Distraction Pieces Podcast With Scroobius Pip

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the first South Aisan stuntwoman in Europe, AYESHA HUSSAIN!It doesn't hurt to start with a legit history making credential, but let's not limit Ayesha's work to simply that... This chat is one that locks in so much of what has been bubbling in previous more movie-centric episodes with a hugely refreshing positive outlook on the future of the big and small screen. Ayesha's story is all here for you to engage with, and hopefully will throw up some truly inspirational portals for those looking to join in the world of stuntwork and acting. You'll hear a super wide range of goodness in here including the lessons she learned from her mother and the forever legacy which lives on in her absence, where rage and joy meet, rebellion, the Babes With Blades collective, navigating immigrant mentality and working in concert with that, her own work attitude, journeying through burlesque and cowboy culture, and - as state

Today, we catch up with Roots Manuva, originally episode 63 from 2015-10-14.Perhaps the greeting on this one should be "Well(come) Well(come) Well(come)"... Your chance to re-Witness the debut appearance of Roots Manuva on the podcast, whose appearance is hugely welcome and very nice to hear again after all these years. Whether you caught onto him in recent years through his work with folk like Four Tet, or you're a head since Witness bust the UK hip hop wide open, or perhaps like me (Buddy here ✌

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by Scotland's comic champ CHRISTOPHER MACARTHUR-BOYD!You will surely know Christopher from the Here Comes The Guillotine podcast with comedy pals Frankie Boyle and Susie McCabe (and if not, you won't go wrong by jumping in), but if CMB isn't someone you're directly familiar with, I guess the question would be... When have Scroobius Pip and the Distraction Pieces Podcast steered you wrong? Thank you. This is a really great and uplifting chat with someone who's been working his way up through the comedy game, via all kinds of paths, while receiving and heeding advice from folks he truly respects. Such humility has only done him well in the quest, and you'll hear about it all including the Fringe route, process, podcasting, the origin story, the draw of London, and altogether so much more. You'll love it. Enjoy!PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureHERE COMES THE GUILLOTINEALL LINKSINSTAGRAMOH NO (

Today, we catch up with Howard Marks, originally episode 33 from 2015-04-29.An amazing episode which was recorded approximately a year before Howard died, which details so much of his life, legacy, his legal scrapes and all sorts along the way. Definitely one to catch up on if you haven't heard it before - Howard was a legend of a human and wherever you stand on the drug smuggling spectrum, the chances are you'll get a lot of goodness and light from this episode.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!An episode celebrating the past year of television, from streamers to terrestrials - it's TV Of The Year 2024 with Joe & Joel!(Producer Buddy here - I've once again recklessly recycled a previous writeup for this one because my original is still entirely apt - dates have changed for obvious reasons but otherwise - enjoy the timewarp!)Another delightful end of year TV roundup from three people who truly know and care about their televisual diet. These are names you can trust, folks. You might know John and Joel from their own film podcast called Dream Factory (the world's greatest user-generated movie creation podcast), which Pip is a true fan of and contributor to, but if not, here is your chance to get to know them and become fast friends! This podcast goes appropriately deep into the television shows of the year in a hugely positive way, but of course you'll hear about some of the trials and tribulations of being such big dev

emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with filmmaker Coralie Fargeat (The Substance / Revenge) and actor Matilda Lutz (Revenge / Magpie), originally episode 205 from 2018-05-11.Below is the original writeup for context:–––––––––––––––––––––––––A great Friday spot for you this week, as Pip sits down with director Coralie Fargeat and actor Matilda Lutz, creator and star of the indie horror film ‘Revenge’. All kinds of aspects are covered including of course the main elements of the film itself, the process of working with a smaller budget and the knock-on effects that has (and the imagination it inspires), crossings of languages and how it can help with an international release, dealing with foreign distributors, the audition process, darker entertainment from directors such as David Cronenberg, the film set out in Morocco and working in the cold, working with that amount of blood in such a small space (I’m sur

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip continues the Distraction Pieces tradition of appraising the cinematic output of the year just passed - it's Films Of The Year 2024!A thorough and - crucially - personal rundown of all that happened last year in the world of feature films, major and independent, big screen and small screen. The whole thing was recorded outside in the dead of Winter, so by all means don't feel like you need to mimic those surroundings. This is probably more suitable for a warm and dry environment at your leisure, but wherever you choose it's a nice way to look back in fondness on a really great year in films.It's obvious but it must be re-emphasised each year - this is not YOUR list of favourite films. It is Pip's. if Pip makes a choice, this does not remove your own choice. It does not mean you are wrong in your own choices. You know this already but you'd be surprised at how some folks might misinterpret these things. It's all love i

emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Limmy, originally episode 113 (a two parter) from 2016-08-31.Below is the original writeup for context:–––––––––––––––––––––––––Congratulations on your download. You have made the correct choice. Especially being that this week the guest is comedy giant Brian "Limmy" Limond! A perfect back and forth with Glasgow's comic mastermind Limmy (and on occasion, mainly forth as Pip joins us, the listener, and lets Limmy hold court!), combing through the action packed origin story and leading us right up to around the present day, exposing the thrilling fun times as well as revealing the deep dark lows in a thoroughly down to earth fashion, including drink, fatherhood and all that entails. Such a powerful and relatable talk, and definitely one for the Limmy heads as well as those who are perhaps unfamiliar with the man behind 'Limmy's Show' and 'Daft Wee Stories' among so muc

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the returning show friend, the wonderful poet and standup ROB AUTON!It's always a pleasure in Rob's company, and this episode is of course no exception. We start things off very quickly by jumping off the pleasantries diving board directly into the deep waters of life, comedy, craft and eveything else involved. And as always with Rob, you can expect unique takes and perspectives which are inspiring, intriguing and never fail to lead to somewhere you didn't think you'd get to. Much ground is covered including the connection of hydration to bloodwork, the many living quarters in Rob's past, libraries, festivals and incorporating live music into his setup, his history with the Fringe (and Pip's), show making and creating an audience, being positive in your self talk and attempting excitement. Wisdom and good chat are your rewards!PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureTHE TIME SHOW (Rob's special

Below are the original writeups for context - enjoy this double feature look back in to the past with Michaela!–––––––––––––––––––––––––Part 1:From her early days knocking around Tower Hamlets in a pentecostal upbringing, and how a psalm triggered her interests in poetry, Michaela gets deep into what added up to her present day self, as a multi-talented and well respected TV heavy hitter - from her take on reading and books in general, to spirituality and where she's at with it all now, drama school, reality TV, Uber and its complex personal social code of conduct, how she was discovered on stage, right through to where we find her now as star of 'Aliens', 'Chewing Gum' (and writer of, of course) and 'Black Mirror'...

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the multi-talented actor, writer and filmmaker JESSE EISEINBERG!Jesse's latest film 'A Real Pain' drops in the UK on January 8th, so this is a timely catch up and check in on what's been happening and what's on the horizon, as well as all the awesome mechanics involved (definitely notepad-worthy if you're of a similar discipline and mindset!).He and Pip cover so much ground in this one, including being a self proclaimed hermit but attempted traveller, the benefits of regular writing, finding ideas everywhere especially when the algorithm unwittingly delivers them, working with day to day problems against larger traumatic backdrops, fatherhood and working with children, roles of the past, the importance and significance of all the crew members involved with each film, and working with Kieran Culkin on his latest.

So enjoy this flashback to the 2018 era Barry! Note - this writeup was for the original episode where Barry shared it with Bart Layton - just a quick FYI.–––––––––––––––––––––––––An amazing chance to catch up with the pair as Pip rocks it tag-team style, starting the podcast with director Bart Layton and concluding halfway through with actor Barry Keoghan. Needless to say, with two sides of the story covered you get a comprehensive and detailed look at a unique pocket of the movie industry, a fascinating side of the indie film world and certainly longer than a regular press junket. You’ll get to hear about the reali

PART 7!We find the gang in their element, high off of adventure and fire and smoke (all will be revealed), and ready for the regularly scheduled mayhem and delirium! It's the time when these three good friends in life and podcasting get together in a safe environment with a wealth of booze (responsibly consumed - this isn't a race to the bottom), and as is always pointed out in these writeups, you can expect a loosening of filters and lowering of those occasional conversation drawbridges. By that, I mean that these three good people will here and there say things that you might not usually encounter in the usual Distraction Pieces space, so tread carefully. Essentially, if you're dipping your toe in with these episodes, your toe might well get chomped, so a suggestion would be to approach with one of the

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the hilarious writer, podcaster and original Twitter treasure RUTH HUSKO!A really great episode featuring someone who has been doing some fabulous work for such a long time, but may not necessarily be known to all y'all yet. Hopefully the opposite is true - but if not, trust us, this is a brilliant one with so much DPP goodness. Ruth's been winning first place on Twitter (X if you must but, of course, present ownership noted) for a long time, and of course that gets decent coverage right here, but also hear about such things as Norm Macdonald, Stewart Lee, Chris Morris, Richard Herring, working a regular job (one of which being HMV like Yung Pip here), Limmy, social media and where it lacks (but also succeeds), exes and all that, corporations and patter theft (you'll understand what that is quickly if you're unfamiliar!). Excellent stuff and true Distraction Pieces gold for you all. Enjoy!PIP'S PATREON PA
