Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the always excellent writer and comic SOPHIE DUKER!A mere couple of years since Sophie's previous visit to the podcast but so much has happened - but this is someone who frankly has a backstage laminate and is always welcome. A really lovely chat and catchup after what was a pretty tough Eurostar journey from Paris, in which she and Pip get into all things present, past and future (some of which were - at the time - huge news - and have since developed in ways they of course would not have known!). There's a lot of really decent Edinburgh Fringe talk too which is something Sophie's very familiar with, but generally this is one of those conversations where a huge amount of ground is covered and time passes way too quickly. So take some time and enjoy, it's a great one. Oh and do peep Sophie's forthcoming book 'DONG' won't ya!PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureSOPHIE ONLINE (for all relevant info!)DONG pre-ordersINSTAGRAMSOPHIE ON DPP '24SPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMPIP TWITTERPIP PATREONPIP IMDB

emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with PETER CAPALDI, originally episode 555 from 2024-02-21.Original writeup below:Depending on where you caught Peter on his timeline, you may know him as Malcolm Tucker, Dr Who, or even Oldsen if you've seen Local Hero. Point is - Peter's been busy for decades, and continues to be so. He's also an awesome hang, as you will find out as Pip gets a good hour or so in his company. They get into all sorts, including of course the roles and acting experiences, but also the wide world of culture wars and nonsence arguments, problems with leadership, maintaining good vibes on set, London as a crime backdrop, the greatness of Glasgow, Lewis Capaldi and his relation to him, making diorama studios as a kid, and the hand of destiny in his acting career. NOT avoiding the hypetrain for the show brought to you by he and his wife, Criminal Record on Apple TV! So much to enjoy. Better step to it.PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureIMDBINSTAGRAMTARDIS WIKIDOCTOR WHOCRIMINAL RECORDTHE THICK OF ITPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMSPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITTERPIP IMDB

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the truly fabulous actor SHABANA AZEEZ!A perfect behind the scenes of stage and screen chat with Shabana, fresh from Emmy celebrations and ready to get into it all. For some, this might be your first time hearing from Shabana especially if you're only just familiarising yourself with The Pitt (good for you) - but for others, you'll be well versed in her awesome acting range and path since back in the day. Of course, a huge amount has happened since the growing up days back in Adelaide, and it makes sense that we find Shabana right here as the acting and arts leanings have been there since her younger years. Here we hear about most of the roles, including of course The Pitt, but also the excellent The Airport Chaplain, and the lesser known but no less brilliantly titled Lesbian Space Princess - so much to get into, so let's cut this reading thing short and leave it to you to get listening immediately.PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureIMDBINSTAGRAMTHE PITTTHE AIRPORT CHAPLAINLESBIAN SPACE PRINCESSSPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMPIP TWITTERPIP PATREONPIP IMDB

Today, we catch up with JAMES BUCKLEY, originally episode 144 from 2017-03-29.A fun one from way back in the day now, which Inbetweeners heads will love and newcomers (if such a thing is possible) will enjoy equally. Tons of goodness and fun in this one, which at time of publishing is almost 10 years old!PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureIMDBPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMSPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITTERPIP IMDB

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the brilliant actor of stage and screen RALF LITTLE!Fresh from a huge theatre round of 'The Spy Who Came In From The Cold', Ralf joins Pip for a long overdue chat which seemingly goes off on a bunch of tangents, but on closer inspection you'll hear how connected each strand really is. Of course a huge section involves acting and the science behind the performance (or more accurately, how to portray a role while not losing touch with your own brain), but elsewhere there are great angles involving the upcoming 'Hunting Alice Bell' and where the story came from, working with David Baddiel, the all seeing eye of Simon Pegg, getting into and out of Twitter storms, the mental clarity one can achieve by simply putting the phone down, expectations of various societal groups and mansplaining the 'Me Too' movement to a non-male acquaintance. It's a lot! Enjoy.PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureIMDBTHE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLDHUNTING ALICE BELLSPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMPIP TWITTERPIP PATREONPIP IMDB

emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with RICHARD E GRANT, originally episode 250 from 2019-01-30.Original writeup below:Hopefully you will have caught his perfect video reaction to being nominated for an Oscar, which is of course well overdue but greatly deserved, or maybe you will have read about or even seen his new film ‘Can You Ever Forgive Me?’. In either case, if you have missed those, by all means CATCH UP with the quickness. But you will surely know Richard for his many varied performances throughout his illustrious career, which will DEFINITELY include the classic ‘Withnail And I’. That is a given. Add to that his star turns in films and shows like ‘LA Story’ (which forged a lifelong friendship with Steve Martin), ‘Girls’, ‘Game Of Thrones’ and a good four decades more, and there you have it. A carved in marble filmography of a true superstar right there. Covering everything including that Oscar nomination, the collaborative nature of film, how a testosterone-charged set is not always awesome, the grey area of memorabilia, the importance of casting directors, his booze allergy (believe it or not), his Swaziland origins, making theatres when he was kid and right up to the habit he shares with Pip of wearing two watches, it’s a packed episode.PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureCAN YOU EVER FORGIVE ME?TWITTERTHE INTERNETIMDBPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMSPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITTERPIP IMDB
