, and her latest film Archive is very much out and about now (with a ton more in the work diary). So it’s really nice to hear how things are going with her, relationships with sci-fi, performance hacks, AI themes, and so much more. Great times, enjoy!STACY on IMDBSTACY / BAFTASTACY on INSTAGRAMSTACY in ELLEARCHIVESCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAMSCROOBIUS PIP on PATREONNORTH STAR RISINGPOD BIBLESPEECH DEVELOPMENT RECORDSDISTRA

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!Some perfect acting distraction for you this week as Pip is joined by the fantastic SACHA DHAWAN!A lovely meeting between Pip and Sacha, and with the two not having crossed paths previously this is a really nice chat which branches out into a fully fledged tree of chat. As I carry on, I’m all too aware that I did just type “tree of chat” but I’m committing to it. Beginning with the big topics and meandering gracefully through the labyrinth of emotions and feels, they cover a ton and not exclusive to acting either - from pandemic action to acting through such a time, taking breaks for mental health, anxiety and predicting it, lessons from lockdown, pressure from heritage and coming to terms with one’s own story, confidence, art and cautiousness growing up, playing the truth, his previous roles and those forthcoming, being a role model and all together so much more. A brilliant one for you this week. EAT HOW YOU WANNA EAT*!*This will

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!BONUS! Pip’s media cup was overflowing with 2020 goodness, so he went ahead and made a bonus episode to catch all the gems that 2020’s television had to offer and HERE IT IS!As with the films of the year episode, this is all Pip’s opinion and you may indeed share differing ones, but this might alert you to some good times that you might not have been aware of before. You’ll enjoy this for sure!QUICK NOTE! This is producer Buddy Peace here typing this, and just to let you know I do drop by super quick by invitation from Pip, to make a quick announcement and wish y’all the best for 2021. I don’t take liberties with installing myself on the podcast so I thought I’d just gently warn you of the alternate voice you will hear chiming in.SCROOBIUS PIP on TWITTERSCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAMSCROOBIUS PIP on PATREONNORTH STAR RISINGPOD BIBLESPEECH DEVELOPMENT RECORDSDISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on FACEBOOKDISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on INSTAGRAMDI

We are now in 2021 World, with a whole new 12 months ahead of us until we do the merry go round all over again, but when you think about for even a split second, isn’t it insane how much can happen in those twelve months? Even in a day?! Well, while none of us can slow the hands of time, we can most certainly take a minute to just sit right there, and listen to Pip tell us about his favourite films of the year!By the way, about that last sentence - yes it was a vague Fresh Prince reference and yes it was meant to rhyme. Anyway - have a lovely podcast listen, and see if Pip’s thoughts resonate with your views on these films if you’ve seen them, or maybe arm the cannon with some films to line up for your forthcoming viewing time. Some true gems on there. So enjoy, argue with yourself if you need to, but remember this is a personal opinion list - Pip is not taking yo

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!As tradition would usually dictate, Pip would meet up with Kae and Polar for some form of Xmas drinks in whatever formation was available, but WHAT WITH THINGS AS THEY ARE, zoom provided the medium for it all to happen which now means that we get to hear what happens behind the curtain!A great chance to listen to what’s been happening in this year of years with Pip’s old time pals (and surely favourites of yourselves) Kae Tempest and Polarbear, completing the pyramid of incredible spoken word / writing / acting / music talent that continue to smash it at every angle… It’s a lovely two parter, which digs in it all - lockdown and pandemic and how that’s taken a toll on everyone’s individual lives and performance routines, mental health, locations and moving, bubbles, family, porridge game, being tuned in and collaboration, mental beatdowns in acting classes, cooking and SO much more.

Chances are you are a diehard dyed in the wool Auntyhead, but perhaps you may have only just seen that Netflix square scrolling sideways in your field of vision as recent as today - or maybe this is the first time you’ve heard the word Aunty and the name Donna together full stop. Well prepare to either get to know the gang much better, or make some new best friends, as Pip catches up with three of the crew!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!Cinematic perfection is upon us once more, as Pip finally aligns schedules with the incredible and inspiring actor MYANNA BURING!It’s another great one folks, but I mean when has the Distraction Pieces Podcast ever been less than? That was rhetorical. But seriously… Anyway - here’s a beautiful chance to enjoy a wonderful chat across the internet lines with MyAnna, who you will know from one of the most intense films in movie history The Descent, or equally intense movie Kill List, or maybe from the marginally less intense (depending on your age perhaps) Twilight saga. At any rate, if you are yet to make her acquaintance, prepare to make a new pal right here through a packed chat, containing everything including making the decision to pare down over lockdown, how groundbreaking The Descent was when looking in retrospect, help along the way (this podcast has spiritual guidance from Michael Smiley and Stephen Graham of course), storie

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!An ALMOST in person DPP right here - well, Pip and the guest being in the same city, in a country far far away from their respective homesteads anyway - please enjoy a brilliantly upfront and honest chat with actor RAHUL KOHLI!I say upfront and honest - basically it’s one where sentiments aren’t hinted at, and feelings and thoughts are addressed in a mature and adult manner. He and Pip are currently in Vancouver, Canada, in the midst of filming in some very airtight pandemic conditions. You can hear all about that, which of course branches out into how life is in Canada, viewing the pandemic from a different country, the attitudes in the US, race and the media, privilege, social media tone deafness, becoming a Twitter celeb (not as glamorous as it sounds), what re-Trump-ing says about you, Mike Bithell and the amazing North Star Rising project he and Pip guested on, auditions, gaming voiceovers, acting, and the many intricate nuanc

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!Without a doubt, an episode that’s been a long time in the making - at last, Pip catches up with national trasure, poet, writer and lyricist BENJAMIN ZEPHANIAH!Pure enjoyment from the Birmingham legend as he and Pip catch up and talk about all things poetry but so much more… Beginning at the beginning of time itself, they move through viruses, “unpredictable” times, nature, the meat industry, finance and politics, squashing Twitter beefs, Bob Marley, doing gigs and slowly finding his crew, Life & Rhymes and everything contained within, finding and celebrating music in the words, performance poetry vs page poetry and of course, Peaky Blinders!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!Let the cinematic streak be unbroken, as Pip chats with the second brother combo on the podcast - it’s the directorial duo of THE BLAINE BROTHERS!You may be familiar with the two from previous works such as Nina Forever (which was HIGH on a previous Pip’s films of the year list), and maybe you’ve already become aware of the Sara Pascoe series Out Of Her Mind (featuring Pip himself), but if not - prepare to investigate all of these and more when you spend some time in the company of the Chris and Ben Blaine! It’s a really engaging chat about all things film, as well as pre-lockdown days, playwright vs Da Vinci, letting yourself make mistakes, tearing up the film makers handbook, constraints, the fault of “Kill your darlings”, subconscious typecasting, their production process and making a BBC series - as well as just about everything else in between. Ace stuff, you’ll love it.EPISODE LINKS:BEN BLAINECHRIS BLAINEBLAINE BROTHERS ONLIN
