TV Shows Of The Year 2023 (w/ John Harris & Joel Grove) • Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #557

Ep. 557

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!

Bonus time as Pip makes the pyramid of power with fellow podcasters JOHN & JOEL for the TV SHOWS OF THE YEAR!


* Succession spoiler around 27m - I've added a mini jingle to let you know when... It's about 2-3 minutes long to be on the safe side so BE WARNED if you've yet to see season 4...


(Producer Buddy here - I've 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 devourers of content - the endless options of platforms, the accessibility of them all, and everything else... But really it's a perfect way to get up to speed on the things you might have missed, and also hear people chat about the shows that we all loved throughout the year. Who knows what 2024 has in store for us... But really - who cares? This is 2023 right here! ENJOY!

    Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!Pip, Chris and Stu assemble in the regular formation for that very special time of year we all know and love, it's DRUNKAST TIME! 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 usual guest-led episodes!Things get messier as the episodes progress, but if you're an OG DPP / Hardcore Listing head, you'll enjoy the ride for sure.

  • 598. Ruth Husko (writer / podcaster / tweetgenius) #598

    01:09:42||Ep. 598
    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.

  • 597. Alex Edelman (standup / podcasts / Just For Us) #597

    57:50||Ep. 597
    Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the great and glorious comic and writer ALEX EDELMAN!A perfect episode to shed some light and positivity on a lot of what's happened in the US over the past month and much further back too, in case you need it. But also just to let you know in case you're studiously avoiding such topics - this isn't a self pitying doom and gloom-fest by any means so fear not. Alex is very well versed in this stuff so you're in safe hands, and also it's not ALL about that! So again - fear not. It turns out Alex is a missing piece of the DPP puzzle and a very welcome addition to the guest list, and you'll hear about all the aspects that are relevant to his world including time in Boston, success at Edinburgh Fringe in 2014 which opened a whole new path, UK comedy, having many pals over here in the same comedic universe, divisions and how to meet them and bridge the gaps, approaching the world with its wide range of problems, and pastries. In a more simple life, pastries might just be the answer.PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureONLINEINSTAGRAMJUST FOR USPATREONSPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMPIP TWITTERPIP PATREONPIP IMDBPOD BIBLE
