Distraction Pieces Podcast With Scroobius Pip

A triple-stack of welcomes upon your good self to this, the one hundred and seventeenth episode of the perpetually polished and buffed-up Distraction Pieces podcast with your host Mister Scroobius Pip! A powerful and shameless display of podcasting goodness this week with the highly requested, heavily demanded Frankie Boyle! Hold tight as Pip and Frankie (there's an animated crime-solving duo if ever there was one) summit the comedy mountain and check off all kinds of flags along the journey, including hip hop (UK and grime specifically) and how Frankie's made efforts to apply to skill and dedication of the music to his own craft, his comic leanings and influences, his image of being somewhat on the offensive side in UK comedy and how his comedy is often misconstrued, heroes in comedy, the reality of alcoholism, reality television and popular culture and all that these topics entail... A huge amount to tackle and all manoeuvred through with precision and skill. Lovely. Get into it.  See acast.com/p

Welcome, welcome, welcome and good day to you, Team 3W! It is episode 116 of the radio friendly, golden voiced, always fine tuned Distraction Pieces podcast with Scroobius Pip, and this week you are treated the routinely awesome presenter Queen on high, Edith Bowman! Kicking things off with no delay by first delving deep into all things film geek, as Pip and Edith go head to head in their cinematic love and knowledge - and of course that doesn't end there, as the conversation meanders wonderfully through Edith's media journey and upbringing (through her many varied and high level presenting roles), but never drifts too far from film island. You can hear and feel Edith's passion for film and soundtracks permeate through every second of their talk, and it's a fascinating accompaniment to your hopefully already Edith-ful day to day listening. Enriching and inspiring goodness. ••••• EDITH'S WEBSITE : http://www.edithbowman.com (and home of her 'Soundtracking' podcast) ••••• EDITH'S TWITTER :...  See a

WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME back to PART 2 of a hefty double dose of Distraction Pieces / Satin Lizards Lounge greatness... Peep the last episode for a full background of how this came about (and if you're seeing this episode before the first part, certainly go back and grab that one immediately!), but here we have the remaining three guests from what would have been Pip's curated Bestival lineup. Check this lot out... PART 2 GUESTLIST! • HOLLIE McNISH! • JACK ROOKE! • CECILIA KNAPP! A superb conclusion to this one-two punch (the friendly kind, naturally) with poignant and very real first-person parental scientifics from Hollie, the art of grieving and how to change the perspective from Jack, and rounding it up nicely with emotional and brilliantly acute observation from Cecilia. What a way to tie these two episodes together...

WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME to episode ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN of the Distraction Pieces Podcast, hosted by Scroobius Pip! And once more it's another solid slammer of a show, this week featuring Neil Woods of UK LEAP and now published author! The perfect companion podcast to your steady diet of Distraction Pieces Network goodness (alongside Say Why To Drugs and Stop & Search), as Neil brings nothing but wisdom, refreshing outlooks and sobering stories which you will be glad you sat in on... Neil talks about his background in the police force, beginning as an honest, innocent and well-meaning officer, then going on to chart his course into full on undercover work and the incredibly murky, almost entirely lights-out-dark world of the underground drug scene and the dealers who operate within. Scary, threatening and funny stories from a true veteran, and an enlightening look into the world of prohibition alternatives and the work that UK LEAP does behind and in front of the scenes. Get involved, get informed...

W-W-WELCOME to DISTRACTION PIECES PODCAST: EPISODE 113: PART 2 - featuring, as before, Scroobius Pip as always, and again, as before, Limmy! Let's pick up from part 1 shall we...? Another revealing and refreshing nugget of podcast goodness fading in seamlessly from the previous instalment, where we join Limmy's quest from the crushing lows and internal struggles that one may face, as Limmy talks honestly and openly about fatherhood and life in general, and his climbing of the comedy ladder right up to his current touring antics, book release and future plans. Brilliant. Fans or yet-to-be-fans, get involved won't ya... LIMMY SOCIAL MEDIA!

