Distraction Pieces Podcast With Scroobius Pip

Welcome, welcome, welcome, yes indeed Team 3W, it's another one... Episode 163 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip awaits your immediate attention - and it's a smash as always this week as we warmly welcome the wonderful Laurie Penny to the recording apparatus! A full on in depth heavy hitter right here, as Laurie and Pip go in on all manner of pertinent social and political topics - from the white male's position of privilege in society, to matters involving Trump and how it might be best to adopt a 'cold take' approach as opposed to the 'hot take' which we have become so accustomed to with Twitter at our fingertips, her columns and blogging career, journalism and just a whole awesome range of enlightening excellence. And as Pip states at the start, maybe a few things worth taking on board by way of evolving and progressing... A deep one and certainly one to really focus on - Laurie drops science from a great height here, get involved! ••••• LAURIE PENNY on TWITTER! - https://twitter.com/

Welcome welcome welcome to episode 162 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! A delicious episode right here as Pip sits down for a hell of a chat with the very awesome Alice Lowe! You are sure to have caught Alice on anything from the gloriously weird Garth Marenghi's Darkplace to the equally weird and wonderful Mighty Boosh and TONS more besides, as well as her big screen work on films like Hot Fuzz, Sightseers or more recently - and more urgently! - Prevenge, her new film where she is basically going deep method in that she was pregnant through the filming, which fed perfectly into the role as a pregnant woman. It couldn't have synced up nicer than that! Listen to Alice's story unfold and get a powerful insight into her acting world - as you can well imagine, it contains multitudes...

A rousing three-part welcome to you and yours as we enter the one hundred and sixtieth episode of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! You never thought Pip's pod would take it this far... Nah that can't be true - that was just a crowbarred-in Biggie reference. Nevertheless - here's a VERY juicy episode right here featuring the UK rap gawd and multi-talented all rounder Doc Brown! A full on massive chat here as Pip and Doc catch up on all monosyllabic matters (and polysyllabic, come on now) from the early days of the Doc Brown beginnings right up to the present. And what a journey it is - maybe you know him from his appearances on Ricky Gervais's 'Derek', his legendary 'Slang 101' rap (a Youtube firestarter), his rap career in general, his early days in the Deal Real scene way back when, his presenting skills (and awesome fill-in on the Radio 5 Live film reviews - hello to Jason Isaac), and now author... Well, whichever discipline from which you know the Doc, prepare for a wonderful trip down t

Welcome, welcome, welcome to your ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTIETH episode of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! What a proper corker of an episode this week too - I mean they all are but, you know... This one is no exception. Please take your seats and adorn your listening apparatus as we cordially welcome the amazing Laura Dockrill to the podcast throne! Very much a creative multi-threat (while being entirely non-threatening of course), Laura is a master of all trades she turns her busy hands to, as you will hear throughout her chat with Pip. A long awaited chat at that, as this is very much an old pal reunion, so it's a real treat to hear the two trade bars on the old scenes they were involved in. From artwork to poetry to published books to masterclass holder to rapping (in the old days as Dockers MC) to all round inspirational productive powerhouse, listen and feel that creative spark grow inside you - as stated earlier, this is a proper corker of an episode. GET INVOLVED! ••••• LAURA on TWITTE

A LOT of ground covered, voices get loud, tempers flare, and as you can imagine there are some elements of unintelligible speech, but goddamn you're in for a treat as this 8th DrunkCast concludes in fine fashion...

TEAM 3W... The time has come... Welcome welcome welcome to episode 158 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip, which happens to be the long awaited DESTINY 2 special! A huge amount of professional gaming goodness right here, as Pip focuses them lazers solely on the forthcoming DESTINY 2 from Activision.

Team 3W where you at? Three welcomes delivered to your doorstep as ever, as we straighten out the doormat and hoover the hallway to this week's Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip - it's episode 157! A heavy one at that, and certainly one that will hit home with a good few of you, or shine a light on some parts of the armed forces that perhaps you may not have been familiar with previously. Here to deliver such science is Wayne Sharrocks - film maker, public speaker and campaigner, but more importantly, he served in the British Army for a good seven years or so, and is therefore more than qualified to deliver the insider perspective on the armed forces and process of becoming a soldier from start to end. A big subject to tackle, an emotive and provocative one too, and Wayne and Pip don't mess around with this - it's a honest and frank discussion which hits upon the whole sphere of national defence, ranging from the reasons why one might sign up, the age of new recruits (and why currently that may n

Welcome, Welcome, Welcome to YOU - and three times welcomed you are to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip, episode 156 at that! A proper filfy drum n' bass banger right here this week too as Pip is joined FINALLY after a long bout of scheduling and planning by the one and only, the Metalhead himself, the UK's national drum & bass treasure - Goldie! "The barbarians from within will raise their heads and rise the deities..." ...and that's one single quote from this absolutely ram packed and intense juggernaught rollercoaster of an episode, as Pip white-knuckles the railing and hold on for dear life as the whirlwind rolls through town and demolishes all in its path! The whirlwind being Goldie, that is. I'm sure you gathered that. Finding his home out in Phuket these days, the path has been rocky, full on, winding and incredible and Goldie has lived through it all - the raves, the graf days out in the Bronx, early days of techno, being a household name in what they used to call 'intelligent dr

Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back to PART 2 of episode 155 of DPP (as we can call it now since you're all familiar from part 1) with Scroobius Pip! How great was part 1 eh? Well find that comfortable spot with your nominated listening apparatus from a few hours ago and prepare to be doubly satisfied as you enjoy the second part with CHRISTOPHER FAIRBANK! So much goodness, as Christopher gets deep into the acting science with past and previous, and rounds up this episode with some phenomenal tales from the sets of the original Tim Burton 'Batman' and David Fincher's 'Alien 3'... Those anecdotes alone could well make their own episodes, some crazy business by the sounds of things! Absolute madness. Besides that, there's a ton more to uncover, with personal philosophies, morals, experiences, lessons, so much to ensure that you keep checking for Christopher's work from here on out and back into the past. Amazing stuff from a true stage and screen veteran. Enjoy, again! ••••• AUF WIEDERSEHEN PET on TWITTE

Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode 155 of the fresh, fly, wild and bold DISTRACTION PIECES PODCAST with Scroobius Pip! Hopefully you have found a comfortable spot and your phone is fully charged, or at least at like 35% minimum or thereabouts (or your iPod or however you go about your business), and you are ready for a grand double part dose of goodness as Pip is joined by acting heavyweight Christopher Fairbank! With a rich and varied career in front of the camera, Clavering's own Christopher obviously has a ton of tales to share and good lord you're gonna get some here... He and Pip find time to sit down and "set the chat among the pigeons" (word to Alan Partridge) and get down and dirty in the earlier years of Christopher's life. While he has many a tale to tell about the acting side of things, you'll love his rundown of his early life and growing up - a full on cinematic narrative in itself, combining boarding schools, smoking at an insanely early age, discovering acting instincts on stage through... &

Welcome welcome welcome to your 154th episode of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! And that is an actual factual statement as Pip has been on each and every one, without fail, sometimes more than once a week at that. So it's actually MORE than 154 really... But anyway - let's get down to business. Another wonderful actor-based chat this week as Pip sits down with one of Liverpool's finest Mr NEIL FITZMAURICE, actor, comedian, writer and more! Neil and Pip find themselves working alongside one another currently on a new film called 'Walk Like A Panther' (which has been announced so this can be referred to by name!), and make use of the canteen on-set to have a full on, broad-ranging and hugely entertaining discussion covering the whole lot - politics and the current electoral situation, the Hillsborough tragedy which hit Neil very personally and comprehensively in a number of ways, his upbringing and early life where his playwright seeds were sewn, right up to his acting career which found...

Welcome. Welcome. And you know what? You've earned it. Welcome. Now we're done with the formalities, consider yourself appropriately welcomed to your ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THIRD episode of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! One fiddy three. Imagine that. In a drastic change to last week's solo spoken word episode, Pip has some real life company this week, and as such this is a truly golden episode - ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy the shining ray of light that is Sofia Boutella! One of those incredibly inspirational episodes where the conversation really drives through some lovely terrain, and you'll enjoy where this journey takes you for real. Sofia is currently all over the place (as Pip witnessed via the medium of the good old American billboard) with her new blockbuster 'The Mummy' on release (co-starring some fella whose first name is Tom, that's all the info we have at this point), but you may well know her from her varied work in 'Star Trek', 'Kingsman', and killing it in an...

Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode 152 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! In a slight alteration to the usual proceedings to which we have all become so accustomed, the guest this week is SCROOBIUS PIP his goddamn self! Working with the formula of such Speech Development Records releases such as 'At Home With Polar' (Polarbear) or 'At Home With Rob' (Rob Auton), Pip sat down in his temporary residence up in Los Angeles and recorded a selection of his poems read from his book 'Poetry In (e)Motion', the graphic poetry novel released all the way back in 2010. Pip's been crazy busy with all manner of podcast and acting related activity of late, over the past couple of years in fact, so this is a very cool opportunity to sit in with your host and indulge in some non 'Ask Pip' episode company for a change! No spoilers as to what you'll be treated to here, but it's a fantastic episode and a different one to usual. It's a goody for the original Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip heads, the solo Pip...

Welcome welcome welcome to episode 151 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! Very happy to have you aboard. This week is a straight up New Yorican banger, as Pip is joined by the infamous, the notorious, the Fun Lovin' Criminal himself Mister Huey Morgan! A long awaited one right here, as Pip has forged a friendship with Huey over the years so a chat was always on the cards between these two. From his days misbehaving in New York back in the day (now currently causing havoc in Somerset!), to joining the Marines and channeling his inner aggression into more positive areas, to bartending and setting up a band which would later lead to an illustrious music career, all peppered with real life madness - living through 9/11, a standoff with a Hanson member (and close relation), and that appearance on Never Mind The Buzzcocks. Huey is a powerful presence in the music industry and whether you've been down since Fun Lovin' Criminals or picked up on him through his 6 Music show, you'll get a lot out...

That's 60,000 downloads per episodes including this one, if you were to break it down into cold hard mathematics. Thanks so kindly to all of you DPP heads and original TEAM 3W fam for all you do! And by way of thanks - enjoy this marvelous episode of golf talk with the long awaited guest ANDREW 'BEEF' JOHNSTON! He didn't receive the nickname from a love of beef, or for that matter for having beef with anyone (as you'll hear, it's hard to imagine him having beef with anyone in the world), but from - ahh, you'll have to hear for yourself now won't ya... A lovely chat from a truly loveable character who you may know, and of course may not - either way, as with the Distraction Pieces code, its not about the popularity in the grand media scheme of things, but what kind of interview Pip...

Much more wonder and merriment to round off your double dose of good time rapping with the gawd Piplo, as he covers some more ground including more UFC, beard talk, a nice snippet from his old show on XFM, acting game, and a question which leads the podcast in a very moving and pretty heart-wrenching direction.
