WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME once again three more times to your weekly dose of Distraction Pieces Podcast in mp3 format from up in the sky somewhere directly to your earpieces! This week your host Scroobius Pip is joined by none other than his old pal and script/screenwriter Kelly Marcel! A crazy story right here which Kelly unfolds for you, not before she relays how she rescued a fearless but accident prone squirrel and nursed it back to bitey and aggro health... From her days back in the book corner at school (a punishment area, not for recreation) up to her days in the video store hanging with a then fairly green Tom Hardy, and her reasons for ending up there which involved a not so supportive school system, hear how she became a full on fully qualified silver screen smash through various acting jobs (of COURSE The Bill is involved!), up to her crossing paths with the director of all directors himself Stephen Spielberg. The story gets no less intense or full on from there on, as she barrels through such... &#

Welcome welcome welcome to episode 146 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! Congratulations on making it out of that drunken mess from last week and emerging out the other side unscathed (we certainly hope) - for now, you are about to witness the joy that is Steven Camden aka Polarbear! The long awaited, often requested spoken word artist / author / many other crafts beside, joins Pip this week for a grand old get together and full on chat covering just about everything... Being pals for many a year from the early days, rocking tours together and just being genuine mates who talk and do stuff together, they have a lot to ramble about and many bases are covered - the craft itself, the makers and doers, how they got where they are, what they're up to now, life, love, the universe, the whole thing. So much to enjoy and listen back to, you'll love this one - and you get a nice bonus treat of Polar's track 'Jessica' in there too for good measure, how does that grab ya? Decent. All yours - have...

Welcome welcome welcome and CONGRATULATIONS - you made it to Level Three of the seventh DrunkCast. As such, you are rewarded with another bunch of boozed up business from our bubbly brethren as they tackle a LOT of MMA/UFC and fight talk - a lot - which is bookended with some more podcast talk and a lil' section on relationship chatter sparked by some recent comments from Scarlett Johannson. There is also a rather noisy crescendo to this episode, so just be prepared for your ears and even those around you - it gets messy. You know the routine. Come on, this is the final part of the podcast where Pip gets drunk with two of his mates. What else did you expect? Good work folks, you did grand! Congratulations on grabbing these three DrunkCasts. Enjoy! •••••••••• CHRIS GLASSON - https://twitter.com/redshiftrebels •••••••••• STU WHIFFEN - https://twitter.com/stuwhiffen •••••••••• SCROOBIUS PIP - https://twitter.com/Scroobiuspipyo •••••••••• SPEECH DEVELOPMENT RECORDS -...  See acast.com/privacy for pr

Welcome welcome welcome to your second DrunkCast of this week's three parter! More relentless inebriated banter for your listening enjoyment, as Pip is joined again by Chris and Stu in the Whiff Inn, the ONLY private pub in Essex worth checking for... A film heavy episode right here, with a ton of top film picks, chatter and gossip, some TV talk, and all that good stuff. Lots of recommendations here - some you will DEFINITELY know but some you may not - not everyone has heard of La La Land now have they... No that doesn't seem true at all... Whatever the case - lots of fun, go ahead and enjoy! •••••••••• CHRIS GLASSON - https://twitter.com/redshiftrebels •••••••••• STU WHIFFEN - https://twitter.com/stuwhiffen •••••••••• SCROOBIUS PIP - https://twitter.com/Scroobiuspipyo •••••••••• SPEECH DEVELOPMENT RECORDS - https://scroobiuspip.backstreetmerch.com •••••••••• HARDCORE LISTING PODCAST - https://www.acast.com/hardcorelisting •••••••••• FOLLOW AND ENJOY!  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-

WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME - NO TIME TO EXPLAIN! It's the SEVENTH edition of the Distraction Pieces DrunkCast! You know what it is... Scroobius Pip is joined by Drunkateers Stu Whiffen and Chris Glasson at the Whiff Inn for another few rounds of gossip, goodness, glasses of all kinds of booze and the usual loudmouf banter you have come to enjoy and demand! Since the last time we joined the crew, Chris and Stu have become professional seasoned podcasters haven't they! You may have heard their 'Hardcore Listing' podcast by now, but here are some behind the scenes nuggets from the two and their inspirations, guests to come and what it all involves. Also a nice breakdown of the last WeAreLizards clubnight and a bunch of TV and film chatter. Collect your cakes, roundup your cups and take tomorrow off - it's part 1 of the DrunkCast! •••••••••• CHRIS GLASSON - https://twitter.com/redshiftrebels •••••••••• STU WHIFFEN - https://twitter.com/stuwhiffen •••••••••• SCROOBIUS PIP - https://twitter.com/Scroobiuspipyo... &

WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME (three in a row, no commas) to another slammer of an episode of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! A proper jolly episode it is too, as Pip is joined by James Buckley, or as you may know him, Jay from The Inbetweeners! Or indeed any other given name of one of his many roles on television... Pip was introduced to James via his DrunkCast (and real life) mate Stu Whiffen, and here we are in the room with the two, kicking it like old mates - a nice and broad-ranging conversation, hitting on The Inbetweeners as you would expect and demand, playing young Del Boy in Rock & Chips, his own computer gaming Youtube channel 'Completed It Mate' and how he started and developed it all, his life out in Los Angeles and the myriad weirdness within, and being an actor in general. His take on being an Englishman out there and auditioning is well worth peeping, and hints and how UK folk have a knack for cutting through that actor-type-stuff with genuine awkward UK charm. Race relation

Wokoma, Wokoma, Wokoma to another powerful episode of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! And now you know the guest this week but nevertheless, she deserves two mentions at the very least because she smashed it - it's Susan Wokoma! Welcome welcome welcome to EPISODE 143! A fantastic banter with Pip and Susan, going in deep on all aspects of her personal history, all the way back to her school days in a multicultural environment and the many positive influences that can have, to being encouraged to apply to the National Youth Theatre by a teacher, and her inspiring journey through to where she currently finds herself atop the summit of UK acting talent! A super entertaining journey, and a lovely chat bringing in tales of her parents, her neighbours (good, bad and conflicted), her teachers, mates, acting roles and general outlook on the whole path, as well as - of course - her killing it in 'Chewing Gum' and 'Crazyhead'. She'll make you smile for certain, and as her new pal you should keep... &

...aaaaand we're BACK, and again you are welcomed three times (you'll always be welcomed three times no matter how many episodes) to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This is the second part of the fighter double bill this week, with the cool calm Canadian, Rory MacDonald! A huge Distraction Pieces guest, especially for the MMA heads out there (oh there must several of you by now...), and Pip sits down with the young legend to comb through the insanely eventful career of his, going through the UFC days, his past fights, his future, his broken nose(s) and a heavy amount besides... Expect to see him headline Bellator this May too! Power moves. A perfect follow up to the awesome Dan Hardy episode on Wednesday. Get involved and enjoy the mellow tones of the Canadian Ironmonger himself (I just gave him that name at random but it's pretty decent eh?), Rory MacDonald! ••••• RORY ON TWITTER! https://twitter.com/rory_macdonald ••••• RORY ON INSTAGRAM!...  See acast.com/privacy for privacy

WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME to your Wednesday podcast treat, your hump-day surprise, your podcast nugget of gold for your ears - it's the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! And here's your chance to get re-acquainted with Dan "The Outlaw" Hardy - the MMA legend and showman who you may have caught in the previous Distraction Pieces two-parter all the way back in episode 34... Let's get into it! Another full on round with Hardy and Pip going one on one in the pod-tagon (alright that's it, no MMA wordplay from here on out), and a really great wide-ranging conversation from straight up MMA/UFC banter, and deep good old fashioned geek-out goodness for your fighting enjoyment (you know how these guys get down), and branching out into Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Lego, being a quiet kid, ayahuasca, psilocybin, the reptile brain, origin stories of his fighting career and spending time in rough gyms, training, his home-based rig, ah all sorts in here! Do not forget to pre-order Dan's book 'Part Reptile'...