WELCOME welcome welcome high and low, far and wide, to another bumper of a Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! 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 much more... PART TWO UP NEXT!!! LIMMY SOCIAL...  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME one and all to your weekly (and sometimes more) delivery of the Distraction Pieces Podcast hosted as always by Scroobius Pip! And this week it's another comedic banger as he is joined by Marcus Brigstocke! A wonderful chat from start to end as Pip gets impossibly deep into the Marcus Brigstocke archives, combing through his incredibly heavy childhood and teen years, his comedic origins/roots/outlook and influence and all that entails (with a healthy amount of Fringe talk), his jazz interests with some good Miles Davis talk, his political leanings and a fascinating, emotional ride all the way through in which everything ties together perfectly. Superb. * 'The Wire' spoilers at around the 1h16s mark, just so you know.

Welcome welcome welcome (no John Oliver) to your weekly Distraction Pieces podcast with Scroobius Pip! It's been an all the way live run of DPP goodness of late with Pip's UK book tour (hopefully you made it to a show or caught the book), but here he nails down an in-person in-studio guest - Perth's very own comic genius Brendon Burns! Wonderful stuff from start to end, with a lively tale of Brendon's upbringing and comic roots - which includes one of the simultaneously greatest and most horrible first show stories which is perfectly painful - and his influences stemming from black comics back in the 70s, politics and the hard left, how to work a crowd and the science of doing so, spoken word and poetry and what they are, Australia, wrestling talk (pertinent to his show with Colt Cabana) and good old fashioned podcast chat! Freeflowing and satisfying, get in and enjoy... ...And for sure you'll want to peep his own podcast too - 'Dumb White Guy', which is available here: https://soundcloud.com/brendonburns

Triple Welcome all up on you this week for a super lavish extra episode of your Distraction PIeces Podcast!

Welcome, welcome, and as custom dictates, a third welcome upon you to the on-the-road globetrotting (UK-trotting) Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This marks your second live book tour podcast, this time broadcasting live (at the time) from Stand 3 in Edinburgh! Treats upon treats upon treats is what you have, with a nice intro holler from Pip, and a traditional DPP setup with some grand guest chat - this time from SAGE FRANCIS and B DOLAN no less! The Strange Famous brothers settle down with Pip to run down the current state of US politics, Edinburgh Fringe politics, and life politics in general. Awesome business. Following that we have the audience-as-guest section where the chat is directed by YOU (THEM - the audience) (it could have been you though, as you may well have been one of the guests), and much ground is covered as always, from spoken word and poetry (pottery?) and the slam scene, previous guests, super powers, and ending up in a really important and interesting revelation/self...

Another handful of welcomes all over your podcast listening device as we welcome you to the final part of the DrunkCast trilogy, in episode 107 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast! More treats in store over here from start to end as the gang have now warmed into their seats and are all comfortable and relaxed in their respective drunken stupors. A surprisingly controlled performance from all three I'm sure you'll agree, with a very nice setup including the man, the myth - Jackamo Brown and the multitudes he contains, fight talk with highlights from the extended run Pip and Chris shared - a good bit of MMA/UFC business covered here, CM Punk and all controversies involved, and, last but not least... Introducing Craig. You really ought to stick around for Craig. And indeed, you can show your support and enjoyment of young Craig by tweeting #CRAIGCAST at the crew. Incidentally, they are here: SCROOBIUS PIP - @scroobiuspipyo STU WHIFFEN - @stuwhiffen CHRIS GLASSON - @redshiftrebels Remember....  See aca

