Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the excellent actor and long overdue guest ANDREW ELLIS!Long overdue in many ways, but directly as Pip gradually ticks off the cast of the This Is England on his database... Also of course, as mentioned in this episode, with Stephen Graham being the spiritual godfather of this podcast, it all makes infinite sense. Andrew has been putting in the work over the years and has kind of grown up on both sides of the camera, with a perfect loop of life feeding the art and art feeding life in a balance that has taken a while to achieve. So it's great to hear things are in a nice spot, as well hearing about the past dalliances with podcasting (Overrated Everything), parent life, the said importance of living a life off screen, and his many roles stemming from Gadget in This Is England. He has a bunch of work in the pipeline, including 'The Walk-In' (mentioned in the episode - in case you heard it as "the walking"!), so keep an eye open for all those - but in the meantime, enjoy the present, as Andrew joins in the fun.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the wonderful writer, podcaster, artist and filmmaker POPPY HILLSTEAD!Poppy's been in the game for a minute and you will very likely know and appreciate her fine work in the podcasting realm (including Gossipmongers, Has Entered The Chat and presently Brainwash Me, but she's been putting in a ton of work over the years in all aspects of the media. We catch up with Poppy hot on the heels of a returning pet cat, and go straight into the very strange world of the chatroom areas of the internet and how they almost instantly elevate to sex talk, her many varied podcasts, finding comedy through early animation work, the adoption of a brainscanner for the new podcast, sections of society that are either chill or just weird, and bringing out and/or celebrating the gross. Fun and crazy at all times, and when dealing with the underworld of the internet, just to let you know, expect to hear some extreme bits and pieces here and there (nothing purely miserable, just, ya know, be cautious if you're sensitive!).

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the hilarious comic and podcaster JOEY PAGE!It's a genuine pleasure to listen to Joey recount not only his past journey but present path and explorations, and it sounds like it has been a very eventful road. A huge and wide ranging chat with Pip including his tour support time, show friend Nick Helm, rebranding his own style and how he did it, the trilby hat days, long hair, road awareness and driving, Got A Problem Mate with Bilal Zafar, Pizza Hut employee status, working class folks and inheriting a work ethic, divorce and transition, writing every day and Coach Trip! I mean where do you start... So much to fit in, enjoy!PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureGOT A PROBLEM MATEINSTAGRAMYOUTUBEONLINESPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMPIP TWITTERPIP PATREONPIP IMDBPOD BIBLE

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by JANE POWELL, chief executive of STAMMA!You could file this episode under "people you might not know but will be glad you now do" - it's one of those awesome episodes where Pip chats to someone who tends to steer clear of the spotlight, like many of us, but has a huge amount to share when probed just a little bit (also like many of us!). Jane launched and ran the charity CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably) who you will be familiar with if you're a long term listener of the podcast, and has come through a huge amount of awesome activism work on her journey. Working with STAMMA has proved to be a great chance to continue along similar lines, in smoothing out some of the rough edges of the world for those who stammer. For those who don't, these rough edges might never appear, but with just a slight nudge in the direction of empathy, a lot of the potential obstacles out there rapidly reveal themselves. Jane explains all this, and a huge amount more, so enjoy this absorbing and very interesting chat with Pip and Jane!PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureSTAMMAOUR TRIBE event chaired by Pip!CONTACT STAMMASTAMMA IGC.A.L.M.SPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMPIP TWITTERPIP PATREONPIP IMDBPOD BIBLE

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by two extra special guests - the awesome actor/director ALICE LOWE and fabulous actor NICK FROST!A bit of a formal way of introducing these two wonderful people but they really are two absolute treasures of cinematic and televisual goodness. Alice has been delivering incredible work after incredible work on the big and small screen for years now, and her new film 'Timestalker' is out and about and ready for your attention - you will know Alice from all sorts, including Garth Merenghi's Dark Place, Prevenge and Sightseers among others. She's joined by pal and co-star of Timestalker Nick Frost in this chat, who you also know from years of excellent output including Spaced, Shaun of The Dead and Hot Fuzz to name a few. This is a bubbly, friendly conversation which goes into all sorts, a ton about process and how the whole thing works on and off screen, and all sorts of valuable nuggets of all types. Such a fun one, you'll love it. Peep all links below for much more but for now, enjoy this 5 star episode.PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureALICE INSTAGRAMNICK INSTAGRAMALICE IMDBNICK IMDBTIMESTALKERSVALTA / GET AWAYSPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMPIP TWITTERPIP PATREONPIP IMDBPOD BIBLE

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the excellent actor, style icon and show friend HARRY LAWTEY!We can safely say that the 'show friend' addition is a two way street too, as Harry was listening back in his drama school days! So it's a real treat that Pip gets to chat to Harry, and probably a weird moment for Harry too being a long-term listener...! It's a superb converstion, as they get into so much about acting and process, all things in front of and behind the curtain, but also there's so much to be gained from hearing Harry's perspective on things here. Seriously, if you take notes from all the acting homies that have been on the show you'll be in a massively good place to take up the craft yourself... Or at least soak up some free game! You can find Harry on the HBO series 'Industry', in the new Joker movie (which of course gets covered gloriously in part 2 of this chat!), and so many more - peep the IMDB for the runthrough. And otherwise - enjoy this brilliant chat with the Distraction Pieces pal Harry!PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureINSTAGRAMINDUSTRYJOKER FOLIE Å DEUXTHE PALE BLUE EYEIMDBSPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMPIP TWITTERPIP PATREONPIP IMDBPOD BIBLE