Welcome, welcome, and BOOM another welcome right there to this, episode 140 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! Please welcome (three times) to the stage, Lancaster's indie Queen, frontwoman of The Lovely Eggs, Holly Ross! A glorious chat with a hardcore touring indie band veteran, and thoroughly enlightening at that - a proper peek behind the curtain (or the sliding door of a tourvan) at what goes on in the day to day, which is a ton of hard work in itself but add to THAT a small child and you have yourself a full plate with all the trimmings... But Holly shows it can be done, and this is a great, inspiring back and forth revealing some fantastic life-hacks for bands and parents in bands who are on the road, as well as a comprehensive rundown of Holly's history in the indie scene. Not only that, hear how awesome their fanbase is too! Get involved - get listening, Holly's ace and you should peep the music of The Lovely Eggs (and if you want to dig deeper, her old band Angelica too)....

WELCOME, welcome, WELCOME (shouted the first and third ones there to keep you on yer toes) to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! Episode 138 awaits your immediate attention and is ready for your listening ears directly, and it is a great pleasure to welcome the London resident Canadian comedian Katherine Ryan to the microphone! What a treat this week, as Pip is joined by the Netflix-fresh comic heavyweight who has been putting in work for a good, good while, as well as her micro-dogs (which you will have the pleasure of hearing snore in the podcast, you're welcome). A proper nice chat as we get the full ins and outs of Katherine's journey along the comic landscape, from the Canadian badlands to the UK panel show circuit and FAR far beyond... From her days wishing she was Jessica Simpson, to opening for Amy Schumer, to headlining her own Netflix special 'In Trouble', which is destroying the internet currently... Delight in that Anglo-Canadian accent, rejoice in her story, and celebrate the...

Welcome, welcome, welcome (or indeed, goedemorgen, goedemiddag, goedenavond) to Pip's second half of the Dutch mini-podcast tour! It may have been a mini round-the-houses whirlwind but he fit in a lot, and in episode 137 he is joined by none other than Ancilla van de Leest of the Pirate Party! Now Pip may be bending one of the self imposed rules he set a while ago by having a politician on the show, but there is a fascinating scene to be set and tale to be told in Ancilla's journey to where she currently finds herself. It's been a while in the works but they finally got to sit and talk, and here's your chance to sit in on an educational and hopefully inspiring discussion regarding the Pirate Party itself (in he Netherlands and worldwide), how it works, started, and functions (Pirate Bay is heavy in there), her own history and all that entails, how she got into politics (Pip is involved!!), net privacy and the huge problems which arise from that, digital rights, and all manner of deep political goodness... &

WELCOME, WELCOME, WELCOME to episode 136 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! A seasonally appropriate episode at that, as Pip is joined by the Ice Man himself, the legendary Dutch daredevil Mr Wim Hof! Don't get all wrapped and warm for this one - it's going to get incredibly frosty up in here... Chances are you may not already have made Wim's acquaintance - that's fine, for after this podcast you will most likely be digging around online and listening to his glorious cadence for hours to follow... If you have already broken the ice (skate over that pun) (and that one) with the man, you will surely be up to speed on The Wim Hof Technique, his apparently superhuman abilities to withstand cold, his infectiously positive and inspiring tones and talking points and his many accomplishments in the field of human endurance. Either way, this is a brilliant conversation (recorded from Wim's home in the outskirts of Amsterdam) where you will learn about his said method, how he came upon such...

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! Shoutouts to Team 3W as always! Nothing less than three welcomes would suffice for this week's DPP greatness, as we proudly present to you the Distraction Pieces two-part Homelessness Special, featuring two wonderful podcasts for your listening pleasure. For the first instalment, please welcome (three times, you know the deal) Manchester's 'Mustard Tree', an organisation giving opportunity and dignity to the homeless through a huge variety of means. It's a very cold and none-too-friendly time of year temperature-wise, and now is a perfect time to address the issue that faces all too many people in the UK (and naturally, worldwide). Pip sits down with Soraya (communications manager up at Mustard Tree) and Anthony (a shining star of the Mustard Tree organisation and process) to gain insight into the who, the why, the where and how of the organisation. It's hugely inspiring and a breath of fresh air to hear homelessness discussed...