Welcome (((welcome))) (((welcome))) (used an echo on that one) to PART 2 of DRUNKCAST PART 4 which is EPISODE 107 of the Distraction Pieces podcast! Enough with the numbers. Let's get into it. A pretty powerful and actually rather sobering talk about suicide straight off the bat, which is ultimately uplifting and very honest and refreshing, which melts into topics including Caroline Aherne and how she touched on the UK's funny/thoughtful/melancholy nerve so well, film talk in general, Chris's fictional dog (classic material) and a charming tale involving the all engulfing force which is Jedward. All will be revealed. Top up and get in. *slight misophonia warning - items get crunched at various points so stick it out, it's not that bad...  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

You can go right ahead and multiply that welcome by 3, ladies and gentlemen, for this is episode 107 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast - but not only that - listen very closely and you'll hear a bottle being struck open and a can going >KSHHH< in the distance - it's another DrunkCast! This is the fourth time we join Pip, Stu and Chris down in the Whiff Inn (Stu's pub - surname Whiffen - you get it), and it's textbook goodness from the inebriated gang as always and it's only part 1! First of all, go and find Limp Bizkit's 'Break Stuff', put it on repeat, and sit back as we join in on a good hour or so of MMA / UFC banter, famous/infamous tribute acts, Pip's favourite film Say Anything, a heavy and rough vehicular run-in on a dark night in London, a very touching Glastonbury (which I think Chris missed a trick on by not referring to it as 'Glassonbury' but, there we go) and the Queen on high Cyndi Lauper. ALSO - listen to the podcast for the question, BUT address your answers to #SAYDRUNKCAST. Good... &n

3 X WELCOME to episode ONE HUNDRED AND SIX of the HD ready, 4K, 3D and fully rendered Distraction Pieces Podcast featuring one of the long term members of the Scroobius Pip army who you are about to become very acquainted with - it's Thomas Coles! A wonderful directors commentary style chat with Pip and Tom, going from their first visual transmissions right up the very recent work (and from the Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip days up to the solo Pip music) - and this is only part 1... A fascinating look behind the scenes, literally, including the gear they used, techniques to get the best out of everyone on set and all the lessons you learn along the way in making videos in a refreshingly hands-on and DIY way. A lot to learn in this one, and if you're familiar with the video back cat you'll love the extra trivia on offer here... GET IN goddammit! ALSO - as said in the podcast, any pro editors interested in getting in touch about that doc, here's where to direct your hollers: scroobiuspipyo@hotmail.co.uk &n

Welcome / Welcome / Welcome aboard to episode number 105 of the absolutely goddamn fabulous Distraction Pieces Podcast, with your host Scroobius Pip who is joined this week by Jordan Stephens of Rizzle Kicks! A fantastic session with Jordan, half of the UK's massive hip hop band who had crazy huge success a handful of years back (and continue to, naturally) who you will surely have heard on radios and TV and at festivals all over the globe. Rizzle Kicks live on, and you will hear some of the forthcoming plans on here of course, but join Pip and Jordan as you hear his own side of the story, a side which reveals the full on grind behind chart success and how it is not just handed to you on a platter... We join the chat on an awesome tangent about fame and what it is and the whys and whos therein, and from there on the journey is fascinating, deep and honest - Jordan's story through Brighton's hip hop underground, his background in music, he and Pip's shared acting careers and their slightly differing... &

Welcome, welcome, and as standard here is your third welcome, to the humbly magnificent Distraction Pieces Podcast! Episode 104 would you believe... Goddamn... Prepare yourselves for another heavy hitting good'un as Pip is joined by none other than UK comedy titan and overlord James Acaster! Are 'titan' and 'overlord' too strong to throw around like that? Nah. The man with the strong 'A' at the start of his surname (and partial sharer of the name of the platform you might be listening upon right now) is in the DPP studios to bring forth pure goodness on your ears, sharing his take on all things comedy (UK and otherwise), his modest entry into the comedy scene and how he went from awesomely named band to awesomely named band until he broke good into comedy, his Edinburgh Fringe experiences (from bad to very very good), and way deeper into his ongoing comedy hours and the themes, dreams and schemes therein. Too much science and wisdom to be synopsised in this description - just dive on in and live it won't...
